May 20, 2013 Lung cancer is cancer that starts in the lungs. The
lungs are located in the chest. When you breathe, air goes
through your nose, down your windpipe (trachea), and into the
lungs, where it spreads through tubes called bronchi. Most lung
cancer begins in the cells that line these tubes. There are two
main types of lung cancer: - Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
is the most common type of lung cancer. - Small cell lung cancer
makes up about 20% of all lung cancer cases. If the lung cancer
is made up of both types, it is called mixed small cell/large
cell cancer. If the cancer started somewhere else in the body
and spread to the lungs, it is called metastatic cancer to the
lung. Recent findings and perspectives on medical research.
Prospects for people with advanced disease are better than just
a few years ago. - CT Scans for Lung Cancer - Prognosis: When
