Basics

Lung Cancer, biologically known as Bronchogenic Carcinoma, is spreading much faster than other types of cancer. Each year there are more than 40,000 people diagnosed as suffering from lung cancer all over the world. The lung cancer rate is on the rise among women because of the increase in smoking. There are fears that it may even become more common than breast cancer.
There are two major types of lung cancers: Primary Lung Cancer and Secondary Lung Cancer. These are further subdivided into many other forms of lung cancer.
PRIMARY LUNG CANCER
There is three main types in primary lung cancer.

  • Small cell lung cancer.
  • This is also called ‘Oat Cell’ lung cancer because of the distinctive shape of cancer cells.
  • Non-small cell lung cancers.
  • Three sub-categories are included in non-small cell lung cancers. Squamous cell carcinoma: It is the most common type of lung cancer. It develops from the cells that line the airways.
    Adeno Carcinoma: It develops from a particular type of cell that produces mucus (phlegm).
    Large cell carcinoma: It is called so because the cells look large and rounded when viewed under a microscope.
    Occasionally it is not possible to work out which type of non-small cell lung cancer you have. If the cells in the biopsy are not much developed, it just may not be possible to tell.. This will not make any difference to your treatment as all non-small cell lung cancers are treated the same way at present.
  • Mesothelioma:
  • This is a rare type of cancer, which affects the covering of the lung called the pleura. It is often caused by exposure to asbestos.
    SECONDARY LUNG CANCER (Metastatic cancer)
    Secondary lung cancer starts somewhere else in the body (for example, the breast or bowel) and spreads to the lungs. The choice of treatment depends on where the cancer starts. In other words, cancer that has spread from the breast should respond to breast cancer treatments and cancer that has spread from the bowel should respond to bowel cancer treatments.
