Day 1 by Lynn Sherwood of 30 Days of Lung Cancer Facts You Didn’t Know You Didn’t Know

THERE ARE 2 PRIMARY TYPES OF LUNG CANCER

Different types of lung cancer are described by the types of cells a pathologist sees under the microscope, per LUNGevity.org’s “Types of Lung Cancers” page:

• About 15% of lung cancers are Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (SCLC).
• About 85% of lung cancers are NON-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC).
  • Per the American Cancer Society, there are three major types of NON-Small Cell Lung Cancer:
    1. Adenocarcinoma
    2. Squamous cell lung cancer (also called epidermoid carcinoma)
    3. Large cell lung cancer

• **Lung cancer is THE leading cause of cancer death, for men AND for women.** IF YOU HAVE LUNGS, YOU CAN GET LUNG CANCER.
