  • 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
