  2. There are two main types of lung cancer1 • Howlader N, Noone AM, Krapcho M, et al. (eds). SEER Cancer Statistics Review, 1975-2010, National Cancer Institute. Bethesda, MD, http://seer.cancer.gov/csr/1975_2010/, based on November 2012 SEER data submission, posted to the SEER web site, April 2013, accessed on 15/09/2013.

  3. NSCLC can be further divided into different sub-types1 Large cell carcinoma (2.6% of lung cancer) Lung Cancer (100%) Other NSCLC (20.2% of lung cancer) Squamous cell carcinoma (21.4% of lung cancer) Adenocarcinoma (40.1% of lung cancer) NSCLC (85.3% of lung cancer) • Howlader N, Noone AM, Krapcho M, et al. (eds). SEER Cancer Statistics Review, 1975-2010, National Cancer Institute. Bethesda, MD, http://seer.cancer.gov/csr/1975_2010/, based on November 2012 SEER data submission, posted to the SEER web site, April 2013, accessed on 15/09/2013.

  4. NSCLC: Adenocarcinoma 40.1%1 Adenocarcinoma Adenocarcinoma lesions are usually peripherally located2 Most frequent in women and non-smokers2 Some patients have EGFR/ErbB1 mutations; these patients require a specific diagnosis and treatment approach3 1. Howlader N, Noone AM, Krapcho M, et al. (eds). SEER Cancer Statistics Review, 1975-2010, National Cancer Institute. Bethesda, MD, http://seer.cancer.gov/csr/1975_2010/, based on November 2012 SEER data submission, posted to the SEER web site, April 2013, accessed on 15/09/2013. 2. Heighway J & Betticher DC. Atlas Genet Cytogenet Oncol Haematol. February 2004. 3. Vijayalakshmi R, et al. Indian J Surg Oncol 2011;2:178‒188.

  5. NSCLC: Squamous cell carcinoma 21.4%1 Squamous Cell Carcinoma2 Squamous Cell Carcinoma lesions are generally centrally located, near bronchi Tends to spread locally Closely correlated with smoking 1. Howlader N, Noone AM, Krapcho M, et al. (eds). SEER Cancer Statistics Review, 1975-2010, National Cancer Institute. Bethesda, MD, http://seer.cancer.gov/csr/1975_2010/, based on November 2012 SEER data submission, posted to the SEER web site, April 2013, accessed on 15/09/2013. 2. Heighway J & Betticher DC. Atlas Genet Cytogenet Oncol Haematol. February 2004.

  6. NSCLC: Large cell carcinoma 2.6%1 Large Cell Carcinoma Comprised of undifferentiated cells 2 Lesions are usually peripherally located but can occur anywhere 2 High tendency to metastasize2 1. Howlader N, Noone AM, Krapcho M, et al. (eds). SEER Cancer Statistics Review, 1975-2010, National Cancer Institute. Bethesda, MD, http://seer.cancer.gov/csr/1975_2010/, based on November 2012 SEER data submission, posted to the SEER web site, April 2013, accessed on 15/09/2013. 2. Heighway J & Betticher DC. Atlas Genet Cytogenet Oncol Haematol. February 2004.

  7. NSCLC: Other 20.2%1 Other, including Not Otherwise Specified (NOS) or Unknown A classification of NOS or unknown is usually due to ineffective sampling and examination2 This classification is expected to decline in use due to more accurate biopsies and advances in immunohistochemistry and biomarker testing2 1. Howlader N, Noone AM, Krapcho M, et al. (eds). SEER Cancer Statistics Review, 1975-2010, National Cancer Institute.
