What is Lung Cancer
Lung cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the lungs grow uncontrollably. It is one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Two major types exist: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC, about 85% of cases, including adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma) and Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC, faster-growing and more aggressive, strongly linked to smoking).
