A member asked:
Can you tell me about the difference in small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treated differently: Non small cell cancer refers to any lung cancer that is not small cell. Small cell lung cancer is a subset of all lung cancer that is typically very responsive to chemotherapy, so it is important to know the type of lung cancer to determine the best treatment.
