What types of lung cancers are there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
An array: The lung can be a site of metastatic cells shed from their primary and contaii a surface glycoprotein allowing implantation in lung parenchyma. The primary lesions that arise in the tracheobronchial tree are squamous and associated with smoking. The adenocarcinomas which are now most frequent are possibly viral in origin and the small cell neuroendocrines are similar to carcinoid of bowel.
