Lung Cancer Center - Your Partner in the Fight Against Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is a diagnosis that brings fear, uncertainty, and numerous questions. However, modern medicine has advanced significantly, offering various treatment options, support systems, and care approaches. At our lung cancer center, we prioritize patient-centric care, ensuring that each individual receives tailored treatment pathways that address their specific needs and circumstances.
Understanding Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is categorized primarily into two types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Knowing the type of lung cancer is crucial for determining the appropriate treatment options. Here’s a brief overview of these types:
- Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): This is the most common form, accounting for approximately 85% of cases. It includes several subtypes such as adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.
- Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC): This type typically grows and spreads more quickly than NSCLC and is often associated with smoking.
In addition to these classifications, lung cancer can be categorized based on the stage of the disease, which can significantly impact treatment and clinical outcomes.
