Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Overview

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for approximately 85% of all lung cancer cases. NSCLC develops when abnormal cells in the lung grow uncontrollably, forming tumors that can impair lung function, spread to nearby tissues, and metastasize to other parts of the body. NSCLC is generally divided into three main subtypes: adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. Each subtype has distinct characteristics, and the progression of NSCLC varies based on factors like cancer stage, location, and individual health conditions.
