NSCLC

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for about 85% of cases. It develops from the cells lining the lungs and is often linked to smoking, though non-smokers can also be affected. NSCLC is categorized into three main subtypes: adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. Symptoms can include persistent cough, difficulty breathing, and chest pain. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests and biopsies. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapies, depending on the cancer stage and individual patient factors.
