3 Common Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Risk Factors
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 80% of lung cancer diagnoses. It occurs when cells in the lungs start to grow in a rapid and uncontrollable way. This then leads to the development of a malignant (cancerous) tumour which causes damage to the lungs. There are a number of factors […]
4 Top Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Tests
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common of the two types of lung cancer representing 80% of all diagnoses. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the less common of the two accounting for the remaining 20%. This disease develops when the cells of the lung start to grow in a rapid […]
3 Possible Warning Signs for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
There are two types of lung cancer; non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). NSCLC is the most prevalent of the two with around 80% of lung cancer cases being this type. It begins when the cells of the lungs start to grow rapidly and uncontrollably which ultimately leads […]
What is Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer?
There are actually two types of lung cancer; non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Lung cancer often refers to NSCLC which represents 80% of cases with SCLC representing the other 20%. In this article I will be discussing NSCLC in more detail.
As I already said NSCLC is the […]
3 Top Tips for Preventing Small Cell Lung Cancer
SCLC is one of the less common types of lung cancer accounting for around 20% of all diagnoses. It is often referred to as oat cell carcinoma because the small cells of the lungs look similar to oats. SCLC develops when the small cells of the lung start to grow in a rapid […]
4 Useful Small Cell Lung Cancer Tests
There are two main types of lung cancer; small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). SCLC is responsible for approximately 20% of these lung cancers. It is sometimes referred to as oat cell carcinoma due to the small cells in the lung bearing a similar resemblance to oats. […]
3 Potential Small Cell Lung Cancer Symptoms
There are two main types of lung cancer; small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Of these two types, SCLC represents around 20%. It is often nicknamed oat cell carcinoma due to the oat like appearance of the small cells of the lungs. SCLC develops when these small […]
3 Popular Mesothelioma (Asbestos Cancer) Tests
Mesothelioma is one of the rarer forms of cancer with approximately 2000 cases reported in the UK each year. There are two types of mesothelioma; pleural mesothelioma (which causes the lining of the lungs to become thicker) and peritoneal mesothelioma (which causes the lining of the abdomen to become thicker). Both of these […]
4 Major Risk Factors For Small Cell Lung Cancer
Lung cancer can be broken down into two types; small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer. SCLC accounts for approximately 20% of all lung cancers. It is often referred to as oat cell carcinoma because the small cells of the lung have a similar appearance to oats. SCLC develops when there is […]
3 Potential Peritoneal Mesothelioma Symptoms
Mesothelioma is one of the less common types of cancer affecting around 2000 people in the UK each year. It develops when the linings of the lungs or the abdomen start to grow in a rapid and uncontrollable way. This condition is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos and because of this […]
