Detailed explanation-1: -Lung cancer (both small cell and non-small cell) is the second most common cancer in both men and women in the United States (not counting skin cancer). In men, prostate cancer is more common, while in women breast cancer is more common.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two main types of lung cancer: small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A third less common type of lung cancer is called carcinoid.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lung cancer is the UK’s biggest cancer killer. It kills over 35, 300 people in the UK each year, which is more than breast, bowel, bladder and cervical cancer combined. The disease accounts for around a fifth of all UK cancer deaths (21 per cent) and one in seven (13 per cent) of all new UK cancer cases.
