Detailed explanation-1: -About 10% to 15% of all lung cancers are SCLC. It is sometimes called oat cell cancer. This type of lung cancer tends to grow and spread faster than NSCLC. In most people with SCLC, the cancer has already spread beyond the lungs at the time it is diagnosed.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two different types of small cell lung cancer: small cell carcinoma and mixed small cell/large cell cancer or combined small cell lung cancer. The types of small cell lung cancer are named for the kinds of cells found in the cancer and how the cells look when viewed under a microscope.
Detailed explanation-3: -SCLC is a very aggressive form of cancer that often goes undiagnosed until it’s more advanced, so the survival rate tends to be low. However, if the cancer is detected in its early stages, the chances of making a recovery are much higher.
