Small cell lung cancer gets its name because the cancer cells look small and round under a microscope. With non-small cell lung cancer, the cancer cells are larger. Typically, small cell lung cancer grows faster than non-small cell lung cancer. Even so, non-small cell lung cancer is often diagnosed after the cancer has spread to other areas of your body. 4, record 1, English, - non%2Dsmall%20cell%20lung%20cancer

Traditionnellement, le cancer du poumon est divisé en deux grands groupes histologiques : (1) cancers du poumon à petites cellules (environ 15 % des cas) et (2) cancers du poumon non à petites cellules (CPNPC). Le groupe des CPNPC est à son tour subdivisé en adénocarcinomes, carcinomes épidermoïdes, carcinomes à grandes cellules, carcinomes sarcomatoïdes et carcinomes adénosquameux. 1, record 1, French, - cancer%20du%20poumon%20non%20%C3%A0%20petites%20cellules
