There are two major types of lung cancers:

•  Small cell lung cancer –tends to spread widely through the body. The cancer cells can multiply quickly, form large tumors, and spread to lymph nodes and other organs such as the bones, brain, adrenal glands, and liver. This type of cancer also starts in the bronchi near the center of the chest. Small cell lung cancer is almost always caused by smoking
•  Non-small cell lung cancer – The majority of lung cancers are non-small cell type. There are three sub types of this cancer. The cells in these types differ in size, shape and chemical make-up:

         - Squamous cell carcinoma – this type are associated with a history of smoking

        -  Adeno carcinoma –usually found in the outer region of the lung

        - Large cell carcinoma –it may appear in any part of the lung, and it tends to grow and spread very quickly.
