Squamous Cell Lung Cancer - Defined

Squamous cell lung cancer is the most common lung cancer and accounts for 25% - 30% of all forms of lung cancer.

Squamous cell lung cancer develops from the cells lining the airways, often find near the middle of the lung in one of the main airways (the left or right bronchus). 

Squamous cell lung cancer, or squamous cell carcinoma (also called epidermoid carcinoma), is one of the three large cell lung cancers.

The other two being Adenocarcinoma and Large-Cell Undifferentiated Carcinoma.

This form of lung cancer begins in squamous cells, which are thin and flat cells that look like fish scales.

Large cell lung cancers account for approximately 80 percent of lung cancers and is often more treatable than the small cell lung cancers.

Large cell lung cancer can often be treated with chemotherapy, radiation or surgery even after the cancer has spread, large cell also tends to grow and spread much slower than small cell lung cancer.
