Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women.
There are two major types of lung cancer - small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. If a lung cancer has characteristics of both types, it is called a mixed small cell/large cell cancer, though this is not common.
Additional Information
To help doctors give their patients the best possible care, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) asks its medical experts to develop recommendations for specific areas of cancer care. ASCO and Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) together developed recommendations for treatment after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. This patient guide is based on their recommendations.
