Overview

Non-small cell lung cancer may be classified according to the WHO histological classification system into 3 main types: squamous cell carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. Other less common subtypes, include: adenosquamous lung carcinoma, pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma, carcinoid tumors of lung, and carcinomas of the lung of salivary gland type.[1]

Classification

  • There are 3 main types of non–small cell lung cancer: adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma.
  • The table below summarizes the WHO histological classification system for non small cell lung cancer.[2][3]
