What are all the different kind of lung cancer?Names please?

Question:

Answers:
This is a complex question as there are so many types of cancer (lymphoma, osteosarcoma, adenosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, etc..). Their names end with "oma" meaning growth or tumor and the first word indicates the tissue (sarcoma, adenoma, lymphoma, etc). You may want to check using Google.com. For the lung, look at 1) Squamous cell carcinoma; Adenocarcinoma; Small cell carcinoma, Large cell carcinoma, Bronchogenic carcinoma, Pancoast's tumor, etc. Stop smoking if you still smoke!!
