Answers:
There are four main types of lung cancer based on the histological appearance of the cancer cells:

1) small cell carcinoma (20% of cases)
2) large cell carcinoma (10% of cases)
3) squamous cell carcinoma (25% of cases)
4) adenocarcinoma (30% of cases)

Collectively, the latter three types are referred to as non-small cell lung cancer

Most common: bronchogenic carcinoma

Bronchogenic carcinomas are carcinomas that arise from the respiratory epithelium of the lung. They account for more than 90% of all lung tumors. There are two main subgroups: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer.
