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 the lung, and carcinomas of the lung of salivary gland type.
