NSCLC
Non-small-cell lung carcinoma is any type of epithelial lung cancer other than small-cell lung carcinoma. NSCLC accounts for about 85% of all lung cancers. As a class, NSCLCs are relatively insensitive to chemotherapy, compared to small-cell carcinoma. When possible, they are primarily treated by surgical resection with curative intent, although chemotherapy has been used increasingly both preoperatively and postoperatively.
