Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer and includes several forms, such as adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, which share a relatively slower growth than other variants.
Risk factors: smoking is the main one, although exposure to secondhand smoke, certain pollutants, and substances such as radon or asbestos also play a role.
Signs to watch for: persistent cough, coughing up blood, chest pain, weight loss, or shortness of breath with no clear cause.
Who treats it? Its management is multidisciplinary: the pulmonologist, the oncologist, the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon, the radiation therapist, and the radiation oncologist work together. With suspicious symptoms, the most sensible thing is to reach out promptly to these professionals for a proper evaluation.
