    Lung cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the lungs. Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. About 80% to 85% of lung cancers are Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. The main subtypes of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.
    Because lung cancer doesn’t typically cause pain or other warning signs in its early stages, many people don’t realize they have the disease. “Lung cancer is usually asymptomatic,” says Sai Yendamuri, MD, Chair of Thoracic Surgery and Director of the Thoracic Surgery Research Laboratory at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.
    Some lung cancers can cause syndromes, which are groups of specific symptoms. Cancers of the upper part of the lungs are sometimes called Pancoast tumors. These tumors are more likely to be non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) than small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
