Lung cancer is an abnormal growth of cancerous cells that forms a mass (malignant tumour) in a lung. There are several types of lung cancer. The types are based on the appearance of the tumour cells. The two most common types are:

  • Non-small cell lung cancer. This type of lung cancer is the most common type. Non-small cell lung cancers include squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.
