Small Cell Lung Cancer: Life
Small Cell Lung Cancer: Life Expectancy, Stage 4, and More.
What is small cell lung cancer?
The two major types of lung cancer are small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
SCLC accounts for about 13 percent of all lung cancers. It’s less common than NSCLC, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS).
However, SCLC is the more aggressive form of lung cancer. With SCLC, the cancer cells tend to grow quickly and travel to other parts of the body, or metastasize, more easily.
As a result, the condition is usually only diagnosed after the cancer has spread throughout the body, making recovery less likely. If SCLC is detected early, however, it may be treated effectively before the cancer advances.
