Small cell and non-small cell is the type of lung cancers. Both cancers affect the lungs but they have several key differences, including how they are treated and their average progression time.
Small cell cancer is true to its name. When viewed under a microscope, the cells of a small cell cancer appear small and round. Non-small cell lung cancer cells are larger in size.
There are several different types of non-small cell lung cancers. These include adenocarcinoma, squamous cell, and large cell carcinoma.
Symptoms
Both small cell and non-small cell lung cancers cause similar symptoms.
Examples of lung cancer symptoms include:
- appetite loss
- blood in mucus that has been coughed up
- chest pain
- cough that will not go away
- difficulty swallowing
- feeling tired for no apparent reason
- shortness of breath
- swelling, especially of the face and neck
- wheezing
According to the University of Virginia Health System, small cell lung cancer is considered the more aggressive cancer when compared to non-small cell cancer.
Small cell cancers typically grow at a faster rate. An estimated 90 percent of small cell cancer patients are diagnosed when the cancer has already spread to nearby lymph nodes or organs.
