Non-small cell lung cancer is the more common of the two general types of lung cancer. This section of the eMedTV library discusses the specific forms of the non-small cell type and provides information about tests used to diagnose the disease.
Staging of non-small cell lung cancer is performed to learn if the cancer has spread within the chest or elsewhere in the body. This eMedTV resource explains the tests used in the staging of non-small cell lung cancer, such as a bone marrow biopsy or MRI.
Non-small cell lung cancer stages are measurements of how far the cancer has spread. This segment of the eMedTV website describes each of the non-small cell lung cancer stages -- occult, stage 0, stages I-IV, and recurrent cancer.
Non-small cell lung cancer treatment may involve surgery in the early stages of the disease. This eMedTV article looks at non-small lung cell cancer treatment options, such as chemotherapy, as well as treatments being studied in clinical trials.
Treatment options for non-small cell lung cancer vary depending on the stage of the disease. This eMedTV page breaks down options for non-small cell lung cancer treatment by stage of the disease, from the occult stage to recurrent cancers.
