There are several different types of lung cancer, depending on which cells are involved. The two main types are small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Smoking causes about 90-percent of most lung cancers. Exposure to pollution, radiation, and asbestos may also increase risk. Treatment depends on the type of cancer and how advanced it is…and consists of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. You may need one or more of these therapies.
