Its up to you to disclose the microscopic secrete of the lung cancer cells you're wearing on the outside of your chest! Wikipedia has this to add~ Lung cancer is an extremely heterogeneous family of malignant neoplasms,[4] and well over 50 different histopathological variants are currently recognized under the most widely used typing system.[5] Because these variants have differing genetic, biological, and clinical properties, including response to treatment, correct classification of lung cancer cases are necessary to assure that lung cancer patients receive optimum management.[5][6][7] Approximately 98% of lung cancers are carcinoma, or tumours derived from transformed cells of epithelial lineage.[8] Currently, nearly four dozen different histopathological variants of lung carcinoma are recognized.[5] For clinical and treatment purposes, however, most oncologists tend to classify lung carcinomas into two major groups, namely small cell carcinoma (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This is done because of differing responses to treatment — NSCLC is comparatively less sensitive to chemotherapy and/or radiation, so surgery is the treatment of choice in these tumours. SCLC, in contrast, usually initially responds well to chemotherapy and/or radiation, but has usually metastasized widely by the time it is discovered, making surgery ineffective.
