What is Lung Cancer?

Lung Cancer/Lung Nodule

Lung cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the lungs grow in an uncontrolled way. The cancer may start to grow in the lungs first (primary cancer) or may spread to the lungs from a cancer somewhere else in the body (secondary cancer/metastatic cancer).

Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in Australia, with a lifetime risk of one in 13 for men and one in 21 for women.

It is often diagnosed late, once it has spread beyond the lungs, as early lung cancer may not show significant symptoms. Lung cancer is more prevalent in older individuals and is much more common among smokers, though non-smokers can also develop the disease.


Lung Cancer Types

Lung cancer is divided into two main types:

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

This accounts for approximately 85% of all lung cancers and includes subtypes such as adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell undifferentiated carcinoma.


85%

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC)

Small cell lung cancer accounts for the remaining 15% of lung cancers. It typically begins in the central part of the lungs and tends to spread more rapidly.
