These symptoms may be caused by cancer or other conditions. It is important to consult a doctor.

Non-small cell lung Cancer Treatment
Patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer can be treated in several ways. The choice of treatment depends mainly on the size, location and grade of tumor. Surgery is the most common way to treat this type of lung cancer. Cryosurgery, a treatment that freezes and destroys cancer tissue, can be used to control symptoms in stages (stages) of lung cancer last non-small cell. Radiation and chemotherapy can also be used to slow the progression of the disease and to control symptoms.

Small Cell Lung Cancer Treatment
Lung cancer small cell spreads quickly. In many cases, cancer cells have already spread to other parts of the body when diagnosed. To reach cancer cells throughout the body, doctors almost always use chemotherapy. Treatment may also include radiation therapy to the tumor in the lung or tumors in other parts of the body (as in the brain). Some patients receive radiation therapy to the brain even when cancer is not there. This treatment, called prophylactic cranial irradiation was given to prevent tumors from forming in the brain. Surgery is part of the treatment plan for a small number of patients with lung cancer small cell.

Furthermore, the lung is a very frequent metastasis. But these are not true tumors of the lung, but plantings of cancers of other organs, such as the breast or intestine.

Small Lung Cancer Cell (microcytic)
It is named after the cell size view microscope. It is almost invariably associated with smoking and it is estimated that about 20% of all cancers are small cell. They multiply rapidly and can form large tumors, plus their ability to spread to other organs is increased. The small cell is almost always a very aggressive tumor.

Metastases tend to affect the following organs: lymph nodes, bone, brain, adrenal glands and liver. The primary tumor usually originates near the bronchi and spreads into the center of the lungs.

Non-small Lung Cancer Cell
This cancer accounts for almost 80% of all lung cancers. It spreads more slowly than small cell and occasionally may occur in nonsmokers.

There are several varieties of cancer non-small cell lung cancer. The two most common are squamous cell carcinoma or squamous cell and adenocarcinoma. The first is the most common and, as the small cell, usually arises from the deep lung, in the center of the chest. Adenocarcinoma is more rare and usually the type of lung tumor suffered by nonsmokers. It tends to arise from the more peripheral parts of the lung, close to the chest wall.
