Cancer cells often release small amounts of chemicals that can cause other healthy cells to grow out of control and form a mass, or tumor. These cancer cells may also float away from the lung tissue and enter the bloodstream or lymphatic vessels, where they can be carried to other parts of the body.
Cancer develops when cells in the body start growing out of control. These cells can then form tumors, which may spread to other parts of the body if left untreated. Lung cancer starts in the lungs and is one of the two main types of cancer that affect people.
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can also happen in other parts of the chest and throat and it can cause trouble in breathing

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is usually caused by smoking, it can also happen to non-smokers.
Large cell carcinoma is called NSCLC-NOS or undifferentiated carcinoma. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) forms in cells that line the lungs and make mucus. It grows quickly and may spread to other parts of the body.
Symptoms of NSCLC depend on the type of cancer and how far it has grown. Adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma are three main types of NSCLC.
According to Coherent Market Insights, Global Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treatment Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 24,910.7 million in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period (2022-2030).
NSCLC that has spread to other parts of the body is called metastatic lung cancer. Symptoms of metastatic lung cancer depend on what part of the body it has spread to. Bone pain, blood, shortness of breath and coughing up are common symptoms. Other signs and symptoms include weight loss, clubbing of the fingers, high calcium levels in the blood, or a swollen abdomen.
Cancer is diagnosed when doctors examine a sample of lung tissue under a microscope. They can also find out if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. This information helps doctors decide which treatment to use.
Doctors divide NSCLC into several types based on how the cells look under a microscope. They include squamous cell carcinoma, which starts in flat cells that line the airways of the lungs; adenocarcinoma, which begins in mucus-producing cells in the lungs; and large cell carcinoma, which can start in any part of the lung.
NSCLC usually occurs in the lungs. Other signs include weight loss for no reason and swelling of the face or veins in the neck. For NSCLC that hasn’t spread, treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or immunotherapy. Other options may be available through clinical trials.
These cancers begin in the epithelial cells that line the lungs and grow out of control. The cells can shed cancerous cells that may spread to other parts of the lungs or to other organs in the body. This is called metastasis.
X-rays and blood tests can help the doctor find out how far the cancer has grown. The process of finding out how far the cancer has grown is called staging. The information gathered from these tests helps the doctor decide what treatment is needed.
A biopsy can determine the type of non-small cell lung cancer. A doctor may also order other laboratory tests to learn more about the cancer and how it responds to treatments. These are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups. These tests can show how well the treatment is working or whether the cancer has recurred.
