NSCLC ALK DISEASE

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) starts when the cells of the lung become abnormal and begin to grow out of control. As more cells grow, they can form into a tumour and then spreads to the other parts of the body.

There are 2 types of non-small cell lung cancer:

Non-Small Lung Cancer (NSCLC): About 80-85% of the lung cancers consists of this type.
Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC): About 10-15% cancers consist of this type.

Lung cancers typically start in the cells lining the bronchi and other parts of the lung such as the bronchioles or alveoli.

The exact causes of Non-Small Lung Cancer are not known. But some risk factors for these cancers are known and how some of these cause cells to become cancerous.

The most common cause of NSCLC is tobacco smoking. Tobacco smoking is one of the most common causes of lung cancer. About 80% of lung cancer deaths are caused by smoking.
