Association of Lung Cancer Variants with Smoking
editHey TylerDurden8823:
Sorry to redact your statement that BAC and Carcinoids are the only variants of lung cancer not associated with smoking. Others off the top of my head include LELC, Mucoepidermoid carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma, pleuropulmonary blastomas, and some other non-carcinomatous variants.
Keep on working on the lung cancer articles, PLEASE - I need the excellent help :-)

editLung cancers are an extremely heterogeneous family of malignant neoplasms,[1] with well over 50 different histological variants recognized under the 2004 revision of the World Health Organization ("WHO-2004") typing system, currently the most widely used lung cancer classification scheme.[2] Because these variants can have widely 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.[3][4]
Approximately 98% of lung cancers are carcinoma, which are tumors composed of cells with epithelial characteristics.[5] 8 major groups of lung carcinomas are recognized in WHO-2004:[2]
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma
- Small Cell Carcinoma
- Adenocarcinoma
- Large Cell Carcinoma
- Adenosquamous Carcinoma
- Sarcomatoid Carcinoma
- Carcinoid Tumor
- Salivary Gland-like Carcinoma
