Dr. Sanderson discusses small cell lunge cancer.

Dr. Sanderson:
Lung cancer generally is looked at by its pathologic appearance and we classify it into small cell lung caner and no-small cell lung cancer. Within the group of non-small cell cancer there are further subdivisions into adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma, but generally we talk about small cell and non-small cell carcinoma and they behave differently and they are treated differently.
