-Malignant neoplasms of the lung: a) Primary lung tumors: Lung cancers are divided into two categories based on predominant cell type: - Non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC): There are three common types of non small cell lung cancer. These are grouped together because they behave in a similar way and respond to treatment in a different way to small cell lung cancer.(58‚ 59) i) Adenocarcinoma: Now the most frequent primary lung cancer.

words‚ describe the routhes and mechanisms of the spread of lung cancer.
