Yes, there are at least four distinct types of non small cell lung cancer adenocarcinoma, accounts for over 50 percent of all lung cancer cases in the United States, squamous cell, large cell and bronchoalveolar carcinoma the treatment is generally similar. Smokers are not only people with increased risk of getting non small cell lung cancer. Workers exposed to industrial substances such as asbestos, nickel, chromium, cadmium, uranium, radon compounds and chloromethyl ether are too.
