It is grouped together with other small cell cancers that arise in other parts of the body, like the lung, the thyroid, the pancreas or the prostate.
Most small cell lung cancers have absent or abnormal RB protein.
Non-small-cell lung cancer usually spreads to other parts of the body more slowly than small-cell lung cancer.

Small-cell lung cancer is an example of a hormone secreting tumours, which may produce adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), in amounts sufficient to cause Cushing's syndrome.
Non small cell lung cancers (the largest type of lung cancer) are classified from stage 1 to stage 4.
Clinical trials are going on in most parts of the country for most stages of small cell lung cancer.

Agent is able to detect protein found on the surface of most small cell lung cancers and is used as a diagnostic tool on patients who have biopsy-confirmed tumors.
There are two kinds of lung cancer based on how the cells look under a microscope: small cell and non-small cell.
It was said that the two remaining trials, for non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer, would determine whether studies would continue.

Small cell lung cancer is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the tissues of the lungs.
Chemotherapy is highly effective with small cell lung cancers promptly diagnosed, since this type of cancer rapidly divides.
The non-small-cell composes the majority of the lung cancers and is subdivided into several types based on the pathology and they are treated in the same fashion.
