Which of the following types of lung cancer is the most
prevalent carcinoma of the lung for both men and women?
a) Adenocarcinoma
Adenocarcinoma presents more peripherally as peripheral masses or
nodules and often metastasizes.
b) Large cell carcinoma
Large cell carcinoma is a fast-growing tumor that tends to arise
peripherally.
c) Squamous cell carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma is more centrally located and arises more
commonly in the segmental and subsegmental bronchi in response to
repetitive carcinogenic exposures.
d) Small cell carcinoma
Small cell carcinomas arise primarily as proximal lesions, but may
arise in any part of the tracheobronchial tree.
