Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Description

The leading killer caused by cancer among men and women alike, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of this disease, claiming more lives than breast, colon, and prostate cancer combined and accounting for 87 percent of all lung cancers. Because lung cancer has usually spread throughout the body before it is discovered, the survival rates for patients are quite poor. But, as this program points out, new therapies and advances in imaging studies that could lead to earlier detection are serving as beacons of hope for patients and their families.
