Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide and the leading cause of cancer death. The majority of cases are caused by smoking. There are several types of NSCLC, including adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. Staging involves assessing the size and spread of the primary tumor and lymph node involvement. Treatment depends on the stage and includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination. Advanced or metastatic disease is generally treated with platinum-based chemotherapy, with or without other agents or palliative radiation.
