  1. This table was to classify the subtypes of lung cancer. Lung cancer is consisted of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). NSCLC was composed of squamous cell carcinomas, adenosquamous carcinomas, large cell carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinomas, and adenocarcinoma. Furthermore, adenocarcinoma was composed of acinar adenocarcinoma, papillary adenocarcinomas, bronchioloalveolar cell carcinomas, and mucinous carcinomas
