High-Yield Explanation
NSCLC is divided fuher into adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and large cell carcinoma histologies. Adenocarcinoma, arising from the bronchial mucosal glands, is the most frequent non-small cell lung cancer, representing 35-40% of all lung cancers. It usually occurs in a peripheral location within the lung. Adenocarcinoma is the most common histologic subtype, and may manifest as a "scar carcinoma". This is the subtype observed most commonly in persons who do not smoke. This type may manifest as multifocal tumors in a bronchoalveolar form.
