SCLCancer general info

About 15% of all lung cancer cases are SCLC. Small cell lung cancer is slightly more common in men than women.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a fast-growing type of lung cancer. It spreads much more quickly than non-small cell lung cancer.
Almost all cases of SCLC are due to cigarette smoking. SCLC is very rare in people who have never smoked.

SCLC is the most aggressive form of lung cancer. It usually starts in the breathing tubes (bronchi) in the center of the chest. Although the cancer cells are small, they grow very quickly and create large tumors. These tumors often spread rapidly (metastasize) to other parts of the body, including the brain, liver, and bone.

There is no cure so far, it can not be operated/surgically removed. I can only go by statistics to determine how long i have, so i will not post my thoughts about that here.
