Squamous Cell Carcinoma: About 25% to 30% of all lungs cancers are this kind. They are linked to smoking and tend to be found in the middle of the lungs, near the bronchus [main air passage from the windpipe]

Adenocarcinoma: Accounts for about 40% of lung cancers. It is usually found in the outer part of the lung.

Large Cell Carcinoma: About 10%-15% of lung cancers are this type. It can start in any part of the lung. It tends to grow and spread quickly, which makes it harder to treat.
