   Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or non-small-cell lung carcinoma, is any type of epithelial lung cancer other than small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). NSCLC accounts for about 85% of all lung cancers. [1][2][3] As a class, NSCLCs are relatively insensitive to chemotherapy, compared to small-cell carcinoma.
