Nearly half of all lung cancers are adenocarcinomas falling into various subtypes. Other common types of lung cancer include squamous cell carcinoma and small cell carcinoma. The pathogenesis and molecular biology of lung cancer has been the subject of considerable research over the last few years, and new pharmacologic therapies have been developed. The histological classification of lung adenocarcinomas has been revised in 2011, and is already becoming established in replacing the WHO classification. The aim of the new classification is to make the diagnostics of lung cancer and assessment of treatment options more precise.
几乎所有肺癌中有近一半是腺癌，可分为多种亚型。其他常见的肺癌类型包括鳞状细胞癌和小细胞癌。在过去几年中，肺癌的发病机制和分子生物学一直是大量研究的主题，并且已经开发出了新的药物疗法。肺腺癌的组织学分类在2011年进行了修订，并且已经开始逐渐取代世界卫生组织的分类。新分类的目的是使肺癌的诊断和治疗方案的评估更加精确。
