The group makes the distinction between non-small cell lung cancer, which is used as an umbrella term for various lung cancers, and small cell lung cancer, which tends to be more aggressive and deadly. Among the nuanced takeaways that the group provide, they note that even in lung cancer that has spread, patients with certain patterns of metastasis are capable of being cured.
