Lung cancer has high mortality worldwide. Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) are the two types of lung cancer. Factors that determine why patients develop small cell or non-small cell cancer are unknown. The present article is a concise review of NSCLC and SCLC which describes the difference in both types of lung carcinoma based on risk factors, treatments, gender, molecular genetics, and synteny. Based on the difference in the treatment regimen, gender, molecular genetics, and chromosomal alterations; treatment plans have to be incorporated to help improve survival in patients with NSCLC and SCLC.
