luvmydog2 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I have a friend that was dx yesterday with Large Cell . I have NSCLC so I can't relate to large cell. Does anyone have large cell that can tell me something about it? Is it fast or slow growing. I know SCLC is fast but again I never heard of large cell.

john Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 My mom had large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. I think that large cell is like this but with the neuroendocrine features. It is a category that is used when it can not be identified as squamous or adenocarcinoma. There is also Giant cell and I believe clear cell. Giant cell has a poor prognosis http://www.vh.org/adult/provider/radiol ... inoma.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 sometimes the diagnosis is changed from Large cell to adeno or squamous. It depends on how much of a sample of the tumor was taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
