Talk:Non-small-cell lung cancer

message: What is the source of these numbers in the article? They are considerably more optimistic than numbers on the American Cancer Society webpage for non-small cell lung cancer staging, which puts the five-year survival rate at 47 percent for Stage I and 26 percent for Stage II. 4.232.195.227 02:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Source for prognosis?

message: Jfdwolff suggested merging Lung cancer staging with EUS into this article. Respectfully, I oppose this suggestion. The article on EUS is long and detailed. About half of the text is more relevant to this article, but the latter half is more appropriately kept in its own separate article. Axl (talk) 09:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merge 

message: Ladies and Gentlemen:
Personally, I respectfully suggest that - at a minimum - comprehensive individual articles should be completed on:
*Lung cancer
*NSCLC
*SCLC
*Squamous cell lung carcinoma
*Adenocarcinoma of the lung
*Large cell lung carcinoma
*Other histological variants as recognized in the latest WHO classification of lung tumors
I have started some of these and piddled with others, and because they are in my area of interest, will probably continue working on them. Comments would be greatly appreciated.
Very best regards:

replies: text: Cliff, thanks for your suggestion. However I am concerned about the potential overlap of information in the different articles that you recommend, if indeed they are all to be comprehensive. I am opposed to the presence of this article, which already duplicates some of the info from "Lung cancer". Axl ¤ [Talk] 10:09, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Wouldn't it be better to remove the duplication from lung cancer and refer there to the articles on specific types ? Rod57 (talk) 19:42, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Re: NSCLC, SCLC, Lung Cancer (generally) 

message: This differs significantly between different regions, even within Western countries. For example, adenocarcinoma has a prevalence of just 27% in Europe (Cancer Research UK source), with squamous cell carcinoma the commonest subtype in Europe. Possibly some mention of this discrepancy in the article? I am unsure of how to phrase it, but currently it's a bit misleading. Yazza (talk) 12:31, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
