Difference between squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma.?

Answer:
These are different types of cancer commonly caused by tobacco smoking and located in the mouth, throat and lungs. Squamous cell is cancer located in epithelial cells of the mouth throat or lungs and adenocarcinoma is composed of cells of glandular tissue and often starts in the alveoli of the lungs. Both of these types of cancer are what is called NSCLC or non-small cell lung cancer. Both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell cancer can also be found elsewhere in the body besides the lungs but given the nature of your question it is probable that you are asking about potential lung cancer.http://www.oncologychannel.com/lungcance...http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/help/defaul...http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/t...

The definitions and explanations are extensive on both, so I'll tell you what to look up to find what you want to know regarding both:
For the Squamos Cell Carcinoma: Open the ByeDr.coms website. Go to "Cancer" and click it. In the "Search" space at the top of the column of questions, type in "Squamos Carcinoma." There is a multitude of information, as I said, on the topic.
For Adeno Carcinoma: Go to www@webmd.com. Scroll down to "Search Results." The information is in blue. Good luck!
