Diseases & Conditions

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for approximately 80-85% of all lung cancer cases. It originates in the epithelial cells lining the surface of the lung airways and can be further classified into three main subtypes: adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. Treatment and prognosis for NSCLC depend on the stage of the cancer, which is determined by the extent of its spread.

Neuropathic pain, or nerve pain, is a chronic condition caused by damage to the nervous system. It is characterised by shooting, stabbing, burning, or electric shock-like sensations and can be challenging to treat. Various factors, such as diabetes, shingles, multiple sclerosis, and injuries, can lead to neuropathic pain.
