Does anyone know which one is the most common? One card says "Small cell" while another card says Epidermoid. Thanks.

epidermoid (AKA squamous cell) is more common. Small cell (AKA oat cell) is pretty rare. Me thinks.

Thanks. One card says 35% vs. 25% (Epidermoid vs. Small Cell), but the other one just states "Small cell is the most common". I guess I'll stick with the percentile one. How did you do on your Part I?

hmm... i could be wrong on this. Honestly, I learn and forget. I did get a 91 on the micro/path section though. 😳

The usual trend is "the worst it is, the less likely it is to occur." IIRC oat cell (small cell) is worse than squamous.

well,, I think we have to listen to what "Kaplan review book says", right?! I think it is the most reliable referece for us

small cell is definitely rare

Epidermoid is most common but small cell is most aggressive ( bronchiogenic tumors)
The Same way
basal cell is most common but malignant melanoma is most aggressive ( skin tumors)
