 Adenocarcinoma Carly MacKenzie Technical College High School Lung Cancer Lung cancer is “the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both lungs”. These abnormal cells do not carry out the functions of normal lung cells and do not develop into healthy lung tissue. As they grow, “the abnormal cells can form tumors and interfere with the functioning of the lung, which provides oxygen to the body via the blood”. There are two major types of lung cancer, non-small...

Lung cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. If left untreated, this growth can spread beyond the lung in a process called metastasis into nearby tissue and, eventually, into other parts of the body.

The main types of lung cancer are small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), also called oat cell cancer, and non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC)....

Cancer Cancer is a generic term for a large group of diseases that can affect any part of the body. One defining feature of cancer is the rapid creation of abnormal cells that grow beyond their usual boundaries, and which can then invade adjoining parts of the body and spread to other organs. This process is referred to as metastasis. Metastases are the major cause of death from cancer. Key facts: Cancers figure among the leading causes of death worldwide, accounting for 8.2 million deaths...

Where Cancer comes from Cancer of the lung, like all cancers, results from an abnormality in the body's basic unit of life, the cell. Tumors can also cause cancer. Tumors usually can be removed and do not spread to other parts of the body.

This process of spread is termed metastasis; the areas of...
