The risk for lung cancer increases with significant long-term exposure to radon, although no one knows the exact risk. An estimated 12% of lung cancer deaths are attributable to radongas, or about 21,000 lung cancer-related deaths annually in the U.S. Radon gas is the second leading cause...
While lung cancer can spread to any organ in the body, certain locations -- particularly the adrenal glands, liver, brain, and bones -- are the most common sites for lung cancer metastasis. The lung also is a very common site for metastasis from malignant tumors in other parts of the ...
The lung also is a very common site for metastasis from malignant tumors in other parts of the body. The same types of cells as the original (primary) tumor make up tumor metastases. For example, ifprostate cancerspreads via the bloodstream to the lungs, it is metastatic prostate cancerin ...

Local invasion was mostly found in squamous cell and brain metastasisin adenocarcinoma. In refrence to spinal metastasis most patients had small cell and squamous cell carcinoma. Ophthalmoplegia as a paraneoplastic syndromeis not reported in lung cancer but one of our patients developed complete ...
When there is an abnormal growth of cells in the tissues of the lungs, it results in lung cancer. As a consequence, this could lead to a condition referred to as metastasis which means the spreading of cancer, outside the lungs, to other parts of the body. When the lungs become cancer...
The three common routes of metastasis are: 1. When the tumor grows into surrounding tissue 2. When cells travel through the bloodstream to a new location 3. When cells travel through the lymphatic vessels to a new location What does cancer metastasis mean? Cancer metastasis is when cancer...
ACTN4 and the pathways associated with cell motility and adhesion contribute to the process of lung cancer metastasis to the brain Background The aim of this study was to identify critical gene pathways that are associated with lung cancer metastasis to the brain. Methods The RNA-Se... Y Gao...
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of the two major types of lung cancer. It is named because the cells appear small and round under the microscope. Facts You Should Know About Small-Cell Lung Cancer When cells of the lung start to undergo a degenerative transformation in appearance and...
Understanding Cancer: Metastasis, Stages of Cancer, and More See Slideshow What are cancer symptoms? Symptoms and signs of cancer depend on the type of cancer, where it is located, and/or where the cancer cells have spread. For example, breast cancer may present as a lump in the breast ...
