Illustration of a human respiratory tract with large oat cell carcinomas in both lungs. This cancer, a subtype of small-cell cancer, is most often caused by smoking or inhaling toxic substances. It is characterised by the distinctly oat-like shape of the tumour cells. They can spread throughout the body via the lymphatic (green) or vascular system. Oat cell carcinoma is very aggressive with a poor prognosis. | |
