What Histological Changes are Seen in Lung Cancer?
Lung cancer encompasses a variety of malignant tumors arising from the respiratory epithelium. Histological examination is essential for classification and diagnosis. Key histological changes include:
Adenocarcinoma: Glandular formation and mucin production. Squamous cell carcinoma: Keratinization and intercellular bridges. Small cell lung carcinoma: Small, round cells with scant cytoplasm and high mitotic rate. Large cell carcinoma: Poorly differentiated cells without specific features of other types.
