Non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 85% of all lung cancers. Histologically, NSCLC is divided into adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) ... and large cell carcinoma. 3, record 1, English, - non%2Dsmall%20cell%20lung%20cancer

Small cell lung cancer gets its name because the cancer cells look small and round under a microscope. With non-small cell lung cancer, the cancer cells are larger. Typically, small cell lung cancer grows faster than non-small cell lung cancer. Even so, non-small cell lung cancer is often diagnosed after the cancer has spread to other areas of your body. 4, record 1, English, - non%2Dsmall%20cell%20lung%20cancer

Traditionnellement, le cancer du poumon est divisé en deux grands groupes histologiques : (1) cancers du poumon à petites cellules (environ 15 % des cas) et (2) cancers du poumon non à petites cellules (CPNPC). Le groupe des CPNPC est à son tour subdivisé en adénocarcinomes, carcinomes épidermoïdes, carcinomes à grandes cellules, carcinomes sarcomatoïdes et carcinomes adénosquameux. 1, record 1, French, - cancer%20du%20poumon%20non%20%C3%A0%20petites%20cellules

The stand of the conventional compound microscope serves to hold the optical parts in alignment and to support the object. A sturdy base carries the rest of the instrument on an inclination joint. The body tube, with objectives on a revolving nosepiece at its lower end and either monocular or binocular eyepiece provision at its upper end, works on a rack-and-pinion coarse focusing adjustment which articulates it with the arm. 4, record 3, English, - revolving%20nosepiece
