Subject field(s)
  • Cancers and Oncology
  • The Lungs
CONT

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.

CONT

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.

Key term(s)
  • non-small-cell lung cancer

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cancers et oncologie
  • Poumons
CONT

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.

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Optical Instruments
CONT

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.

DEF

Pièce tournante des microscopes optiques, permettant de placer successivement dans l'axe optique des objectifs de grossissements différents.

La partie mécanique d'un microscope (statif et organes accessoires) doit constituer [...] un ensemble très solide [...] Elle comporte, sous sa forme «ancienne», un tube métallique, généralement vertical. Les objectifs sont fixés à la partie inférieure, les oculaires se posent à la partie supérieure. La substitution d'un objectif à un autre s'obtient par l'emploi d'une tourelle à revolver.
