  1. oat cell carcinoma

    Oat cell carcinoma, also known as small cell lung cancer, is a type of highly malignant cancer that most commonly arises in the lung, though it can occasionally occur in other body parts such as the cervix, prostate, and gastrointestinal tract. The name "oat cell" comes from the small, round, oval shape of the cancer cells under a microscope, which are similar to the shape of oat grains. This type of cancer is strongly associated with cigarette smoking and often spreads to other parts of the body at an early stage.
