small cell carcinoma
Small cell carcinoma is a type of highly malignant cancer that most commonly arises within the lung, although it can occasionally arise in other body sites, such as the cervix, prostate, and gastrointestinal tract. It is characterized by small cells that are round and appear similar under the microscope. Small cell carcinoma grows and spreads very rapidly and, compared to other types of cancer, it is more likely to spread to the brain, liver, and bone. It is strongly associated with cigarette smoking. It is also known as small cell lung cancer (SCLC) when it occurs in lungs.
