Clinical and morphological case of lung cancer with generalized metastases to the internal organs

Lung cancer has occupied a leading position in the structure of cancer morbidity and mortality throughout the world for many years. Lifetime diagnosis is often difficult due to the absence of any defining signs of cancer, and it is quite difficult to track the first signs of lung cancer. This is jus...
