 Large cell carcinoma: a kind of lung cancer, the cells are large and look abnormal. 

 Small cell lung cancer: is a small and round cell component of lung cancer, also called oat cell lung cancer. 

 Slice: 1 tissue samples taken, with a microscope to check for cancer cells. 

 Excision: is a surgery to remove part of the organ. 

 Chemical treatment: the use of anti-cancer drug treatment. 

 Bronchitis: bronchial inflammation (redness and swelling). 

 Bronchoscopy: a flexible and Youguang Inspection tools can be used to check such as the trachea and bronchial passage of air into the lungs. 

 Bronchoscopy: A doctor can have the light source through a tube to check the examination of respiratory tract. 

 Asbestos: A mineral in nature, posed by the small fibers, if inhaled the lungs of people will be deposited in the lungs, easily lead to cancer.

 Whole lung resection: a to the side of lung resection surgery. 

 Cryosurgery: use of a device which can be frozen and could destroy the abnormal tissue therapy. 

 Benign: Not cancer; will not disrupt neighboring organizations or rapid spread to other parts of the body. 

 Respiratory: and respiratory-related organs, including the nose, throat, pharynx, trachea, bronchus and lung. 

 Radiation Therapy: is a use of high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells may come from radiation treatment in vitro (in vitro radiation therapy) or directly placed in the body of radioactive substances Cancer Agency (implantable radiation therapy). 

 Pneumonia: a secretion and cell aggregation in the lungs caused by infection. 

 Lobectomy: lobe resection. 

 Non-small cell lung cancer: mainly by long-term exposure to smoke in the smoking environment and exposure to radon in the environment caused by a lung cancer, non-small cell carcinoma depending on cell types can be divided into squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma. 

 Carcinogen: Any substance may cause cancer. 

 Radon: A soil or rock can be found by the uranium released from the radioactive gas radon When we breathe too much, it may damage lung cells and cause cancer. 

 Magnetic resonance imaging (image): are the changes in magnetic connection with the computer system of a detailed picture inside the body. 

 Pathology expert: under the microscope study of cell and tissue to identify disease physicians. 

 Pleural puncture: needle extraction of pleural effusion treatment. 

 Thoracotomy: a surgical incision of the chest. 

 Side effect: refers to the treatment of the impact of health problems, the general common side effects of cancer treatment have fatigue, nausea, vomiting, reduced blood, hair and oral ulcers.

 Organization: to perform a specific function in a group or layer of cells. 

 Falciparum: are cancer; infringe and rapid destruction of adjacent tissues or spread to other parts of the body. 

 Sputum: one from the lungs of mucus. 

 Cancer: from excessive cell division resulting from abnormal tissue masses, tumors usually do not have a special function, may be benign and it may be malignant. 

 Adenocarcinoma: in vivo from an epithelial organ. 

 Leaf: is used to denote the part of the liver, lung, breast or brain. 

 CT scan: the computer and the X-ray machine connected to the body can be shown a series of detailed images, but also called computer tomography. 

 Preventive cranial radiation therapy: a preventive cancer cells are spread to the head brain radiotherapy. 

 Catheter: a tube placed in the blood vessels, can provide drugs or nutrients to give the channel. 

 Oat cell carcinoma: cell types under the microscope looks like oatmeal as a lung, usually also known as small cell lung cancer. 

 Radiation: the radiation is released. 

 Intravenous injection: injected into the vein. 

 Mediastinal:located in between, including the heart, aorta and veins, trachea, esophagus, bronchi, lymph nodes and other organs. 

 Mediastinal sphincterotomy: a doctor's sternum in the chest next to make a small incision, insert a screen test to check inside the chest cavity the central parts of the mediastinal organs. 

 Mediastinal microscope: doctors in the chest above the sternum, make a small incision, insert a screen test to check inside the chest cavity the central parts of the mediastinal organs. 

 Clinical trials: is patient-oriented research projects. Each program is designed to find better ways to prevent, detect, diagnosis or treatment of cancer, to solve scientific problems. 

 Transfer: refers to cancer cells from the proliferation of this part of the body to another part of the transfer of the original tumor cells and tumor cells are the same. 

 Epidermoid carcinoma: belong to a kind of lung cancer, squamous cell type, looks like fish, so also known as squamous cell carcinoma. 

 Squamous cell carcinoma: squamous cells from the cancer, cell types of thin and flat, similar to ichthyosis. Squamous cell skin surface usually constitute
