Metastatic lung cancer, micrograph
Metastatic lung cancer. Light micrograph of blood cells in a case of metastatic (secondary) medullary lung cancer. Medullary cancer (carcinoma) is a rare form of cancer that is diagnosed by the presence of certain types of white blood cell (pink) in and around the tumour. Also present are red blood cells (orange)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of metastatic lung cancer at a microscopic level. The image reveals a multitude of blood cells within a case of secondary medullary lung cancer, an uncommon and malignant form of the disease. By examining this light micrograph, medical professionals can identify specific types of white blood cells that surround the tumor, aiding in its diagnosis. The vibrant pink hue represents these distinctive white blood cells, while orange hues depict red blood cells present in the sample. This visual representation offers valuable insights into the biology and pathology behind this disorder, shedding light on its impact on our circulatory and immune systems. As we delve into this histopathological view, it becomes evident how abnormal and unhealthy cellular growth manifests as cancerous lesions within our bodies. Oncologists and hematologists utilize such images to deepen their understanding of metastasis – the spread of cancer from one part of the body to another. While exploring this mesmerizing print by Science Photo Library, we are reminded not only of the complexity inherent in diseases like medullary lung carcinoma but also how advancements in cell biology continue to shape our knowledge in oncology and immunology fields.
