| | Lung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The inner layer of the sac (visceral pleura) adheres tightly to the lung and the outer layer (parietal pleura) is attached to the inner wall of the thoracic cavity. | | | This is not a very efficient arrangement, but amphibians have low metabolic demands and also frequently supplement their oxygen supply by diffusion across the moist outer skin of their bodies. | | | The lungs are connected to the upper airway by the trachea and bronchi. |

| | Lung cancer |
| | As death usually results after 40 such cell divisions, it is clear that lung cancer is a disease that is usually detected late in its natural course. | | | It is important to know which type of cancer a patient has because small cell cancers respond best to chemotherapy (anti-cancer medicines) whereas the other types (often referred to collectively as non-small cell cancer) are better treated with surgery or radiotherapy (X-ray treatment). | | | However, there is no doubt that chemotherapy is effective and that it both prolongs and improves the quality of survival in small cell lung cancer. |

| | Although SCLC is less common than the other type of lung cancer, it is a more aggressive tumor that is more likely to spread to other body sites. | | | Esophagitis, inflammation of the tube that conveys food from the mouth to the stomach, is common after radiotherapy for lung cancer and can be severe. | | | Another approach to advanced lung cancer is to deliver small doses of radiotherapy each day for several weeks, or in some cases several times a day. |
