A canal is a man-made waterway. Canals are built for a variety of uses including irrigation, land drainage, urban water supply, hydroelectric power generation, and transportation of cargo and people. Navigation canals may be shallow facilities designed for barge traffic, or they may be deep enough to accommodate ocean-going ships.
The majority of small cell lung cancer cases are oat cell type. Although the cancer cells are smaller in size compared to non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC), which make up 85 to 90 percent of all lung cancers, SCLC grows quickly and produces large tumors.
If the cancer has spread to a distant part of the body (stage IV), which is its latest stage, the five-year survival rate is 4%. Lung cancer makes up 13% of all cancer diagnoses and 27% of all cancer deaths.SCLC is the most common type of lung cancer. Statistics for lung cancer include both small cell and non-small cell lung cancer. This year, an estimated 221,200 adults (115,610 men and 105,590 women) in the United States will be diagnosed with lung cancer.
