Hypertension Associated with Lung Cancer (IMAGE)
Caption
Hypertension associated with lung cancer: In the diagram, a tumor is shown in the right lung. Histological comparison of two blood vessels shows dramatic thickening of the wall of the vessel removed from the tumor region. Changes in blood vessels of this nature are responsible for the pulmonary hypertension observed in lung cancer patients.
