In this slide we can see several stages of cancer development, from hyperplasia to metaplasia to dysplasia to cancer. Squamous cell lung cancer can metastasize into pericardium, mediastinum, aorta and even the heart.[[File:Squamous carcinoma of lung part 2.png|thumb|From part 2. Shows goblet cell and basal cell hyperplasia. Basal cells are the cells that are in contact with the basement membrane.|left]]
