Small cell lung cancer is a disease in which the cells of the lung tissues grow uncontrollably and form tumors.

From www.rare-cancer.org: Hippocrates is credited with being the first to recognize the difference between benign and malignant tumors. His writings describe cancers of many body sites. The swollen blood vessels around the malignant tumors so reminded him of crab claws, he called the disease karkinos (the Greek name for crab). In English this term translates to carcinos or carcinoma.

X-rays aren't in "color". They can be false colored according to any scheme desired. A tumor in the lungs, since it's more dense than the lung tissue, would be a darker gray than the rest of the lung.

i think that lung cancer can not be transmitted. because its something that it is way different than other disease. if a person has lung cancer and has relationships with someone who does not. their is no way he or she could get. kissing someone does not transmite it...unless that persons has AIDS,HIV etc. than then i do believe that it could be transmitted.
