4
Clubbing of the fingers is a common condition which may indicate cancers, liver diseases and lung disease (16) www.assignmentpoint.com

24
Expansion of finger ends- associated with chronic breathing and heart problems (40) www.assignmentpoint.com
25
Cancer of oesophagus- this is where the oesophagus meets the stomach (41) www.assignmentpoint.com
26
Cancer of the kidney- the cancer growth is the white tissue (42) www.assignmentpoint.com
27
Cervical cancer - the nucleus of this pink cell should be round- instead it is mis-shapen and is an early sign of cancer of the cervix (43) www.assignmentpoint.com
28

29
Cancer of the pancreas (45) www.assignmentpoint.com
30
