Is the growth of some of the cells of the layer of the trachea of the trachea faster than normal and irregularly, leading to accumulation and the occurrence of retrograde mucus and develops some in the process of removing mucus. Some cells multiply rapidly and become malignant. These cells clump and destroy normal cells and lead to mucus retention in the lungs. Cancer cells form a mass of tumors blocking the trachea.

The treatment of the tumor and the eradication of the tumor in its early stages depends on the nature of the concentration of the disease and the general condition of the disease
