A 55-year-old patient presents with chronic cough. In addition to the cough, the patient has gained weight recently with development of a “buffalo hump” and Cushingoid features. A chest x-ray film demonstrates a mass involving the central area of the chest. Bronchoscopy is performed, and it proves possible to biopsy the tumor during the procedure. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
(A) Adenocarcinoma
(B) Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma
(C) Large cell carcinoma
(D) Small cell carcinoma
(E) Squamous cell carcinoma
