Etiology
Slide 3

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer
deaths in the United States

More than 160,000 new cases are reported
in the United States annually

About 90,000 in males

About 70,000 in females

Epidemiology
Slide 4

In 2006, there were ~175,000 new cases of lung
cancer in the United States.

Second most common type of cancer in men and
women

WHO estimates ~2 million cases of lung cancer per
year.

It is the leading cause of cancer-related death.

85–90% of patients have a smoking history.

Etiology
Slide 5

The mortality rate for lung cancer in men
recently has leveled off

In women, however, the mortality rate is still
rising—primarily because of the increased
rate of cigarette smoking among women

Among women, the lung cancer death rate is
now higher than the death rate of any other
cancer—including breast cancer

Etiology
Slide 6

Cigarette smoking is the most common cause
of lung cancer

Heavy smokers are about 25% more likely to
develop lung cancer than nonsmokers

It is estimated that cigarette smoke contains
about 4000 different chemicals—many of
which have proved to be carcinogens

Passive, or secondhand, smoking is
associated with as much as a 30% increase
in the risk of cancer

Genetic material in lung cells damaged secondary to
exposure to carcinogens, i.e., those in tobacco

Diagnosis
Slide 13

~85% of patients will be symptomatic (see Box 28-2).

Remainder detected by radiographic evaluation

Chest radiograph and CT scan initial evaluation

Will show nodules (<3 cm) and masses (>3 cm)

Other findings: enlarged lymph nodes, effusions

If radiograph, symptoms, history are very suggestive
of malignancy may move straight to surgery

If unsure if malignant or benign, further testing
indicated

Staging of Lung Cancer


Slide 17
Staging is the process of classifying
information about cancer

Cancer type

Size of the tumor

Level of lymph node involvement

The extent to which the cancer has spread
The patient’s prognosis and treatment
depend on the staging results

Staging of Lung Cancer
System most often used for staging lung cancer


Slide 18
TNM classification

T represents the extent of the primary tumor

N denotes the lymph node involvement

M indicates the extent of metastasis
Roman numerals are used to identify stages

0 being the least advanced

IV being the most advanced

Staging


The staging of NSCLC is based on the TNM staging
system (T: tumor, N: lymph node, M: metastases)
“T” component of staging (extent of primary tumor)
T1: 3 cm without invading local tissue
T2: >3 cm may invade pleura or extend into
bronchus, may cause segmental or lobar atelectasis
T3: any size extends into surrounding structures,
excluding main mediastinal structures.
T4: any size invading mediastinal structures or
presence of malignant pericardial or pleural
effusion

“N” component of staging (regional lymph node
involvement)
N0: no demonstrable involvement of nodes
N1: ipsilateral nodal involvement
N2: ipsilateral mediastinal lymph nodes
N3: contralateral mediastinal or hilar nodal
involvement, either sides involvement of
scalene or supraclavicular lymph nodes

“M” component of staging (metastases)
M0: no metastases; M1: metastases present

Staging of SCLC

Divided into two groups

Limited: cancer is confined to one hemithorax.
• Includes ipsilateral mediastinal and supraclavicular
nodes


Slide 24
Extensive: cancer has spread beyond the original
hemithorax.
As staging guides therapy, it is important to
determine the correct stage.

Slide 25
Determination of staging for all lung cancers:

CT of chest and upper abdomen is ordered for all.

MRI only superior to CT scan for a Pancoast tumor

FDG-PET best to determine staging of mediastinal nodes

FB with transbronchial needle aspiration help for mediastinal
staging

Gold standard remains surgical resection and mediastinal
dissection.

Patient performance status is important in determining
prognosis and ability to tolerate surgery.

Overview of the Cardiopulmonary
Clinical Manifestations Associated
with CANCER OF THE LUNG
The following clinical manifestations result from
the pathophysiologic mechanisms caused (or
activated) by Atelctasis (see Figure 9-7),
Alveolar Consolidation (see Figure 9-8), and
Excessive Bronchial Secretions (see Figure
9-11)—the major anatomic alterations of the
lungs associated with cancer of the lung (see
Figure 26-1).

Screening for Lung Cancer
Slide 56

Due to the high proportion of patients who present
with advanced lung cancer and its associated
mortality, screening is very attractive.

Techniques

Chest radiograph and/or sputum exam
• Studies did not support beneficial outcome.

Low-dose CT imaging
• No proof it is of any benefit
• May be useful in high-risk individuals
