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 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc. 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. Mosby items and derived items © 4 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc. 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 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc. 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 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.

Pathophysiology Poorly understood Genetic material in lung cells damaged secondary to exposure to carcinogens, i.e., those in tobacco smoke There may be a genetic predisposition. The more genetic activation of the following pathways occurs; more likely, lung cancer’s growth is Slide 11 Stimulation of cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, tumor progression, immune regulation Mosby items and derived items © 11 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc. Clinical Features Slide 12 Mosby items and derived items © 12 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc. 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 Mosby items and derived items © 13 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc. Screening and Diagnosis Slide 14 Routine chest x-ray is the most common Computed tomography (CT) scan Positron emission tomography (PET) scan View a tissue sample (biopsy) under a microscope—used for a definitive diagnosis Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc. Diagnosis (cont.) Adjunct imaging PET scan • Malignant cells are very metabolically active, take up radioactive glucose, scan reveals spots Slide 15 SPECT and contrast-enhanced CT used less often Nonsurgical tissue biopsy obtained by: Flexible bronchoscopy (FB): large airway growths • Saline washings, brushings, needle or forceps biopsy Transthoracic needle biopsy: peripheral masses • Shielded needle guided by fluoroscopy or CT Mosby items and derived items © 15 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.

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 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc. 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 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc. Symbol Definition Primary tumor (T) T0 No evidence of tumor Tx Tumor that cannot be assessed Lymph nodes (N) Nx Regional lymph nodes cannot be assessed N0 Absence of regional lymph involvement Distant metastasis (M) Mx Metastasis cannot be assessed M0 Absence of distant metastasis Table 26-2. 1997 Revised International System for Staging Lung Cancer—Excerpts. Modified from Mountain CF: Revisions in the international system for staging lung cancer, Chest 111(6):1710, 1997. Slide 19 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc. 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 Slide 20 Mosby items and derived items © 20 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc. Staging (cont.) “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 Slide 21 Mosby items and derived items © 21 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.

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. Mosby items and derived items © 24 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc. Staging (cont.) 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. Mosby items and derived items © 25 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc. 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 Mosby items and derived items © 56 Copyright © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
