Epidemiology





In 2010, there were ~222,520 new cases of
lung cancer (bronchogenic carcinoma) in
United States
Second most common type of cancer in men
& women
WHO estimates ~2 million cases of lung
cancer/year
Leading cause of cancer-related death
85–90% of patients have smoking history

Lung Cancer Classification


Classified as small cell (oat cell) or non–small
cell carcinoma
Non–small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC)
consists of:

Adenocarcinoma: most common type, ~40% of all
lung cancers in United States
 Squamous cell carcinoma: 2nd most common type
 Large cell carcinoma: rarest form of lung cancer

Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC): ~20% of
U.S. cases
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Pathophysiology




Complex & poorly understood
Genetic material in lung cells damaged
secondary to exposure to carcinogens, i.e.,
those in tobacco smoke
There may be genetic predisposition
Genes influenced produce proteins involved
in cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis,
angiogenesis, tumor progression, & immune
regulation

If enough of these pathways have been affected,
lung cancer will occur
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Diagnosis


~85% of patients will be symptomatic (see
Box 28-2)
Remainder detected by radiographic
evaluation



Chest radiograph & CT scan used as initial
evaluation
Will show nodules (<3 cm) & masses (>3 cm)
Other findings: enlarged lymph nodes or pleural
effusions
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
15
Diagnosis (cont.)



May proceed directly to surgery if radiograph,
symptoms, & history are suggestive of malignancy
If unsure, further testing is indicated
Adjunct imaging

Positron emission tomography (PET)
• Malignant cells are metabolically very active & take up
radioactive glucose
• Scan reveals spots of attached radioactive tracer trapped in
cells
• Sensitivity of 97% & specificity of 78%

Single-photon emission computed tomography
(SPECT) & contrast-enhanced CT used less often
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
16
Diagnosis (cont.)

Nonsurgical tissue biopsy obtained by:

Flexible bronchoscopy (FB):
• High diagnostic yield for lesions that are endoscopically
visible within large airways
• Samples taken using saline washings, brush through
camera, & needle or forceps

Transthoracic needle biopsy:
• Aspirating needle guided by fluoroscopy or CT to obtain
samples of peripheral lesions
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
17
Staging

NSCLC staging is based on TNM staging
system

“T” component of staging (extent of primary tumor)
• T1: 3 cm confined to lung & cannot extend into main
bronchus (T1a: <2 cm & T1b: 2-3 cm)
• T2: >3 cm may invade pleura or extend into bronchus,
may cause segmental or lobar atelectasis (T2a: 3-5 cm &
T2b: 5-7 cm)
• T3: ≥ 7 cm any size extending into surrounding
structures, excluding main mediastinal structures
• T4: any size invading mediastinal structures or presence
of malignant pericardial or pleural effusion
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

a tumor found in the main bronchus that is 4 cm in
diameter?

19
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
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Staging of NSCLC

21
Staging (cont.)

Staging of SCLC

Divided into two groups
• Limited: cancer is confined to one hemithorax.

Includes ipsilateral mediastinal & supraclavicular nodes
• Extensive: cancer has spread beyond original
hemithorax

Since staging guides therapy, it is important to
determine correct stage
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
22
Staging (cont.)

Determination of staging for all lung cancers:






CT of chest & upper abdomen is ordered for all
MRI only superior to CT scan for 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 &
mediastinal dissection
Patient performance status is important in
determining prognosis & ability to tolerate surgery
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
23
Screening for Lung Cancer


Due to high proportion of patients who
present with advanced lung cancer & 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
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
24
Treatment & Outcomes
NON–SMALL CELL

STAGES IA, IB, IIA, IIB
• Surgical resection is the standard of care if patient deemed able to tolerate
• Limited resection if patient is unable to tolerate larger resection.
• Radiotherapy, particularly stereotactic body radiotherapy in N0 disease, if patient is unable to tolerate or chooses
not to undergo resection.
• Adjuvant radiotherapy is possibly of use if incomplete resection has occurred.
• Adjuvant chemotherapy in those with stage II disease who can tolerate it. Consider in stage IB.

STAGE IIIA
• Concurrent chemoradiotherapy using a platinum-based regimen if performance status is reasonable.
• Induction chemoradiotherapy followed by resection and adjuvant chemotherapy in selected patients, ideally as
part of a study protocol.

STAGE IIIB
• Concurrent chemoradiotherapy using a platinum-based regimen if performance status is reasonable.
• Induction chemoradiotherapy followed by resection in highly selected patients, only as part of a study protocol.

STAGE IV
• Platinum-based chemotherapy regimen in patients with adequate performance status.
• Targeted therapies (EGFR and VEGF inhibitors) in appropriate subgroups.

SMALL CELL

LIMITED STAGE
• Combination chemotherapy with concurrent hyperfractionated radiotherapy if performance status is adequate.
• Prophylactic cranial radiation for those with a complete response to chemoradiotherapy.

EXTENSIVE STAGE
• Combination chemotherapy if performance status is adequate.
