A Waitress with lung cancer who seeks to protect others by Elaine O'Connor / The Ottawa Citizen Excerpted from: Ottawa (Ont) Citizen (2002-08-22) via tobacco.org Ottawa waitress Heather Cross has lung cancer caused by secondhand smoke inhaled as a long-time waitress. For 40 years, Ottawa waitress Heather Cross served her customers the daily special with a smile and a laugh. In return, her customers gave her generous tips, good conversation and lung cancer. Ms. Cross, a life-long non-smoker, worked 12-hour days over four decades in hazy smoke-filled restaurants in Ottawa and Toronto, long before those cities' enacted smokefree workplace laws. The 57-year-old has run plates back and forth in Moe's World Famous Newport Restaurant on Richmond Road for almost 15 years without a second thought. Until, on Aug. 1, she was diagnosed with advanced, inoperable lung cancer. A checkup in March led to the discovery that a large, deadly tumour had lodged in her left lung. Shortly afterwards, Ms. Cross launched a case to get workers compensation for what her doctors say is clearly a work-related injury. She hopes her claim, now with the Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, will lead to a provincial re-evaluation of workplace safety regulations to grant others in the restaurant industry greater protection.

It is considered the most rapidly increasing cause of death from cancer. Since 1987, lung cancer has been the leading cause of cancer death in women, surpassing breast cancer. And while lung cancer incidence has leveled off among men, it continues to rise steadily among women. The average age of patients with lung cancer is 60 years. It is more common in African-Americans and Hawaiians. Causes Cigarette smoking is the number one cause of this disease. Even passive inhalation of the smoke increases the chance of developing this illness. Radon exposure is another cause of lung cancer, killing 14,000 Americans every year. Asbestos exposure also increases Lung cancer risk. The risk becomes astronomical in exposed individuals who also smoke. Signs and Symptoms Patients do not manifest any signs in the very early stages. Cough, shortness of breath, chest pain or blood in the sputum are among the early warning signs. Other signs of this illness could be a change of voice, hoarseness, weakness, fatigue, and weight loss.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a heterogeneous aggregate of histologies. The most common histologies are epidermoid or squamous carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. These histologies are often classified together because approaches to diagnosis, staging, prognosis, and treatment are similar. Patients with resectable disease may be cured by surgery or surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy. Local control can be achieved with radiation therapy in a large number of patients with unresectable disease, but cure is seen only in a small number of patients. Patients with locally advanced, unresectable disease may have long-term survival with radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy. Patients with advanced metastatic disease may achieve improved survival and palliation of symptoms with chemotherapy. At diagnosis, patients with NSCLC can be divided into 3 groups that reflect both the extent of the disease and the treatment approach. The first group of patients has tumors that are surgically resectable (generally stage I, stage II, and selected stage III patients). This group has the best prognosis, which depends on a variety of tumor and host factors. Patients with resectable disease who have medical contraindications to surgery are candidates for curative radiation therapy. Adjuvant cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy may provide a survival advantage to patients with resected stage IB, stage II, or stage IIIA NSCLC.

Without treatment, small cell carcinoma of the lung has the most aggressive clinical course of any type of pulmonary tumor, with median survival from diagnosis of only 2 to 4 months. Compared with other cell types of lung cancer, small cell carcinoma has a greater tendency to be widely disseminated by the time of diagnosis but is much more responsive to chemotherapy and irradiation. Because patients with small cell lung cancer tend to develop distant metastases, localized forms of treatment, such as surgical resection or radiation therapy, rarely produce long-term survival. [ ] With incorporation of current chemotherapy regimens into the treatment program, however, survival is unequivocally prolonged, with at least a 4- to 5-fold improvement in median survival compared with patients who are given no therapy. Furthermore, about 10% of the total population of patients remains free of disease over 2 years from the start of therapy, the time period during which most relapses occur. However, even these patients are at risk of dying from lung cancer (both small and non-small cell types). [

In 1998, more than 160,000 lung cancer deaths were expected, outnumbering deaths from breast, prostate and colon cancers combined. Today, the rate of lung cancer is dropping among white men in the United States, but it continues to increase in African-American men and in both white and African-American women. precancerous changes.

How effective is treatment for inoperable lung cancer? Treatment options overview Surgery is the primary treatment for patients with early-stage cancer who are in good general health. The goal of surgery is to totally eliminate all the tumor cells and thereby provide a cure. Even if a tumor recurs after an attempt to remove it, the recurrent tumor often can be removed in a second operation. Surgery is a possibility even if there are multiple tumors, or

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer December 2001 WHAT IS LUNG CANCER? The Lungs The lungs are two spongy organs surrounded by a thin moist membrane called the pleura . Each lung is composed of smooth, shiny lobes: the right lung has three lobes and the left has two. About 90% of the lung is filled with air; only 10% is solid tissue. Air is carried from the trachea (the windpipe) into the lung through flexible airways called bronchi Like the branches of a tree, bronchi divide successively into over a million smaller airways called bronchioles The bronchioles lead to grape-like clusters of microscopic sacs called alveoli In each adult lung, there are about 300 million of these tiny alveoli, which are composed of a thin membrane through which oxygen and carbon dioxide pass to and from capillaries Capillaries, the smallest of our blood vessels, carry blood throughout the body. Lung Cancer Lung cancer develops when genetic mutations occur in a normal cell within the lung, causing it to become abnormal in shape and behavior and to reproduce ceaselessly. Such abnormal cells form a tumor that, if not surgically removed, invades neighboring blood vessels and lymph nodes and spreads to nearby sites. Eventually, the cancer can metastasize to locations throughout the body. The two major categories of lung cancer are non-small cell lung cancer and s mall cell lung cancer . Less common cancers of the lung are known as carcinoids cylindromas , and certain sarcomas (cancer in soft tissues). Some experts believe that all primary lung cancers originate from a single common malignant so-called
