Ask us What is lung cancer? Lung cancer starts in the cells of the lung. The lungs are in the chest, on either side of the heart. The right lung has 3 compartments or lobes and the left lung has 2 lobes. Air is inhaled through the nose and throat and flows past the voice box (larynx) into the windpipe (trachea). The windpipe divides into 2 tubes, the left and right bronchi, which supply air to each lung. Within the lung, the tubes get smaller and smaller (bronchioles) until they reach air sacs (alveoli). The alveoli’s job is to add oxygen to the blood and to take waste gases out. The waste gas is removed from the body as we exhale.   
There are 2 main types of lung cancer:
  • non-small cell lung cancer (the most common) small cell lung cancer
Each type is treated differently.
There are 3 types of non-small cell lung cancer:
  • adenocarcinoma squamous cell carcinoma (the most common of the non-small cell cancers) large cell undifferentiated carcinoma
Non-small cell lung cancers tend to start in the middle of the lung where the main bronchi, nerves and blood supply enter the lung.

Screening for Lung Cancer
Release Date: May 2004 Summary of Recommendations Supporting Documents
Summary of Recommendations
  • The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) concludes that the evidence is insufficient to recommend for or against screening asymptomatic persons for lung cancer with either low dose computerized tomography (LDCT), chest x-ray (CXR), sputum cytology, or a combination of these tests. Rating: I Recommendation Rationale : The USPSTF found fair evidence that screening with LDCT, CXR, or sputum cytology can detect lung cancer at an earlier stage than lung cancer would be detected in an unscreened population; however, the USPSTF found poor evidence that any screening strategy for lung cancer decreases mortality. Because of the invasive nature of diagnostic testing and the possibility of a high number of false-positive tests in certain populations, there is potential for significant harms from screening. Therefore, the USPSTF could not determine the balance between the benefits and harms of screening for lung cancer.

How often have you had the following experience? You enter an examination room and find a 60-something-year-old patient with brown-stained teeth and yellow fingers who says, "Doc, I just can't seem to keep any weight on. And another thing, when I cough in the morning, there's a little blood in my sputum." You examine the patient and find stony-hard supraclavicular adenopathy and absent breath sounds at the left lung base. You think back to the many times over the years you've advised this patient to stop smoking. You ask yourself, "What else could I have done to prevent this tragedy?" In the early years of my career, I was the medical oncologist to whom you might have referred such a person, and I would have informed the patient of various chemotherapy options that might temporarily slow the course of the lung cancer.

Chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer
When to expect a response
David E. Midthun, MD; James R. Jett, MD VOL 101 / NO 3 / MARCH 1997 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE This is the fifth of five articles on lung cancer Preview : Many patients with lung cancer have extensive, unresectable disease when the diagnosis is first made, and long-term survival rates are poor. In this article, the authors examine the use of chemotherapy for different stages and types of lung cancer and describe the successes and failures of various regimens in lengthening survival. L ung cancer remains the No. 1 cause of cancer deaths among women and men in the United States, and the 5-year survival rate is only 10% to 15%. There is need for improved methods of prevention and treatment. Surgical resection is recommended for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which includes adenocarcinoma as well as squamous-cell and large-cell types. Unfor tunately, about 75% of patients with NSCLC have advanced disease at presentation, and complete surgical resection is not possible. Resection also has not been shown to lengthen survival of patients who have small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Here we review the current role of chemotherapy for NSCLC and SCLC.
Stages IIIA and IIIB NSCLC
Knowledge of the staging groups of NSCLC is imperative to understanding the approach to treatment (1). As stated, surgery remains the cornerstone of therapy for resectable NSCLC. The latter includes (1) tumors confined to the lung with no evidence of nodal or distant metastasis (stage I) and (2) tumors that have spread only to intrapulmonary nodes, that is, the peribronchial and/or ipsilateral hilar nodes (stage II).

Team Leader: Dr. Gordon Avery Date of Completion: 1. LUNG CANCER Lung Cancer is the most common cancer experienced by males in the United Kingdom. In the 5 year period 1986-1990 there were an average of 1,606 new registrations per annum for lung cancer in men in Wales.
The annual average registration rate for 1984-1988 was 121.2 per 100,000, this being the highest registration rate for any of the regions in England and Wales. Registrations have been rising for many years but there are signs that a peak has now been reached.
The average annual number of deaths from lung cancer in males in Wales during the 5 year period 1992-1996 was 1284 and the annual average age standardised death rate for the same period was 74.2 per 100,000. The death rate in Wales is amongst the highest in the United Kingdom but it is now beginning to fall. The 5 year survival rate for lung cancer in men in Wales was less than 10% for cancers diagnosed between 1984 and 1988.
Lung cancer in women is on the increase. It is the second most common cancer (after breast) experienced by women. In the 5 year period 1986-1990 there was an average of 681 new registrations per annum for lung cancer in women in Wales.

Women and Lung Cancer BY ELLIE MCGRATH Lung cancer is catching up with more and more women. The disease, which is fatal for 86 percent of its victims within advertisement
five years of a diagnosis, is now the leading cause of cancer death among women. Yet the disease is as preventable as it is deadly: Nearly 90 percent of lung cancer cases are smoking-related. For the country's 23 million female smokers, the news keeps getting worse. Researchers are finding that the effects of tobacco seem to be far more damaging to women than to men. Last year, scientists at the University of Pittsburgh discovered that a gene that accelerates lung cancer growth is more active in females. The findings might explain why women are one and a half times more likely than men to develop lung cancer, even when they smoke fewer cigarettes over a shorter period of time.

    Lung Cancer
    The international consensus on cancer research conducted over the past decade has confirmed that second-hand smoke is a direct cause of lung cancer. The 1996 OMA position statement, Indoor Air Quality and Second Hand Smoke , notes that second-hand smoke is the third-ranking known cause of lung cancer after active smoking and indoor radon gas exposure, and that lung cancer kills more women then breast cancer, while being the leading cause of premature death for men. In 1992, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published a major assessment of the " Respiratory Health Effects of Passive Smoking " (US Environmental Protection Agency. 1992) which concluded that exposure is responsible for approximately 3,000 lung cancer deaths each year in non-smoking adults, and impairs the respiratory health of hundreds of thousands of children. The 1997 California Environmental Protection Agency report concluded that second-hand smoke is a cause of lung cancer and is responsible for 3000 deaths annually in the United States. In 1998, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) conducted the largest European study ever examining the linkage between lung cancer and passive smoke ( click here to view the study ). The study found a 16% increase in the point estimate risk of lung cancer for non-smokers. An October 1998 editorial in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (7 October 1998. 90(19): 1416-1417) concluded that the International Agency's new study data, plus previous evidence, presented "an inescapable scientific conclusion...that second-hand smoke is a low-level lung carcinogen."

Prevention Early detection Referral Diagnosis Management : Small cell cancer, Non-small cell cancer, Mesothelioma, Advanced disease Case 1: Phillip Case 2: Christine In Practice Don't miss The GP is the anchor in a sea of changing faces for the lung cancer sufferer. The physician or surgeon who becomes the patient's first treating specialist may not be involved years later when metastases appear. The radiation oncologist is not going to be in the patient's home when the mist morphine needs to be replaced by a subcutaneous infusion. The medical oncologist will not be treating the family after the patients death. The GP's role begins with patient education about lung cancer prevention, early detection and prompt and appropriate referral. The GP also provides support through the phases of specialist treatment and has an important part to play in the management of patients with advanced disease, including the in-home palliative care of the dying patient. Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in Australia. While it used to be identified as a male-dominated disease, this is changing with changes in smoking patterns. Both tobacco use and lung cancer incidence are increasing in Australian women aged 25-44 and, in one state at least, now exceed levels seen in men of the same age. The incidence of mesothelioma (other than cases related to asbestos exposure) is also increasing.

    158. Smoking Does Not Cause Lung Cancer, WHO 1999 Statistics. Editorial From The Jour
    Nonprofit peerreviewed Journal of scientifically credible theories from alldisciplines.
    http://www.journaloftheoretics.com/Editorials/Vol-1/e1-4.htm
    Journal of Theoretics Vol.1-4 Oct/Nov 1999 Editorial Smoking Does Not Cause Lung Cancer (According to WHO/CDC Data) By: James P. Siepmann, MD Yes, it is true, smoking does not cause lung cancer. It is only one of many risk factors for lung cancer. I initially was going to write an article on how the professional literature and publications misuse the language by saying "smoking causes lung cancer" , but the more that I looked into how biased the literature, professional organizations, and the media are, I modified this article to one on trying to put the relationship between smoking and cancer into perspective. (No, I did not get paid off by the tobacco companies, or anything else like that.) When the tobacco executives testified to Congress that they did not believe that smoking caused cancer, their answers were probably truthful and I agree with that statement. Now, if they were asked if smoking increases the risk of getting lung cancer, then their answer based upon current evidence should have be "yes." But even so, the risk of a smoker getting lung cancer is much less than anyone would suspect. Based upon what the media and anti-tobacco organizations say, one would think that if you smoke, you get lung cancer (a 100% correlation) or at least expect a 50+% occurrence before someone uses the word "cause." Yes a US white male (USWM) cigarette smoker has an 8% lifetime chance of dying from lung cancer but the USWM nonsmoker also has a 1% chance of dying from lung cancer (see Appendix A). In fact, the data used is biased in the way that it was collected and the actual risk for a smoker is probably less. I personally would not smoke cigarettes and take that risk, nor recommend cigarette smoking to others, but the numbers were less than I had been led to believe. I only did the data on white males because they account for the largest number of lung cancers in the US, but a similar analysis can be done for other groups using the CDC data.
