164. Lung Cancer Susceptibility And Outcomes Study Presents the work of Dr. David Christiani and his team at the Harvard School of Public Health on risk factors and treatment response. http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/lungcancer/

Why Care? What Can We Learn? Who Are We Studying? What Are Some Of Our Results? WHY CARE ABOUT LUNG CANCER? Here are the whopping statistics about lung cancer: • It will be diagnosed in over 173,000 people in the United States in 2004 • It is the number one cancer killer in both men and women, killing over 160,000 people in bg • Lung Cancer kills more people than breast, colon and prostate cancers together. • Between 80-90% of lung cancer patients have smoked in the past or are current smokers • The lifetime risk of a person who ever smoked developing lung cancer is approximately • Fewer than one in six people who are diagnosed with lung cancer will still be alive five years later. • Lung cancer is being seen more and more in people who have quit smoking. The more we learn about what leads to this terrible killer, the more we can find ways to prevent and treat this cancer. Return to Top WHAT CAN WE LEARN BY STUDYING LUNG CANCER? Led by Dr. David C. Christiani , the Harvard School of Public Health Lung Cancer Susceptibility and Outcomes Study, started recruiting patients at Massachusetts General Hospital in 1992. It has the following goals: GOAL 1: WE WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DIFFERENT RISK FACTORS FOR LUNG CANCER.

165. Canada Courageous Canary Tells the story of Heather Crowe, who has lung cancer from secondhand smoke at the restaurant where she worked. http://you-are-the-target.com/TCC.html

T C Online T o b a c c o C o n t r o l Tobacco Control 2003; BMJ Publishing Group News analysis Canada: courageous canary Georgina Lovell Vancouver, BC, Canada; ginny@you-are-the-target.com 20 March 2002—a date Heather Crowe would like to forget, but never will. A 57 year old grandmother, Heather had consulted her physician about mysterious lumps on the right side of her neck, possibly an ear infection, easily treated with antibiotics. At the follow up appointment for test results, on the above date, the news of Heather’s condition ambushed and assaulted her: locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the left upper lobe of her lung, a condition her enlarged lymph nodes, now cancerous, could no longer hide. Another word attached itself to her prognosis: inoperable. Heather’s stage 3B lung cancer offers a 15% chance of being alive five years from the date of diagnosis. Her doctors advised that without treatment she had 10 months to live. With radiation and chemotherapy she could buy some time. Three subsequent biopsies confirmed doctors’ suspicions: secondhand smoke was the causative factor of her lung tumour. Heather never smoked, nor lived with anyone who smoked, but worked for 40 years as a waitress in restaurants where smoking had been permitted. "The air in that restaurant was blue with cigarette smoke," she recalled. "We didn’t like it, but we had no idea how dangerous it was. Anyone who doesn’t think secondhand smoke kills can just ask me. I want to be the last person to die from secondhand smoke at work. I am the canary in the coal mine for the hospitality industry."

166. Lung Cancer Staging Staging lung cancer. Accuracy of mediastinal staging of nonsmall cell lung cancer.M1 evaluation. http://www.chestx-ray.com/StagingLungCa/LungCancerStaging.html

Published June 2000 Staging Lung Cancer Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer deaths in men and women. Prognosis depends on the extent of disease at the time of diagnosis. Accurate staging, assessing the extent of local and distant disease, is necessary to determine resectability and overall prognosis. Surgical resection is the only curative hope for patients with lung cancer. One goal of staging is to classify properly operable patients and avoid surgery in those with unresectable disease. The TNM (tumor, node, metastasis) system is commonly used to classify the anatomic extent of disease. The interactive table below defines the currently accepted staging system for non-small cell bronchogenic carcinoma. Current statistics on 5 year survival are also shown and examples of different stages are illustrated. Surgical options exist for patients up to Stage IIIA. In general, those with Stage IIIB and IV are considered unresectable. Accuracy of CT to detect lymph node metastases A meta-analysis of 42 studies published between 1980 and 1988 found (using a node size greater than 1.0 cm as abnormal) a pooled sensitivity of 83%, specificity of 81% and accuracy of 81%. The 20% false negative rate is largely due to microscopic metastases to normal sized lymph nodes and the 20% false positive rate is due to enlarged nodes from pre- or coexisting inflammatory disease. Larger series (see table below) have demonstrated even worse results.

172. Environmental Tobacco Smoke Focus is on lung cancer caused by secondhand smoke. http://www.meds.com/lung/smoking/environmental.html

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is the combination of two forms of smoke from burning tobacco products: Sidestream smoke, or smoke that is emitted between the puffs of a burning cigarette, pipe, or cigar, and Mainstream smoke, or the smoke that is exhaled by the smoker. When a cigarette is smoked, about one-half of the smoke generated is sidestream smoke. This form of smoke contains essentially all of the same carcinogenic (cancer-causing) and toxic agents that have been identified in the mainstream smoke inhaled by the smoker, but at greater levels. More than 4,000 individual compounds have been identified in tobacco and tobacco smoke. Among these are about 60 compounds that are carcinogens, tumor initiators (substances that can result in irreversible changes in normal cells), and tumor promoters (substances that can lead to tumor growth once cell changes begin). Some of these compounds are tar, carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, phenols, ammonia, formaldehyde, benzene, nitrosamine, and nicotine. The exposure of nonsmokers to ETS is referred to as involuntary smoking, passive smoking, and secondhand smoke. Nonsmokers who are exposed to ETS absorb nicotine and other compounds just as smokers do, and the greater the exposure to ETS, the greater the level of these harmful compounds in the body.

The government committee states categorically that passive smoking does cause lung cancer and ischaemic heart disease. Long term exposure to environmental tobacco smoke increases the risk of dying from the disease by 20-30% in non-smokers, accounting for several hundred extra deaths from lung cancer in the UK every year, says the report. Passive smoking, it says, also damages children's health and is an important cause of childhood respiratory infections and chronic lung disease. The report is the first government report on the effects of active and passive smoking on health to be published for 10 years. Its recommendations will form the basis of the government's white paper on tobacco and health to be published later this year.

Front Page World UK UK Politics ... Help Monday, June 28, 1999 Published at 17:03 GMT 18:03 UK Health Scots tobacco death toll studied The number of young smokers is increasing A major anti-smoking conference in Glasgow has been discussing Scotland's position at the top of the European lung cancer death league. Experts also focussed on the rising number of teenage smokers and the links between poverty and addiction to tobacco. Scottish government ministers have set ambitious targets to curb smoking which costs 13 thousand lives and the National Health Service £140m a year. The conference, organised by the Roy Castle Foundation, also heard how rigorous enforcement of the laws governing the sale of cigarettes to under 16-year-olds and a tougher line on smuggling tobacco would help. Teenage smoking is a concern The foundation says the outlook for lung cancer sufferers is extremely poor, with the average time from diagnosis to death being just four months and only five in every 100 cases survives longer than five years. Its Assistant Medical Director Dr Jesme Baird said: "A recent study in Scotland showed the number of 15-year-old girls smoking regularly has doubled in the last decade, which has worrying implicaitons for the future health of this generation.

by Kevin T. Kavanagh, MD www.entusa.com About The Author Española Traducción Tobacco use and smoking are very dangerous addictions which commonly cause a wide variety of diseases, cancer and death. The vast majority of tobacco users and smokers are hooked when they are children. During this time period they are easily influenced by peer pressure and advertising. Once hooked, the majority of tobacco users become hopelessly addicted. More than 5 million children living today will die prematurely because of a decision they will make as adolescents-the decision to use tobacco and smoke cigarettes.
