CONTENT
 Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths
worldwide, accounting for the highest mortality rates among
both men and women.
 Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, responsible for
approximately 85% of all cases.
 Screening high risk individuals has the potential to allow early
detection and to dramatically improve survival rates.
 Primary prevention (such as tobacco control measures and
reducing exposure to environmental risk factors) can reduce
the incidence of lung cancer and save lives.
WHO KEY FACTS
Cancer cells grow and divide at an abnormally rapid
rate, are poorly differentiated, and have abnormal
membranes, cytoskeletal proteins, and morphology.
The abnormality in cells can be progressive with a slow
transition from normal cells to benign tumors to
malignant tumors.

TNM CLASSIFICATION OF CANCER
TNM Classification system is used to determine the
anatomic extent of the disease involvement according
to three parameters:
T : Tumor size and invasiveness
N : Presence or absence of regional spread to the
lymph nodes
M : Metastasis to distant organ sites
WARNING SIGN
OF CANCER
Lung cancer is a type of cancer
that starts when abnormal
cells grow in an uncontrolled
way in the lungs. It is a serious
health issue that can cause
severe harm and death.
DEFINITION
 Lung cancer is the leading cause of global cancer incidence and
mortality, accounting for an estimated 2 million diagnoses and
1.8 million deaths.
 Lung cancer is higher in female then in males due to smoking.
 In India, lung cancer accounts for 5.9% of all cancers and 8.1%
of all cancer-related deaths.
 National cancer control program was launched in India: 1975
revised on 1984-85 under the Ministry and Family welfare India.
EPIDEMIOLOGY
 Cigarette smoking
 Genetic predisposition
 Old age people above 50 years
 Inhalation of asbestosis, pollutants
 Occupational exposure to toxins
 Air pollution
 Previous exposure to radiation
 Idiopathic
Etiology
TYPES
Non-small cell lung cancer
(NSCLC)
 NSCLC is the more common type
of lung cancer, comprising of
approximately 80% of lung
cancers.
 It is less aggressive than SCLC. If
discovered early, surgery and/or
radiation therapy, chemotherapy
may offer a chance of cure.
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC)
 SCLC is fast-growing and rapidly
spreads through the bloodstream
and lymphatics to other parts of
the body. It is often advanced at
diagnosis.
 It is usually treated with
chemotherapy alone or in
combination with radiotherapy.
STAGES
Stage
s
Characteristics
I TUMOR IS SMALL AND LOCALISED TO LUNGS. NO LYMPH NODES
INVOLVEMENT
A
B
Tumor is less than 3 cm
Tumor 3-5 cm and invading surrounding local areas
II INCREASED TUMOR SIZE, SOME LYMPH NODE INVOLVEMENT
A
B
Tumor 3-5 cm with invasion of lymph nodes on same side of chest or tumor
5-7 cm without lymph node involvement
Tumor 5-7 cm involving the bronchus and lymph odes on same side of chest
and tissue of other local organs or tumor less then 7 cm without lymph
node involvement.
III INCREASE SPREAD OF TUMOR
A
B
Tumor spread to the nearby structures (chest wall, pleura or pericardial)
and regional lymph nodes.
Extensive Tumor involving heart, trachea, esophagus, mediastinum
Due to etiological
factors
Tumor arises
from mutated
epithelial cells
Cell grows slowly
about 8-10 years to
reach 1 cm
Smallest lesion
detectable on x-
ray
Cancer can be
visualize in
segmental
bronchi
Metastasis
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
 Persistent cough
 Sputum streaked with blood
 Hemoptysis
 Chest, shoulder, arm and back pain
 Dysnoea
 Unexplained weight loss
CLINICAL MANIFESTATION
1. Smokers who are currently smoking
2. Nonsmokers who formally smoked
3. Never smokers
Assessment of the risk of lung cancer is now
devided into 3 categories
 Total exposure to tobacco smoke
 Measured by total number of cigarettes smoked in
lifetime
 Age of smoking onset
 Depth of inhalation
 Tar and nicotine content
RISK FOR DEVELOPING LUNG CANCER
Physical examination and health history: An exam of
the body to check general signs of health, including
checking for signs of disease, such as lumps or anything
else that seems unusual.
A history of the patient’s health habits, including
smoking, and past jobs, illnesses, and treatments will
also be taken.
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION
 CHEST X-RAY
 CT SCAN MRI
 SPUTUM CYTOLOGY
 THORACENTESIS
 PFT
 BONE SCAN
 BONE MARROW ASPIRATION AND BIOPSY
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of the
lung:
 Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle
aspiration biopsy.
 An endoscope that has an ultrasound
probe and a biopsy needle is inserted
through the mouth and into the
esophagus.
 The probe bounces sound waves off body
tissues to make echoes that form a
sonogram (computer picture) of the
lymph nodes near the esophagus.
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided
Bronchoscopy
 If certain tissues, organs,
or lymph nodes can’t be
reached,
a thoracotomy may be
done. In this procedure, a
larger incision is made
between the ribs and the
chest is opened.
Thoracoscopy
 Tissue samples may be taken
from lymph nodes on the right
side of the chest and checked
under a microscope for signs of
cancer. In an anterior
mediastinotomy (Chamberlain
procedure), the incision is made
beside the breastbone to remove
tissue samples from the lymph
nodes on the left side of the
chest.
Mediastinoscopy
Lymph node biopsy: The removal of all or part of
a lymph node. A pathologist views the lymph
node tissue under a microscope to check for
cancer cells.
LYMPH NODE BIOPSY
 A small amount of
radioactive glucose (sugar) is
injected into the patient's
vein, and a scanner makes a
picture of where the glucose
is being used in the body.
Cancer cells show up
brighter in the picture
because they take up more
glucose than normal cells do.
PET SCAN
 Surgical therapy (pneumonectomy, lobectomy
resection procedures)
 Radiation therapy
 Chemotherapy
 Targeted therapy
