Lung Cancer
Epidemiology
 Lung cancer has been estimated as the most common
cancer in the world combined sexes for several
decades accounting for 23.1 in 2012. More than half
(55%) of the cases occurred in the developing world.
Globocon 2012
 The death toll due to lung cancer is projected to rise
to ten million by 2030 with 7 out of 10 deaths in the
developing world.

 One-third of total cases in INDIA
 Seen not in elderly but also in middle aged persons.
 Most of the patients have advanced disease at diagnosis and 51.8% have evidence of
metastases.
 The commonest presentation has been a mass lesion with or without collapse
 Squamous cell & adeno carcinoma have been the most common type

 Smoking

 Radiation Exposure
 Environmental/ Occupational Exposure
 Asbestos
 Radon
 Passive smoke
Lung cancer
Symptoms & Diagnosis
 Symptoms often confused with TB
fever, cough, expectoration, hemoptysis, weight
loss and anorexia
Age of the patient, smoking history, mediastinal
symptoms such as hoarseness of voice, SVC
obstruction and dysphagia favour the diagnosis
 Diagnosis with categorisation of the cell type is
required before treatment
70-90% diagnosed by cytopathological
examination
Any mass lesion on radiology is subjected to
bronchoscopy or transthoracic FNAC biopsy

Features of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Lung Cancer
Adenocarcinoma (40%)
•Accounts for approximately 40% of all
lung cancers diagnosed in the U.S.
•Usually located in peripheral regions
of the lung.
•Frequently spreads to lymph nodes
and distant organs.
•Most common type of NSCLC in non-
smokers.
•High percentage in women.
Lung Cancer
•Usually located in the central
regions of the lung.
•Often causes bronchial
obstruction.
•Tends to be slow growing.
•Spreads commonly to regional
lymphnodes
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Features of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Lung Cancer
•Accounts for approximately 15% of all
lung cancers diagnosed in the U.S.
•Usually appears as a larger lesion.
•Occurs in the peripheral regions of
the lung.
•Characteristically aggressive, and
rapidly fatal.
•Tends to spread to lymph nodes and
distant organs.
Large Cell Carcinoma
Features of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Features of small - cell lung cancer (SCLC)
Lung Cancer
•Highly malignant
•Closely associated with smoking
•Most common type of lung cancer
which produces endocrine type
paraneoplastic syndrome
•at the time of diagnosis metastasis
is commonly observed

Epidemiology: Summary
The leading cause of cancer death among men
and women
Begins when cells in the lung grow out of
control and form a tumor
There are two main types of lung cancer:
Non-small cell lung cancer [NSCLC]
Constitutes 80% of which 65% are Stage
III/IV
Small cell lung cancer [ SCLC]
Constitutes 20% of total cases
Diagnosis and staging
Differentiating Lung Ca from TB:
May not be possible on the basis of clinical or
imaging features alone
Cytological/pathological confirmation of diagnosis
of LC mandatory prior to initiation of Rx
RNTCP - Guidelines
Diagnostic workup
History and Physical exam
Diagnostic tests
Chest x-ray
Biopsy (bronchoscopy, needle biopsy, surgery)
Staging tests
CT chest/abdomen
Bone scan
PET scan
Lung Cancer
Diagnosis of Lung CA
This chest radiograph shows complete collapse of the left lower lobe (left), which was found to
be an endobronchial tumor on CT (right). Chest radiographs may sometimes only reveal
secondary signs of an underlying mass. Opacities on chest radiographs may require follow-up
imaging to document resolution of either atelectasis or infection and ensure no underlying mass
lesion is present.

nodules detected at CT: a statement from the Fleischner Society. Radiology 2013;266:304-317.
NSCLC
Treatment
Treatment depends on the stage and type of
lung cancer
Surgery / Radiation therapy
 Local therapy for early-stage lung cancer
Chemotherapy
 Inoperable or advanced cases treated with Combination regimens
 Targeted therapy successful for EGFR mutated pts
Lung cancer is usually treated with a
combination of therapies

Platinum-based regimen
Bevacizumab with carboplatin / paclitaxel
Cisplatin with vinblastine / mitomycin
Cisplatin / vinorelbine
Cisplatin or Carboplatin / paclitaxel
Cisplatin / gemcitabine
Nonplatinum based regimen
Pts not tolerating cisplatin based regimen ie. elderly
or with PS of 2
EGFR TKIs for EGFR mutations
Stage IV
International recommendations
Recurrent or Progressive Stage IV#
International recommendations
Second-line therapy
Docetaxel
Pemetrexed
Erlotinib after failure of both platinum-based
and docetaxel chemotherapies
# advanced or metastatic NSCLC with adequate performance status who
have progressed on 1st-line platinum-based therapy
