Lung Cancer: Defined
Uncontrolled growth of malignant cells in
one or both lungs and tracheo-bronchial
tree
A result of repeated carcinogenic irritation
causing increased rates of cell replication
Proliferation of abnormal cells leads to
hyperplasia, dysplasia or carcinoma in situ

Lung Cancer in the US
According to 2004 statistics,
there were
173,770 new cases and
160,440 deaths yearly More deaths from lung
cancer than prostate, breast
and colorectal cancers
combined
Decreasing incidence and
deaths in men; continued
increase in women

Women & Lung Cancer
80,660new cases were reported in 2004
- Account for 12 % of all new cases
68,510deaths were reported in 2004
- An increase of 150% between 1974 and
1994
Women are more prone to tobacco effects -
1.5 times more likely to develop lung cancer
than men with same smoking habits

Smoking Facts
Tobacco use is theleading cause of lungcancer
87% of lung cancersare related to smoking
Risk related to:
age of smoking onset
amount smoked
gender
product smoked
depth of inhalation

Where does it travel?
Lymph Nodes, Brain, Liver, Adrenal,
Gland, Bones
40% of metastasis occurs in the
Adrenal Gland

Treatment and Staging
NSCLC
Stage Description Treatment Options
Stage I a/b Tumor of any size is found only in thelung
SurgeryStage II a/b Tumor has spread to lymph nodes
associated with the lung Surgery
Stage III a Tumor has spread to the lymph nodesin the tracheal area, including chest
wall and diaphragmChemotherapy followed
by radiation or surgery
Stage III b Tumor has spread to the lymph nodeson the opposite lung or in the neck Combination ofchemotherapy and
radiationStage IV Tumor has spread beyond the chest Chemotherapy and/or
palliative (maintenance)

SCLC
Limited StageDefined as tumor involvement of one lung, themediastinum and ipsilateral and/or contralateralsupraclavicular lymph nodes or disease that can
be encompassed in a single radiotherapy port.
Extensive Stage
Defined as tumor that has spread beyond one
lung, mediastinum, and supraclavicular lymphnodes. Common distant sites of metastases arethe adrenals, bone, liver, bone marrow, andbrain.

Conclusion
Smoking cessation is essential for
prevention of lung cancer.
New screening tools under way.
Clinical trials under way.
New treatments under way.
Treatment can palliate symptoms andimprove quality of life.
