Cancer AnswersA monthly column by the NE Regional Cancer Institute

by Patricia LawlessSPECIAL TO THE ABINGTON SUBURBAN

Lung cancer is the leading cause of can-cer deaths in both men and women in theUnited States and worldwide. Lung cancerclaims more lives each year than do colon,prostate, ovarian and breast cancers com-bined. It is responsible for 29 percent ofcancer deaths.But this wasn’t always the case. Before

the widespread use of mechanical cigaretterollers, lung cancer was rare. During thefirst world war, soldiers were given ciga-rettes to calm them down. They broughtthe habit home with them. Today, smok-ing causes nearly nine out of 10 lung cancerdeaths, while secondhand smoke, radongas, pollution and other chemicals play asmaller role. According to CancerCare.org., at least 60 percent of lung cancers di-agnosed this year will be in patients whoquit smoking in the past or never smoked.The risk of lung cancer increases with thelength of time and number of cigarettes

you’ve smoked.Your lungs are two spongy organs in

your chest that take in oxygen when youinhale and release carbon dioxide whenyou exhale. Lung cancer is the uncon-trolled growth of abnormal cells in one orboth lungs. These abnormal cells do notcarry out the functions of normal lungcells and do not develop into healthy lungtissue. As they grow, the abnormal cellscan form tumors and interfere with thefunctioning of the lung, which providesoxygen to the body via the blood.Lung cancer’s tragedy is that 85-90 per-

cent of the people who have it die from thedisease. This is because lung cancer beginsquietly. There are usually no symptomsor warning signs in its early stages. Mostlung cancers are first diagnosed based onsymptoms and then it is found to be at anadvanced stage. Symptoms of lung cancerare not very specific and generally reflectdamage to the lungs’ ability to functionnormally. The most common symptomsare a worsening cough that will not goaway and chest discomfort. Other symp-toms include shortness of breath, spittingup small amounts of blood, unexplainedweight loss, back pain, loss of appetite anda general fatigue.Unlike mammography for breast cancer

or colonoscopy for colon cancer, a widelyaccepted screening tool for early-stage lungcancer has not been available until recent-ly. Regular chest X-rays are not reliableenough to find lung tumors in their earli-est stages, when many doctors believe thetumors are at their smallest and most cur-able state. The goal of screening for lungcancer is to find the cancer before thereare symptoms so it can be treated success-fully. Most screening focuses on lookingfor non-small cell lung cancer because itis the most common type of lung cancerand can sometimes be cured if found earlyand treated.Who should be screened for lung

cancer? The target population for lungcancer screening is very specific. Recentguidelines from the American Society ofClinical Oncologists and the U.S. Preven-tive Services Task Force suggests annualscreening with low-dose computed tomog-raphy (LDCT) for smokers and formersmokers at high risk for developing lungcancer. High risk factors include being be-

tween the age of 55 to 80, have a historyof heavy smoking and either continuing tosmoke or having quit within the past 15years. Heavy smoking means a smokinghistory of 30 “pack years” or more. A “packyear” is smoking an average of one packof cigarettes a day for one year. Screeningfor lung cancer can have a false-positiveresult. This means that the test suggeststhere is lung cancer when there is none.This can cause worry, anxiety and unneed-ed tests and/or surgery. At this time, yearlyscreening with LDCT is recommended forhigh-risk individuals after careful discus-sion with their physicians.Lung cancer may be one of the deadli-

est forms of cancer, but it’s also one of themost preventable. In two words— don’tsmoke. And if you do, get the help youneed to quit. If you quit smoking, even af-ter smoking for many years, you can signif-icantly reduce your chances of developinglung cancer. Within 10 years of quitting,the risk of lung cancer will drop 30 to 50percent.The above information is from the U.S.
