About Lung Cancer

• Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in both
  men and women.
• Lung cancer mainly occurs in older people.
• For smokers the risk is much higher.
• Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide,
  accounting for 1.69 million new cases in 2015.
• Nonsmokers have a 20 to 30 percent greater chance
  of developing lung cancer if they are exposed to
  secondhand smoke at home or work.

2 Major Types of Lung Cancer

• There are 2 major types of lung cancer
• ? Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)
• ? Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
• 85 - 90 of all lung cancers are NSCLC.
• If a lung cancer has characteristics of both
  types it is called a mixed small cell/large cell
  cancer -- this is not common.

8
Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

• Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for about 85
  percent of lung cancers and includes
• Adenocarcinoma, the most common form of lung
  cancer in the United States among both men and
  women
• Squamous cell carcinoma, which accounts for 25
  percent of all lung cancers
• Large cell carcinoma, which accounts for about 10
  percent of NSCLC tumors.

Stages of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

• Stage I The cancer is located only in the lungs
  and has not spread to any lymph nodes.
• Stage II The cancer is in the lung and nearby
  lymph nodes.
• Stage III Cancer is found in the lung and in the
  lymph nodes in the middle of the chest, also
  described as locally advanced disease. Stage III
  has two subtypes
• If the cancer has spread only to lymph nodes on
  the same side of the chest where the cancer
  started, it is called stage IIIA.
• If the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes on
  the opposite side of the chest, or above the
  collar bone, it is called stage IIIB.
• Stage IV This is the most advanced stage of lung
  cancer, and is also described as advanced
  disease. This is when the cancer has spread to
  both lungs, to fluid in the area around the
  lungs, or to another part of the body, such as
  the liver or other organs

10
Small Cell Lung Cancer

• Small cell lung cancer accounts for the remaining
  15 percent of lung cancers in the United States.
• They tend to grow more quickly than NSCLC tumors.
  Usually, SCLC is more responsive to chemotherapy
  than NSCLC.

11
Stages of Small Cell Lung Cancer

• Limited stage In this stage, cancer is found on
  one side of the chest, involving just one part of
  the lung and nearby lymph nodes.
• Extensive stage In this stage, cancer has spread
  to other regions of the chest or other parts of
  the body.
• The American Joint Commission on Cancer
  implemented a more detailed staging system in
  which the stages of small cell lung cancer are
  described using Roman numerals and letters (for
  example, Stage IIA). This is the same method that
  is used for non-small cell lung cancer in
  describing the growth and spread of the cancer

Symptoms

• A new cough that doesn't go away
• Coughing up blood, even a small amount
• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain
• Hoarseness
• Losing weight without trying
• Bone pain
• Headache

13
Treatment Prevention
14
Treatment Prevention

• The best way for most people to reduce their risk
  of lung cancer is to not smoke and also avoid
  breathing in other people's smoke.

15
Treatment Prevention

• Reduce or eliminate radon exposure
• Talk with your local EPA office about home
  testing
• Avoid exposure to known cancer-causing chemicals
• Follow a healthy diet

16
Conclusion

• At least one third and potentially more than half
  of all cancers could be prevented through a
  combination of healthy lifestyle and regular
  screening.
• This position statement summarises the evidence
  on cancer risk for seven modifiable lifestyle
  factors
• -gt tobacco, overweight and obesity, physical
  activity and sedentary behaviour, diet, alcohol,
  UV radiation and infections.
