A+||BRAND NEW!!
Clinical manifestations of lung cancer Ans✓✓✓The major presenting
complaints of lung cancer include cough, hemoptysis (blood in sputum),
wheeze, stridor, chest pain, and dyspnea; Patients may also complain of
weight loss, excessive fatigue, and weakness. Hoarseness may be a sign
if the tumor compresses the recurrent laryngeal nerve.
Small cell lung cancer and incorrect pneumonia diagnosis
Ans✓✓✓Tumor may cause obstructive accumulation of secretions,
productive cough, which leads to incorrect diagnosis of pneumonia.
Lung cancer may be incidental finding on routine chest x-ray.
Paraneoplastic syndrome symptoms may lead to diagnosis. 'Pneumonia'
treatment not working, take biopsy, reevaluate. Patients can present
without symptoms.
Paraneoplastic syndrome clinical manifestations Ans✓✓✓unexpected
physiological changes found within the body; ex: ACTH-like hormone,
resembles MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone), patient has tanned

Etiology of NHL Ans✓✓✓Chromosomal translocations are the genetic
hallmark of lymphomas. A common translocation in NHL is the
translocation of genes at 14q32 and 18q21, present in 85% of follicular
lymphomas
Etiology of HL Ans✓✓✓The cause of HL is unknown, but EBV has
been found in malignant B lymphocytes. Also, persons who are
immunosuppressed have a higher risk of HL. Exposure to carcinogens,
viruses, and genetic and immune mechanisms have been proposed as
etiologies, but none have been proven
