90%
tobacco abuse is estimated to account for up to ____ of lung cancers?
30%
Relative risk rate in smokers of primary lung cancer is ____
true
t/f: 2nd hand exposure does increase the overall risk of lung cancer for non-smokers,
but not as much as active smoking does
cough (usually non-productive)
most common symptom of lung cancer
Dyspnea
Cough
Hemoptysis
Chest pain
hoarseness
pleural effusions
S/S of lung cancers
CXR
which imaging study is often 1st choice when diagnosing lung cancer
CT with contrast
follow a CXR with what imaging study to evaluate lymphadenopathy and to get a better
view of any masses?
spiculated
irregular
non-calcified
key trigger words that make you worry about lung cancer on a CT
PET
to find any potential metastases, use this imaging study (usually done after lung cancer
diagnosis is established)
FNA (fine needle aspiration)
this type of invasive study is used when masses cannot be reached by bronchoscopy
and is typically CT guided
thoracentesis
what type of invasive study can determine if a pleural effusion is malignant or not
EBUS (endobronchial ultrasound)
what invasive study is designed fro mediastinal lymphadenopathy that is relatively new
but gaining availability
open biopsy
what is the last resort invasive study for diagnosing lung cancer?
non-small cell
, majority of lung caners are ____ ____ ____
SCLC (small cell lung cancer)
this type of lung cancer is a medical emergency
-prevent in advanced stage usually
-very aggresive
-without Tx, fatal in a few weeks
neuroendocrine
histologically, what kind of cells do SCLC arise from?
central
SCLC typically begins in what portion of the lungs?
smokers
SCLC occurs virtually exclusively in what type of patients?
SCLC (small cell lung cancer)
this type of lung cancer produces various peptide hormones leading to a wide range of
paraneoplastic syndromes
paraneoplastic syndromes
SCLC causes production of various peptide hormones leading to a wide range of ____
____
true
T/f: SCLC is very sensitive to chemo and radiation treatment
adenocarcinoma
what is the most common type of NSCLG
peripherally
adenocarcinoma's tend to develop _____
adenocarcinoma
this type of lung cancer is associated with higher amounts of mucous production as it
arises from the bronchial mucosal glands
bronchial mucosal glands
pre-existing scars
where do adenocarcinoma's arise from in the lungs?
BAC (Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma)
this type of lung cancer is a subset of adenocarcinoma that is slow growing with
histology demonstrating malignant cells which grow along existing alveolar walls
brochorrhea
Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma is associated with _____
BAC (Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma)
what kind of NSCLC is the most common type in lifelong non-smokers
ground-glass opacities
Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma appears like ____ on imaging studies
BAC (Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma)
what kind of lung cancer appears like ground-glass opacities or pneumonia/pneumonitis
on imaging studies
squamous cell carcinoma
this type of NSCLC typically arise centrally within major bronchi so can lead to
hemoptysis and post-obstructive pneumonia
