What is lung cancer?

Lung cancer is cancer that usually starts in the lining of the bronchi (the main airways of the lungs), but can also begin in other areas of the respiratory system, including the trachea, bronchioles, or alveoli. It is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women. In 2008, 215,020 new cases of lung cancer are expected, according to the American Cancer Society.

Lung cancers are believed to develop over a period of many years.

Nearly all lung cancers are carcinomas, a cancer that begins in the lining or covering tissues of an organ. the tumor cells of each type of lung cancer grow and spread differently, and each type requires different treatment. about 85 percent to 90 percent of lung cancers belong to the group called non-small cell lung cancer.

Lung cancers are generally divided into two types:

• Nonsmall cell lung cancer is much more common than small cell lung cancer. the three main kinds of nonsmall cell lung cancer are named for the type of cells in the tumor:
• Squamous cell carcinoma, also called epidermoid carcinoma, is the most common type of lung cancer in men. It often begins in the bronchi and usually does not spread as quickly as other types of lung cancer.
• Adenocarcinoma usually begins along the outer edges of the lungs and under the lining of the bronchi. It is the most common type of lung cancer in people who have never smoked.
• Large cell carcinomas are a group of cancers with large, abnormal-looking cells. these tumors usually begin along the outer edges of the lungs.
• Small cell lung cancer, sometimes called oat cell cancer because the cancer cells may look like oats when viewed under a microscope, grows rapidly and quickly spreads to other organs. There are two stages of small cell lung cancer:
• limited -  cancer is generally found only in one lung. There may also be cancer in nearby lymph nodes on the same side of the chest.
• extensive -  cancer has spread beyond the primary tumor in the lung into other parts of the body.

It is important to find out what kind of lung cancer a person has. the different types of carcinomas, involving different regions of the lung, may cause different symptoms and are treated differently.

What are the symptoms of lung cancer?

The following are the most common symptoms for lung cancer. however, each individual may experience symptoms differently.

Lung cancer usually does not cause symptoms when it first develops, but they often become present after the tumor begins growing. a cough is the most common symptom of lung cancer. other symptoms include:

• constant chest pain
• shortness of breath
• wheezing
• recurring lung infections, such as pneumonia or bronchitis
• bloody or rust-colored sputum
• hoarseness
• a tumor that presses on large blood vessels near the lung can cause swelling of the neck and face
• a tumor that presses on certain nerves near the lung causing pain and weakness in the shoulder, arm, or hand
• fever for unknown reason

Like all cancers, lung cancer can cause:

• fatigue
• loss of appetite
• loss of weight
• headache
• pain in other parts of the body not affected by the cancer
• bone fractures

Other symptoms can be caused by substances made by lung cancer cells–referred to as a paraneoplastic syndrome. Certain lung cancer cells produce a substance that causes a sharp drop in the level of sodium in the blood, which can cause many symptoms, including confusion and sometimes even coma.

None of these symptoms is a sure sign of lung cancer. Only a physician can tell whether a patient’s symptoms are caused by cancer or by another problem. Consult your physician for a diagnosis.

What are the risk factors for lung cancer?

A risk factor is anything that increases a person’s chance of getting a disease such as cancer. different cancers have different risk factors. several risk factors make a person more likely to develop lung cancer:

• Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, with nearly 90 percent of lung cancers thought to be a result of smoking.

Additional risk factors include:

• secondhand smoke – breathing in the smoke of others
• smoking marijuana cigarettes, which:
• contain more tar than tobacco cigarettes.
• are inhaled very deeply.
• are smoked all the way to the end where tar content is the highest.

Because marijuana is an illegal substance, it is not possible to control whether it contains fungi, pesticides, and other additives.

Lung cancer is divided into two types, namely:

- Non-small cell lung cancer, ranging from 80% of all lung cancer patients – Small call lung cancer, around 20% of all lung cancer patients. Small cell lung cancer is divided into two types, namely the limited stage and extensive stage.

Although the number of patients with small cell lung cancer types of lung cancer a little more, but information about small cell lung cancer symptoms and treatments are very important for us to know.

Small cell lung cancer symptoms that often arise are:

- persistent cough. Patients will complain of persistent cough. this cough will eventually interfere with the activities and lives of patients. Coughing will not recover even after getting treatment to relieve cough.

- Shortness of breath Patients will complain of shortness of breath. Shortness of breath is initially mild that patients do not complain, but the longer shortness of breath is more severe, so patients can work or will not work.

- Chest pain small cell lung cancer symptoms are also frequently arises is chest pain. DAA pain management in lung cancer should receive serious attention from a doctor. Chest pain in patients with lung cancer can be very powerful at all; patients can suffer greatly from this chest pain.

Small cell lung cancer Treatments

-          Limited Stage

Chemotherapy (platinum-based regimen) is much more effective for small cell lung cancer than for NSCLC.

The overall initial response rate measured by remission of tumor growth or shrinkage of primary tumor mass, or both, with limited small-cell stage from 60% to 90%. a complete response occurs in 45% to 75% with a long-term complete remission (cure) rate about 20%.

-          Extensive Stage

Systemic chemotherapy results in an overall initial response rate of 60% to 70%, with complete response in 20% to 30%. Unfortunately, complete response rates are temporary (median 4 months), and chemotherapy becomes palliative due to the eventual recurrence of tumor.

The median survival rate ranges from 9 to 12 months.

my dad was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer end of feb 08. symptoms started begining of february. he was paraplegic and ex smoker gave up 4 years ago. he also had heart attack end of august 07. some say that cancer is dormant before it forms a tumor and my question is do you think cancer was there before the heart attack or did heart attack change something for the cancer to start.

*Smoking
*Toxic chemicals
*Environmental pollution
*Family history (gives you a slight risk)

Lung cancer depends upon the person.

Lung cancer can be both slow growing and fast growing. He can ask the pathologist since most tumors have a specific growth range. Many people have no indication of lung cancer until it actually impairs their breathing, which is often quite advanced. that is why treatment isn't always that successful. So sorry that he is sick! My Dad is currently quite ill as well. It's tough because he just can't do what he wants to do.

You can have lung cancer for years and years and not know as by the time the symptoms start its malignant. it wouldn't have been dormant but it could have been benign and then become more agressive as it grew. the heart attack wouldn't have encouraged the cancer. As its just when the coronary artery becomces obstructed and the heart gets starved of oxygen causeing it to become damaged or parts of it to die.
I don't know weather this could also starve the body of oxygen also, but if it did, that could have slowed the cancers growth. if the cancer is in the lungs close to the heart, it could be that the cancerous growth was pressing on the heart causing an obstruction of sorts.

'this isn't fact' this is based on my knowlage.

here is a research group with a message board someone there might know boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/

feb of 07 i had spots on my lung,i also had breast cancer,in dec on my next ct scan the spots had grown in to a tumour,i had no symptons and the tumour is not connected to the breast cancer,i think it was there before the heartattack hun

wen you keep farting and sharting.

cancer experts
i want to know about small cell lung cancer i've read that usualy cancer is dormant for years before it start to grow.
my question is how long usualy takes for the cancer while is growing to show symptoms does it happen realy fast or does it take less than a year les than six month less than three months or does it just take weeks. thanks

That really all depends on when a person decided to get checked. Many times the only symptoms are fatigue or shoulder pain, or shortness of breath.. or all of the above three. most of these symptoms are put down to over work, stress and perhaps an injury so are left untreated. In my case, I thought it was overwork and was just real tired, I developed what I thought was a bronchial attack so went for a routine xray.. the xray looked suspicious, a CT scan was set up.. within a month of tests I was diagnosed with stage iv inoperable, terminal cancer. I know one lady who fell down, hurt her shoulder so went to have it xrayed, her stage four cancer was found. She had no other symptoms… so it really depends on the person. all I can really say is you have to know your body and when something doesn't feel right…. go and have a check up. Its just too difficult to put a time frame of when symptoms will appear.

When lung cancer starts exhibiting symptoms, it is in an advanced stage (III or IV). Early stage (I and II) are often found by accident during an X-ray performed for other reasons, as early stage does not exhibit any symptoms.

The length of time for grow depends on the cancer type. Squamous cell is a slow growing cancer, whereas small cell is a fast growing.

Start­ing lung can­cers are divided into two dis­tinct types. Non-small cell lung can­cer and small cell lung can­cer. this dis­tinc­tion between can­cer cells in micro­scope images is done. both types of can­cer are treated in dif­fer­ent ways and to develop and spread.

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Small-cell lung can­cer is more com­mon and gen­er­ally devel­ops more slowly and spread. There are 3 main types of this can­cer: this is the dif­fer­ence among the types of treat­ment and sur­vival.Small Cell Lung Cancer

Also called oat cell can­cer of this can­cer, and some­times oats. Accord­ing to non-small cell lung can­cer is less com­mon. this tipdeki can­cers develop more quickly and spread to other parts of the body is greater.

Can­cers begin in the lungs are divided into two types. Accord­ing to the cells under a micro­scope image of non-small cell lung can­cer and small cell lung can­cer. Each dif­fer­ent type of lung can­cer grows, devel­ops and is treated.

Lung Can­cer Risk Elements

Con­nect to a sin­gle cause of lung can­cer devel­op­ment. Stud­ies have found to cause a lot of lung can­cer as a result of var­i­ous fac­tors play a role in the devel­op­ment of lung can­cer. . most of them are related to the use of tobacco, can­cer is not con­ta­gious. Some peo­ple at risk of lung can­cer is higher than oth­ers. The fol­low­ing cases are increas­ing the risk of cancer.

Cig­a­rette smok­ing causes lung can­cer. Tütün­deki harm­ful sub­stances (car­cino­gens) dam­age to cells in the lungs. over time, these can­cer cells can cause harm­ful effects. one of lung can­cer in smok­ers, the age at which smok­ing began, how much has been smoked, the num­ber of cig­a­rettes smoked per day, smok­ing is about how deep into the çekti?iyle. Quit smok­ing can greatly reduce a person’s risk of devel­op­ing lung cancer.

Cigar and pipe, cigar and pipe users who do not use them, rather than have the risk of devel­op­ing lung can­cer. how many years a per­son smoked cigar or pipe per day, how many and how deep into the drink taken, the fac­tors affect­ing the risk of can­cer. Shrink­age in the inte­rior of the cigar and pipe smok­ers are at increased risk for lung and other types of oral can­cer.Pas­sive smok­ers (tobacco smoke maruzkalan­lar) in the case of pas­sive smok­ing increases the risk of lung can­cer.Asbestos, used in cer­tain indus­tries and some nat­ural fibers in a min­eral in the group. Asbestos fibers and par­ti­cles tend to leave the clothes stick around in the air. When inhaled, these par­ti­cles set­tle in the lungs and there is the risk of devel­op­ing lung can­cer cells and thus increase the dam­age u?rat?r­lar. Stud­ies have exposed to the risk of devel­op­ing lung can­cer in work­ers exposed to asbestos kalmayan­lara showed that up to 3–4 times more. this increase in ship­build­ing, asbestos min­ing, insu­la­tion work and brake repair work­ers in indus­tries such as shown.The risk of lung can­cer in asbestos work­ers is higher than non-içiyorlarsa. Asbestos work­ers to use pro­tec­tive equip­ment pro­vided by employ­ers and have to fol­low the rec­om­mended pro­ce­dures for busi­ness and security.

Air Pol­lu­tion, a rela­tion­ship between expo­sure to air pol­lu­tion with lung can­cer were found. but this rela­tion­ship could not be clearly defined and more research needs to be done.Lung Dis­eases, increase the risk of can­cer by lung dis­eases such as TB. Lung can­cer has a ten­dency to fur­ther improve­ment in areas affected by tuberculosis.

The patient’s story is once again a sec­ond lung can­cer in peo­ple at risk of lung can­cer, no can­cer was not greater than the per­son. after receiv­ing the diag­no­sis of lung can­cer, quit smok­ing, can pre­vent the devel­op­ment of a sec­ond lung can­cer.Risky occu­pa­tions, min­ers, tex­tile, insu­la­tion and ship­yard work­ers, petro-chemical, chim­ney clean­ers, plas­tic indus­try work­ers, work­ers in min­ing and resources, bleach man­u­fac­tur­ers, glass, ceramic, linoleum, and bat­tery work­ers, paint, foundries, steel workers

LOCATION OF LUNG CANCER DIAGNOSIS

For help find­ing the causes of the symp­toms his doctor’s dis­eases, tobacco use (cig­a­rettes, pipes, cig­ars, etc..) Sta­tus, expo­sure to envi­ron­men­tal or occu­pa­tional sub­stances, and other fam­ily mem­bers as queries whether it is can­cer. Chest X-rays and may require some tests.

There are many ways to get to this tissue.

1) Bron­choscopy: a slim, lighted tube (bron­cho­scope) is inserted into the mouth to see the air­ways, air routes are exam­ined and a small piece of tis­sue is taken from here.

2) Nee­dle aspi­ra­tion biopsy: a nee­dle inserted into the tumor is a small piece of tis­sue taken chesty process.

3) Tho­ra­cen­te­sis: a lit­tle fluid around the lungs using a nee­dle to inves­ti­gate whether this exam­ple.4) Tho­ra­co­tomy: Can­cer to get to know in order to get a piece of tumor sur­gi­cally open­ing the chest.

Can­cer patients as a result of the inves­ti­ga­tions which stage of the dis­ease is detected, the doc­tor will want to learn. If the can­cer has spread to the spread of this stag­ing is done to find the body which has spread to regions.

Lung can­cer often spreads to the brain and bones. Know­ing the stage of the dis­ease helps the doc­tor plan treat­ment. here are some of the tests used to find the can­cer has spread:

LUNG CANCER TREATMENT

Treat­ment depends on many fac­tors. These type of lung can­cer, dis­ease stage and patient’s gen­eral health sta­tus. many dif­fer­ent treat­ments and treat­ment com­bi­na­tions used in treat­ment.Vis­i­ble after the oper­a­tion, left to be deter­mined level of the patients in addi­tion to can­cer treat­ment is called adju­vant ther­apy. Adju­vant ther­apy after surgery is likely to be invis­i­ble, but left behind a small num­ber given with the aim to kill can­cer cells. The deci­sion whether or not to adju­vant treat­ment, fea­tures, pathol­ogy report, the patient’s age and gen­eral con­di­tion is deter­mined by. Patients in the treat­ment of post­op­er­a­tive adju­vant chemother­apy or radio­ther­apy, or both chemother­apy and radio­ther­apy can only. Some­times, it may not require adju­vant ther­apy after surgery in patients with very early stage.Surgery to remove can­cer of the oper­a­tion. Loca­tion of lung can­cer depends on the type of sur­gi­cal inter­ven­tion. The oper­a­tion to take a small track in the lungs ‘wedge’ or ‘seg­men­tal’ is called resection.

If surgery is taken as a whole lobe (lobec­tomy), right or left lung is received one (pneu­monec­tomy) is called. Some tumors loca­tion, size, and the patient’s gen­eral health sta­tus can not be oper­ated due.

The killing of can­cer cells to chemother­apy drugs. Usu­ally con­sists of more than one drug. The spe­cial train­ing of nurses give chemother­apy alone in this regard. The num­ber is expressed as grant­ing of chemother­apy cycles (cycles 1, 2 cycles) and often repeated the same drugs given to a 21 or 28 days. Intra­venous chemother­apy, often given as a pill or oral liq­uid form of out­pa­tient treat­ment cen­ters. Some­times the patient’s gen­eral state of dis­or­der, drugs, or drugs given to patients accord­ing to the forms of admin­is­tra­tion may be required hos­pi­tal treat­ment. Patients after each cycle are con­trolled med­ical oncol­ogy out­pa­tient clinic. These con­trols will be exam­ined patients, the com­plaints heard, and ques­tioned the side effects of drugs to other organs in the body, some blood tests to inves­ti­gate whether a loss is requested. done before each cycle blood counts and chemother­apy in this cen­sus that com­pe­tent nurses are needed. Whether or not a patient after chemother­apy, surgery, pathol­ogy report, if you take a tumor-related char­ac­ter­is­tics will deter­mine how many cycles. How­ever, this deci­sion mak­ings of the patient’s age, gen­eral con­di­tion also plays an impor­tant role.More than 12 hours a day until the time of under­go­ing inpa­tient chemother­apy given to patients with poor gen­eral con­di­tion, yecek­lerinden not be able to tol­er­ate the side effects are not eli­gi­ble. Patients sched­uled for chemother­apy, surgery within 3 weeks of chemother­apy after surgery start olmu?larsa is preferred.

Patients receiv­ing chemother­apy until about a week after each chemother­apy checked by a doc­tor must pass med­ical oncol­ogy out­pa­tient clinic. this is exam­ined in con­trol patients, lis­tened to com­plaints, the side effects of chemother­apy is eval­u­ated and if nec­es­sary re-adjustment of the drug dose.Radi­a­tion ther­apy: also called radio­ther­apy. The use of high-energy rays to kill can­cer cells. Lim­ited applied to each area and this area in order to reduce the can­cer cells etkiler.Radyoterapi a tumor before surgery or to destroy can­cer cells can be applied after an inter­ven­tion. Radio­ther­apy com­bined with chemother­apy, doc­tors often use as an alter­na­tive to sur­gi­cal treat­ment, against the first. Symp­toms such as short­ness of breath can also be used for the removal.

Photo dynamic ther­apy and to give this a spe­cial chem­i­cal sub­stance into the blood­stream by cells is taken. this chem­i­cal rapidly leaves the nor­mal cells. but in can­cer cells remain in a longer period of time. later, these cells pass the laser light is pro­vided by apply­ing the acti­vat­ing sub­stance and the cells are killed.

Non-small cell lung can­cer treatment:

Non-small cell lung can­cer patients can be treated in a very dif­fer­ent way. The preva­lence of the dis­ease is related to the selec­tion of treat­ment. The most com­mon treat­ment is a form of sur­gi­cal inter­ven­tion. Radio­ther­apy and chemother­apy in slow­ing the dis­ease dura­tion and can be used to con­trol symp­toms.Small-cell lung can­cer treatment:

Small-cell lung can­cer spreads quickly. in many cases, the dis­ease spread to other parts of the body when diag­nosed. Doc­tors to reach can­cer cells spread to the body almost always use chemother­apy. Treat­ment, includ­ing chemother­apy, tumors in the lungs or other parts of the body to tar­get tumors in patients uygulanabilirler.Baz? radio­ther­apy for brain can­cer, but not applic­a­ble there. this treat­ment is called pre­ven­tive brain irra­di­a­tion. this is to pre­vent the for­ma­tion of the brain tumor. Sur­gi­cal treat­ment of small cell lung can­cer are very low.

Side effects of can­cer treat­ment depends on the type of treat­ment may be dif­fer­ent for each patient. Explain the pos­si­ble side effects of treat­ment, doc­tors and nurses to patients. Before and after treat­ment sug­gest ways to avoid the side effects.

Side effects of chemother­apy depend on the drug. as a gen­eral rule of chemother­apy affects rapidly pro­lif­er­at­ing cells. Dur­ing the clot­ting of bleed­ing, pro­vid­ing defenses against the dis­ease makes blood cells carry oxy­gen to organs and body that fast grow­ing cells. this is approx­i­mately 1 week to 10 days after receiv­ing chemother­apy, blood cells decline in num­ber and, there­fore, soon may be bruis­ing or bleed­ing after minor oper­a­tions such as tooth brush­ing.

Can­cer can cause a decrease in appetite. Unpleas­ant­ness in the mouth occurs in some patients. most of the side effects of treat­ments, nau­sea, vom­it­ing and mouth sores make it dif­fi­cult for the patient to eat. but nutri­tion is very impor­tant.

FOLLOW-UP OF PATIENTS:
