A

lung cancer

35
Q

What are the 2 types of lung cancer?

A

Small cell carinoma

Non-small cell carcinoma (most common)

36
Q

What 3 things make up non-small cell carcinoma?

A

squamous cell carcinoma
adenocarcinoma
large cell carcinoma

37
Q

What are the S/S of lung cancer?

A

mild cough, dyspnea, increased sputum production, hemoptysis, CP, weight loss

38
Q

What are the PE of lung cancer?

A

May be normal or reveal changes (i.e. crackles, inspiratory wheeze, dullness to percussion)
Lymph node enlargement in neck or axilla = metastatic disease

39
Q

What are lung cancers in the apex of the chest and invade apical chest wall structures? Cause pain radiating down the arm or Horner syndrome (ptosis, miosis, anydrosis)

A

Superior sulcus or Pancoast tumors

40
Q

Localized carcinoma forms and later extends beyond bronchial mucosa. Usually found in central airways and may lead to obstruction. Lowest rate of metastasis

A

Squamous cell lung cancer

41
Q

Develop as peripheral lesion and may be assoc. with pneumonitis and hilar adenopathy

Two subtypes: giant cell and clear cell

A

Large cell carcinoma

42
Q

Most common type of lung cancer and most common type in nonsmokers. Usually found in periphery of the lung. Assoc. with PE and distant metastasis. Can cause mucus production. Poor prognosis

A

Adenocarcinoma

43
Q

Strongly assoc. with smoking. Perihilar location. Assoc. lymphadenopathy. Metastasize fast and outcome is very poor.

A

Small Cell Lung Carcinoma

44
Q

How is lung cancer diagnosed?

A

tissue biopsy

Sampling of PE to assess for malignant cells

45
Q

Treatment for lung cancer?

A

chemo, radiation

Surgery is the only curative therapy

46
Q

Single, rounded lesion in lung <3cm in diameter

A

solitary pulmonary nodule

47
Q

If a nodule has discrete borders, diffuse/central/popcorn/laminated calcifications, no change in size in 2 years. Is it benign or malignant?

A

Benign most likely

48
Q

If you suspect a lesion is malignant what should you do?

A

remove it

49
Q

Neurologic syndomes that are elicited by patient’s immune response to tumors in the lung, ovaries, breast, lymphatic system

A

Paraneoplastic syndromes

50
Q

S/S of paraneoplastic syndromes

A

paraneoplastic syndromes

52
Q

What is the presurgical evaluation of lung cancer?
