Q

Treatment for Pancoast tumor

A

Induction chemoradiotherapy
- if resectable better if chemo/rad pre op
- If not or N2 then concurrent chem/rad

Q

Treatment for Extensive Small cell

A

Cisplatin + VP-16 (epoposide)
OR carboplatin + VP-16 (less toxic)
OR cisplatin + irinotecan

2 cycles for induction then:
- 2-4 more for consolidaation
- No benefit to >6 cycles

Can add immunotherapy

NO XRT survival benefit but can be palliative

Q

When to get mediastinal lymph node sampling ?

A

If considering resection with curative intent with metastatic dz to only one organ – need to make sure there is not additional spread

Q

Additional testing needed to determine treatment for non-small cell lung cancer

A

molecular characterization (need enough tissue so likely EBUS)
Genetic alterations- Next gen sequencing
PDL-1 expression (core biopsy)

Q

What value of FEV1 and DLCO would not require additional work up prior to lung resection?

A

> = 80%

if less then need to get predicted postop (PPO) lung function data

Q

How to assess contribution of lung region to function?

A

Lung perfusion scintigraphy – pneumonectomy
Segment counting – better for lobectomy (use CT)

17
Q

How to calculated PPO lung function using perfusion scintigraphy?

A

PPO FEV1 = preoperative FEV1 x (1 – fraction of total perfusion in the resected lung measured on radionuclide perfusion)

same for DLCO

18
Q

How to calculate PPO lung function with segment counting?

A

PPO FEV1 = preoperative FEV1 x (1 – a/b) where “a” is the number of segments to be resected and “b” is the total number of unobstructed segments (total number of segments is 19 [typically 10 on the right and 9 on the left])

19
Q

Which patients need more work up based on PPO FEV1 and/or DLCO?

A

<60%

20
Q

Postoperative predicted FEV1 or DLCO <60 percent but both ≥30 percent, next steps?

A

need to get stair climb (<22m need CPET) or shuttle walk test (<400 m need CPET)

21
Q

Postoperative predicted FEV1 and DLCO <30 percent, next steps?

A

CPET to measure VO2max

22
Q

lung resection risk based on CPET results

A

> 20 ml/kg/min (>75% predicted) - low risk

10-20 – moderate risk.

<10 (<35% predicted) – high risk

23
Q

fibrolymphoplasmacytic infiltrate on path suggestive of …

A

inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT)

24
Q

anaplastic lymphoma kinase translocations associated with what mass

A

inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor

25
Q

somatostatin receptors associated with what lung lesion

A

Carcinoid

26
Q

Recommended surveillance of NSCLC treated with curative intent

A

6 mo after completion of therapy and every 6mo for first 2 years then yearly though 5 years

27
Q

How to tell if two nodules are same cancer or two primary cancers?

A

Need histological genomic testing.

Features suggestive of separate tumors:
- different appearance on imaging
- different behavior
- absence of regional spread
- presence of different molecular biomarkers

28
Q

Multiple lung nodules from same cancer staging if in same lobe

A

T3

29
Q

Multiple lung nodules from same cancer staging if in different lobes of same lung

A

T4

30
Q

Multiple lung nodules from same cancer staging if in different lungs

A
