non-smokers
KRAS dependent pathway found in
smokers
name the five types of adenocarcinoma
acinar--> most common papillary micropapillary bad prognisis lepidic (AIS--> good ) solid (bad prognosis)
cancer most likely to cavitate
Squamous cell carcinoma
profile of adeno carcinoma
CK 7+
Napsin A+
TTFi +
profile of squamous cell carcinoma
CD 5/6 +
p40+
p63+
contraindicated in squamous cell carcinoma
bevacizumab

pembertons sign seen with
small cell
facial flushingand distended head/nek veins upon raising both arms
cancer most associated with smoking
small cell carcinoma
medastinal lympahdenopathy out of proportion to lung lesion
SMall cell
cavitation more likley to be
squamous cell
non-smoker most likley to be
adenocarcinoma
“lepidic” growth pattern
adenocacinoma in situ
“formerly bronchioloalveolar carcinoma”
–> not invasive and great prognosis
