Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Introduction Mira Wollner RAMBAM MEDICAL CENTER
Epidemiology Most frequent cause of cancer diagnosed in the US – about 12% of all cancer NSCLC represents ~ 80% of lung cancer In year 2004 ~ 173,770 new cases and 160,440 deaths Leading cause of cancer deaths in both men ( 32%) and women (25%) 75% of new cases present with non resectable disease Overall 5 year survival < 15% American Cancer Society, Cancer Facts & Figures 2005 SEER Cancer Statistics, 1998-2002. http://seer.cancer.gov
Newly Diagnosed NSCLC in Israel 1999 = 1338 2002 = 1450
Etiology Cigarette smoking responsible for > 80% cases Use of filter Tar content Variation of tobacco blends Contains ~ 300 chemicals and up to 40 potent carcinogens (nitrate) Recent changes in histological dominant type (due to changes in tobacco blend and use of filter) American Cancer Society, Cancer Facts & Figures 2005 SEER Cancer Statistics, 1998-2002. http://seer.cancer.gov
Histology Adenocarcinoma ( 45%) Broncho-alveolar carcinoma Atypical Alveolar Hyperplasia ( precursor) Broncho-alveolar carcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma ( 33%) Large cell carcinoma ( 9% ) Adenosquamous carcinoma Pleomorphic carcinoma Carcinoma of salivary gland Carcinoid American Cancer Society, Cancer Facts & Figures 2005 SEER Cancer Statistics, 1998-2002. http://seer.cancer.gov
Diagnosis Medical history Physical exam Labs Imaging studies CXR CT-scan PET-CT scan Bone scan
Diagnosis Bronchoscopy (FOB) Mediastinoscopy Histology Sputum FNA (cytology/biopsy) thoracotomy
Methods of Spread Vascular channels Lymphatic channels Airborne or lymphatic (satellite nodules) Lymphatic spread to regional lymph nodes: bronchopulmonary (segmental and lobar (N1), mediastinal (N2-3) ,supraclavicular (N3) Retrograde lymphatic spread (pleural surface) Direct invasion Systemic dissemination

Involvement of lymphatic metastatic spread in non-small cell lung cancer accordingly to the primary cancer location Skip metastases to level 10 (hilar) ~ 5% Skip metastases to mediastinal LN ~ 19% Mediastinal LN dissection must be the standard procedure Kotoulas CS et al 2004 Lung Cancer;44:183-191
