  5. About Lung Cancer • Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in both men and women. • Lung cancer mainly occurs in older people. • For smokers the risk is much higher. • Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, accounting for 1.69 million new cases in 2015. • Nonsmokers have a 20 to 30 percent greater chance of developing lung cancer if they are exposed to secondhand smoke at home or work.

  6. 2 Major Types of Lung Cancer There are 2 major types of lung cancer: ▪ Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) ▪ Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) • 85 - 90% of all lung cancers are NSCLC. • If a lung cancer has characteristics of both types it is called a mixed small cell/large cell cancer -- this is not common.

  7. Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for about 85 percent of lung cancers and includes: • Adenocarcinoma, the most common form of lung cancer in the United States among both men and women; • Squamous cell carcinoma, which accounts for 25 percent of all lung cancers; • Large cell carcinoma, which accounts for about 10 percent of NSCLC tumors.

  8. Stages of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Stage I: The cancer is located only in the lungs and has not spread to any lymph nodes. Stage II: The cancer is in the lung and nearby lymph nodes. Stage III: Cancer is found in the lung and in the lymph nodes in the middle of the chest, also described as locally advanced disease. Stage III has two subtypes: • If the cancer has spread only to lymph nodes on the same side of the chest where the cancer started, it is called stage IIIA. • If the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes on the opposite side of the chest, or above the collar bone, it is called stage IIIB. Stage IV: This is the most advanced stage of lung cancer, and is also described as advanced disease. This is when the cancer has spread to both lungs, to fluid in the area around the lungs, or to another part of the body, such as the liver or other organs

  9. Small Cell Lung Cancer • Small cell lung cancer accounts for the remaining 15 percent of lung cancers in the United States. • They tend to grow more quickly than NSCLC tumors. Usually, SCLC is more responsive to chemotherapy than NSCLC.

  10. Stages of Small Cell Lung Cancer • Limited stage: In this stage, cancer is found on one side of the chest, involving just one part of the lung and nearby lymph nodes. • Extensive stage: In this stage, cancer has spread to other regions of the chest or other parts of the body. The American Joint Commission on Cancer implemented a more detailed staging system in which the stages of small cell lung cancer are described using Roman numerals and letters (for example, Stage IIA). This is the same method that is used for non-small cell lung cancer in describing the growth and spread of the cancer

  11. Symptoms • A new cough that doesn't go away • Coughing up blood, even a small amount • Shortness of breath • Chest pain • Hoarseness • Losing weight without trying • Bone pain • Headache

  12. Treatment & Prevention

  13. Treatment & Prevention The best way for most people to reduce their risk of lung canceris to not smoke and also avoid breathing in other people's smoke.

  14. Treatment & Prevention • Reduce or eliminate radon exposure • Talk with your local EPA office about home testing • Avoid exposure to known cancer-causing chemicals • Follow a healthy diet

  15. Conclusion At least one thirdand potentially more than half of all cancers could be prevented through a combination of healthy lifestyle and regular screening. This position statement summarises the evidence on cancer risk for seven modifiable lifestyle factors: -> tobacco, overweight and obesity, physical activity and sedentary behaviour, diet, alcohol, UV radiation and infections.
