Lung Cancer: Common Signs and Symptoms • Symptoms related to the primary tumor • Cough, hemoptysis, wheeze and stridor, dyspnea, and/or pneumonitis • Symptoms related to metastases • Bone pain, abdominal pain, headache, weakness, and/or confusion • Generalized symptoms • Fatigue, malaise, and/or loss of appetite American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Lung Cancer: Evaluation and Diagnosis Suspected lung cancer Initial evaluation: Chest x-ray CT scan PET scan* Peripheral tumor Central tumor Options - Percutaneous fine needle aspiration - Bronchoscopy - Video-assisted thoracoscopy - Thoracotomy Options - Sputum cytology - Bronchoscopy - Percutaneous fine needle aspiration - Thoracotomy *Some metastases visible by CT scan only. CT = computed tomography; PET = positron emission tomography. Ginsberg et al. Non–small cell lung cancer. In: Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology. 2001:925. Rivera et al.

Staging of SCLC • Physical examination • Serum chemistries and whole blood cell counts • CT scan of chest and upper abdomen • US upper abdomen • FDG PET scan • Bone scan • CT or MRI of the brain • Bone marrow biopsy (optional)
Initiated by tobacco smoke carcinogens. • Is SCLC derived from neuroendocrine Kulchitsky cells or stem cells?
Allelic loss (3p, 4p, 4q, 5q, 8p, 9p, 10q, 13q, 17p, 22q) • Microsatellite instabilities (35%) • MYC overexpression (30%) • Stem cell factor, c-kit overexpression (30%) • Bombesin/ Gastrin releasing peptide (BB/GRP), GRP receptor, IGF-I receptor

Small cell lung carcinoma • Rapid growth and early metastases • Staged in limited vs extensive disease (based on possibility of chest radiation in one field) • Limited disease: • stage I : resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy; 5y 35-45% • Stage II-III : chemoradiation, PCI in CR; 5y 20-25% • Extensive disease: • Chemotherapy : response 50-70%, 5y <5%
Prognostic factors for survival 19 mo 10 mo 7 mo 2 mo
Staging of small cell lung cancer Limited disease (within a tolerable radiation field) Extensive disease (distant metastases)
DEFINITION OF DISEASE EXTENSION • Very-limited disease: confined to one hemithorax without mediastinal lymph node involvement. • Limited disease: confined to one hemithorax including the contralateral lymph nodes (all within radiation field). • Extensive disease: beyond these bounderies.

Median survivals in SCLC • Very-limited disease ~5 years • Limited disease 18-24 months • Extensive disease 10 months • SCLC without treatment < 3 months
Approach to very-limited disease Surgery followed by chemotherapy

Limited Disease - SCLC • treatment has a small but definitively curative intent ( 5y survival: 10 – 25 % ) • combination chemotherapy is the backbone of treat-ment • thoracic radiotherapy significantly improves long term survival • early thoracic radiotherapy gives better results than late radiotherapy
limited disease - SCLC • cisplatin and etoposide are most easily combined within concurrent chemoradiation protocols (Turrisi et al ) • BID radiotherapy gives better local control and better long term survival than QD (5y survival %: 26% Turrisi et al, NEJM 99 ) • PCI significantly improves survival by 4-5 % at 5 years when given to complete responders (Auperin et al )
