Study Notes
Lung Cancer
- Adenocarcinoma has the lowest association with smoking.
Types of Lung Cancer
- The most common type of lung cancer is Adenocarcinoma.
Lung Cancer Staging
- Presence of brain, bone, adrenal glands, and liver metastases typically corresponds to Stage IV.
Radiological Features
- Central, diffuse, laminated, or popcorn calcifications are typically associated with Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Diagnostic Methods
- Peripheral lesions in lung cancer are typically diagnosed using CT-guided biopsy or PET-CT.
TNM Staging System
- In the TNM system, 'T' represents the primary tumor.
Epidemiology of Lung Cancer
- Adenocarcinoma accounts for 38% of lung cancer cases.
Paraneoplastic Syndromes
- Destruction of the phrenic nerve by a tumor is associated with Pancoast syndrome.
Clinical Features of Lung Cancer
- Left-sided lung tumors are more commonly associated with dysphagia.
Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)
- A feature not characteristic of SCLC is a slow growth rate.
