LUNG TUMORS
Ch. 12 p (459 – 512) March. 9. 2016LUNG TUMORS
Benign, malignant, epithelial, mesenchymal 90% Carcinoma 5% Carcinoids 2-5% Mesenchymal and others BIGGEST USA killer. a peak incidence in the 50s or 60s Only 15% 5 year survival.Types of lung cancer
Adenocarcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma Large cell carcinoma Small cell carcinomaNSCLC
SCLC
On the basis of likelihood of metastases and response to therapies
Types of lung cancer
Etiology and PathogenesisTobacco, (10 - 60 times more in smokers)Secondhand smokeRadiation, asbestos, …..etc.familial clustering (polymorphisms)Genetic mutations Tumor suppressor genes include p53, Rb1, p16.Ch 3p. Oncogenes involved in lung cancer are; c-MYC, KRAS, EGFR, HER-2/neu, c-MET, and c-KIT.
Potentially curable asymptomatic cough hemoptysis
Presenting symptoms
Usually incurable dyspnea chest pain anorexia & weight loss hoarseness bone pain Pleural effusion
Positron Emission Tomography–computed tomography The bright red/yellow masses show hypermetabolic areas of with metastases
Spine
adrenal
At diagnosis, >50% have metastases Survival; Overall (all stages) 5ys = 16% Localized disease 5ys = 45%
Survival statistics…bad.
A precursor epithelial lesion
Sq. DysplasiaSq. CIS
Atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) , Adenocarcinoma in situ
The term precursor does not imply that progression to cancer will occur in all cases
Squamous cell carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma
Dx: Radiology, Cytology & Biopsy
Cytologic smears of sputum, bronchial lavage or brushingsSquamous cell carcinoma
AdenocarcinomaAdenocarcinomas grow more slowly than Sq C ca, but tend to metastasize widely and earlier
Most common type in USA, especially in women < 45 years Usually peripheral, associated with scarring less frequently associated with a history of smoking (still, > 75% are in smokers) Sq C Ca or SC Ca(>98% in smokers).
Adenocarcinoma
aka “bronchioalveolar carcinoma”A rare type of adenocarcinoma5 year survival better (40%)Grows along existing architectureA precursor epithelial lesion. Adenocarcinoma in situAdenocarcinoma
Adenocarcinoma; involving most of the right lung
Consolidation (* ) similar to those seen with pneumonia. There is a loculated pleural effusion ( ) above the neoplasm, as seen on the leftLarge cell carcinoma
Undifferentiated carcinomas Probably represent undifferentiated Sq C Ca or adenoca.Totally different Ca.Small cells, minimal cytoplasm, “molding”strong relationship to cigarette smoking; only 1% occur in nonsmokersParaneoplastic syndromesHigh growth fraction treatment ineffectiveMedian survival (with treatment) = 1 year Small cell carcinoma
Small cell carcinoma
Small cell carcinomaSmall cell carcinoma
NSCLC & SCLC
Extension to the pleura Spread to LN, tracheal, bronchial, & mediastinal . Distant spread Adenoca & SCL Ca often spread early through the body. While Sq C Ca, metastasizes outside the thorax late
Local & Systemic Effects of Lung Tumor
Clinical Feature
Pathologic BasisPneumonia, abscess, lobar collapse
Tumor obstruction of airway
Pleural effusion
Tumor spread into pleura
Hoarseness Vocal cord paralysis
Recurrent laryngeal N. invasion
Dysphagia
Esophageal invasion
Diaphragm paralysis
Phrenic N. invasion
Pancoast syndrome
Involvement of brachial plexus
SVC syndrome
SVC compression by tumor
Horner syndrome
Sympathetic ganglia invasion
Pericarditis, tamponade
Pericardial involvement
Local Effects of Lung Tumor Spread
Superior vena cava syndrome in a person with bronchogenic Ca. swelling of his face first thing in the morning (left) and its resolution after being upright all day (right).
Pancoast syndrome
Horner syndrome; interruption of the sympathetic nerve supply to the eye, the classic triad of Miosis (constricted pupil), Anhidrosis (loss of hemifacial sweating), partial Ptosis,MAP
Pancoast syndrome
• (ADH), hyponatremia due to inappropriate ADH secretion• (ACTH), producing Cushing syndrome
• Parathormone, hypercalcemia• Calcitonin, causing hypocalcemia
• Gonadotropins, causing gynecomastia
• Serotonin and bradykinin, associated with the carcinoid syndrome
Paraneoplastic Syndromes 1% to 10%Lung Ca.Spread
Local: Pancoast tumor Neck Mediastinum SVC, Ns Distant spread Lymphatics Bl. (via pulm vein to liver, bone, brain, adrenal Non- Metastatic effectsT1
Tumor <3 cm without pleural or main stem bronchus involvement (T1a, <2 cm; T1b, 2–3 cm) T2
Tumor 3–7 cm or involvement of main stem bronchus 2 cm from carina, visceral pleural involvement, or lobar atelectasis (T2a, 3–5 cm; T2b, 5–7 cm) T3
Tumor >7 cm or one with involvement of chest wall (including superior sulcus tumors), diaphragm, mediastinal pleura, pericardium, main stem bronchus 2 cm from carina, or entire lung atelectasis, or separate tumor nodule(s) in the same lobe
T4
Tumor with invasion of mediastinum, heart, great vessels, trachea, esophagus, vertebral body, or carina or separate tumor nodules in a different ipsilateral lobe
N0
No demonstrable metastasis to regional lymph nodes
N1
Ipsilateral hilar or peribronchial nodal involvement
N2
Metastasis to ipsilateral mediastinal or subcarinal lymph nodes
N3
Metastasis to contralateral mediastinal or hilar lymph nodes, ipsilateral or contralateral scalene, or supraclavicular lymph nodes
M0
No distant metastasis
M1
Distant metastasis (M1a, separate tumor nodule in contralateral lobe or pleural nodules or malignant pleural effusion; M1b, distant metastasis)
International Staging System for Lung Cancer
Lung Tumors
SCCLimited Stage (LS); (Lung & LN) Extended stage (ES) early metastasis
NSCLC
Adenocs; slowly growing but early metast SqCCa; Rapid growing but late metastasis Large cell Ca; Slowly growing & late Metas.
Treatment
Surg. Chemotherapy Radiotherapy Target therapy to the prodcts of mutant genesBronchial carcinoid
OTHER TUMORSCoin lesions
Pulmonary hamartoma. islands of cartilage & respiratory epith.METASTATIC TUMORS
Metastases to the lungs are more common even than primary lung neoplasmsCannonball lesions
PLEURA
PLEURITIS PNEUMOTHORAX EFFUSIONS HYDRO-THORAX HEMO-THORAX CHYLO-THORAX MESOTHELIOMASMalignant tumor of mesothelial cells Most patients have had asbestos exposure Not related to smoking Highly malignant; short survival. Visceral or parietal pleura, pericardium, or peritoneum
Mesothelioma
Malignant mesothelioma
EM H&E, IMMUNOCHEMISTRYlung carcinoma. A, Gland-forming adenocarcinomaB, Well-diff. sq. c. ca. showing keratinization. C, SCLC with islands of small deeply basophilic cells D, Large cell ca., featuring pleomorphic, anaplastic tumor cells with no sq. or glandular differentiation.
