• A focus of metastatic
• The dense white encircling tumor mass is
arising from the visceral pleura and is a mesothelioma. These are big bulky tumors that can fill the chest cavity.The risk factor for mesothelioma is asbestos exposure. However, mesothelioma is rare even in persons with asbestos exposure.
•
Mesotheliomas have
either spindle cells or
plump rounded cells
forming gland-like
configurations, as seen
here at high power
microscopically. They
are very difficult to

Treatment modalities for lung cancer
•
Scalpel: surgery
•
Beam: radiotherapy
•
Drugs: chemotherapy,
new targeted therapy
General approach NSCLC
0.00
Survival of lung cancer after surgery
New targeted therapy
for lung cancer
The role clinical laboratory examination
•
As support to treatment: hematology,
organ function (especially liver, blood,
kidney)
•
Tumor markers: CEA, SCC, Cyfra 21.1,
NSE may indicate treatment failure,
recurrent or metastasis
Mangunnegoro:
43%
of lung cancer patients were
previously diagnosed as pulmonary
Tb
Taufik:
38% of lung cancer patients have
been treated as pulmonary
Tb when
the diagnosis of lung cancer was
established.
What We Need to Be Aware of
Not responding to an
adequate treatment
within 1-2 weeks
A male smoker patient in
cancer age,
diagnosed as
pneumonia or smear
negat-ive pulmonary TB,
What We Need to Be Aware of
•
The esponse to treatment in a smer negative Tb ptnt must be assessed
clinically
in the 1st 2 weeksAnamnesis
is very important to detect improvement *is the patient feeling better? * is
fever subsiding* *is appetite reappearing? Is cough decreasing?
Adequate verbal contact is mandatory, just drug prescribingdrugs is not enough
What We Need to Be Aware of frequently neglected symptoms & signs
Beware!
persistent pain

Beware!
persisten pain in the shoulder
and/arm plus a lesion on the apex
of the lung
Look for signs:
paresthesia, paresis
myosis, ptosis,
enophtalmos
(brachial plexsus syndrome.
Pancoast syndrome)
What We Need to Be Aware of
frequently neglected symptoms &
signs
• Severe
headache or signs of stroke
may indicate
cerebral metastasis from lung cancer
•
Chest x-ray film must be made
before brain surgery.• Lung cancer is often found after extirpat-ion of brain lesion
