Kuliah kanker paru bronchogenic carcinoma

• A focus of metastatic
carcinoma from breast is
seen on the pleural surface
of the lung. Such pleural
metastases may lead to
pleural effusions, including
hemorrhagic effusions, and
pleural fluid cytology can
often reveal the malignant
cells.



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.
Asbestosis more commonly predisposes to

bronchogenic carcinomas, increasing the
risk by a factor of five. Smoking increases
the risk for lung cancer by a factor of ten.
Thus, smokers with a history of asbestos
exposure have a risk 50 fold greater
likelihood of for developing lung cancer.

• 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
diagnose cytologically.

New targeted therapy
for lung cancer
Cancer cells may have receptor for EGF, which then sends
signals to the nucleus, causing
cells to proliferate, invade the
surroundings, metastasize,
and make new blood vessels.
EGFR inhibitors drugs can
block this process, resulting
in clinical improvement and
better prognosis

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
• As support to diagnosis, but not decisive.

What We Need to Be Aware of
 Mangunnegoro:

43% of lung cancer patients were

previously diagnosed as pulmonaryTb
 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
A male smoker patient in
cancer age, diagnosed as
pneumonia or smear negative pulmonary TB,

Not responding to an
adequate treatment
within 1-2 weeks
should be evaluated for the
possibility of lung ca ncer



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 weeks
Anamnesis
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

If the patient complains of no improvement
do not feel offended,
continue assessment towards lung cancer

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
suspected for tumor.
