Distribution by stage
Symptoms
Symptomatic patients invariably have advanced disease Cough
Breathlessness
Coughing up blood
Persistent chest infections
Lethargy
Weight loss
Hoarse voice
Chest pains
Many patients with early stage disease have no
symptoms
Risk Factors
Smoking history (80%)
Passive Smoking
Previous asbestos exposure
Age
Family History
Ionizing Radiation
Environmental carcinogens
Radon, chemicals, pollution,

Royal Papworth Thoracic Oncology
1400 referrals per annum:
700 new lung cancers – 40% early stage
80 cases Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
300 metastatic disease from extra-thoracic primary
320 non-malignant pathology
Each year:
200 undergo surgical resection (Papworth)
110 receive radical (chemo) radiotherapy (CUH)
200 receive palliative chemotherapy (DGHs)

Why is accurate staging important?
Choose most appropriate treatment
Predict survival
TNM Classification (8th edition)T
T1
Tumour ≤ 3cm in greatest dimension, surrounded by lung or visceral pelura (1)without bronchoscopic evidence of invasion more proximal than the lobar bronchus (2)
T1a: Tumour ≤ 2cm in greatest dimension
T1b: Tumour > 2cm but ≤ 3cm in greatest dimension
T2
Tumour > 3cm but ≤ 7cm (1) or tumour that-involves main bronchus, ≥ 2cm distal to the carina (2)-invades visceral pleura (3)-associated with atelectasis or obstructive pneumonitis that extends to the hilar region but does not involve the entire lung (4)
T2a: Tumour > 3cm but ≤ 5cm in greatest dimension
T2b: Tumour > 5cm but ≤ 7cm in greatest dimension
Metastasis to ipsilateral peribronchial or hilar nodes
Metastasis to ipsilateral mediastinal or subcarinal nodes
Metastasis to contralateral mediastinal / hilar or scalene / supraclavicular nodes
TNM staging table 8th edition
Treatments
Surgical resection (15%) Stage 1,2
Radical radiotherapy (5-10%) Stage 1,2
Chemoradiotherapy (10-15%) Stage 3a
Palliative treatments (75-80%) Stage 3b, 4 Chemotherapy
Molecularly targeted therapies
Palliative radiotherapy
Active supportive care
Radical radiotherapy options
Useful if patient has limited disease that can be encompassed in a radiotherapy field but,
Does not want an operation
Is not fit for an operation
Limited lung function
Other co-morbidities eg IHD, CVD, PVD
Standard radical radiotherapy 55Gy in 20 fractions over 4 weeks
Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) 20Gy in 5 fractions
STEREOTACTIC ABLATIVE RADIOTHERAPY
Palliative treatment options
Chemotherapy as primary treatment Not curative; aimed at alleviating symptoms
Improve survival by a few months
Radiotherapy Give 1 or 2 fractions for a specific reason
Haemoptysis, bone pain, brain metastases, skin metastases, SVCO.
Molecular targeted therapies
Squamous cell carcinoma
PDL1 estimation
Non-squamous carcinoma
EGFR sensitizing
EML4-Alk
Ros1
PDL1
Why can’t we offer more patients curative
treatment?
Advanced disease at presentation
Poor performance status/frail
Co-morbidities (IHD, CVA, PVD, Renal impairment)
Poor lung function - COPD
Integrated clinical and research service
Each year 40-50% of Papworth lung cancer patients
enter a clinical study (compared with 10% nationally)
Particular focus on early detection of lung cancer
Cancer Research UK priority
Cambridge designated as an early detection hub
