LUNG CANCER

QuestionAnswer
LUNG CANCER STATS #2 most common cancer in men and women #1 cancer in mortality
Lung cancer RF Tobacoo, asbestos, Radon, ionizing radiation, occupation of rock mining or coal tars, diet, genetic predisposition
Highest to lowest cancer risk per smoking modality 1. cigarettes 2. heat non- burn devices 3. e-cigarrettes 4. Nicotine inhalers
Most common type of LC ADENOCARINOMA followed by squamous cell carcinoma, then large cell carinoma and small cell lung cancer
Prevention of lung cancer SMOKING CESSATION - test home for radon
Benefits of quitting smoking - normal BP after 20 min - MI risk decreases after 8 hours - MI risk reduces in half after a year - Lung cancer risk cut in half after 10 years
Screening for LC - GENERAL POP: no screening proven to provide benefit - HIGH RISK GROUP (all must be present) * Age 50-80, ≥20 pack year smoker, Active smoker or quit <15 years ago Screen patients with LOW DOSE HELICAL CT
Clinical Presentation of Lung Cancer s/sx: cough (most common), weight loss, dyspnea, chest pain, hemoptysis syndromes: horners, superior vena cava, pancoasts Metastases: sites are bone, BRAIN, liver, LN, adrenal glands. SCLC 60-70% with mets and NSCLC 50% present with mets Paraneoplastic syndromes: SIADH, hypercalcemia, anemia, cancer related cachexia, acanthosis nigrans MORE COMMON W/ SCLC
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) Most aggressive clinical course if untreated, tied to smoking, paraneoplastic syndromes, highly sensitive to chemo and radiation
SCLC Staging Limited stage: - LIMITED TO ONE HEMITHORAX AND REGIONAL LN ARE CONTAINED WITH XRT ANY T, N, M0 EXCEPT bulky T3-T4 that cannot be safely radiated (contained to the chest) Extensive Stage SCLC: Any M1, N, T, T-3-T4 (distant metastasis) or bulky/unresectable T3-T4, disease spread beyond chest
LIMITED SCLC Treatment types limited: Surgery ONLY for T1-T2 tumors and no nodal involvement, XRT and chemo! Limited: XRT + CHEMO - Cisplatin + etoposide for 4 cycles (preferred) ALT: Carboplatin + etoposide...only sub for carbo if Cis is CI or poorly tolerated NO GROWTH FACTORS WHILE ON XRT give consolidation therapy with durvalumab Q 28 days up to 24 mos or until disease recurrence
EXTENSIVE SCLC EXTENSIVE: chemo + XRT EXTENSIVE CHEMO: - Carboplatin (AUC 5) + etoposide + a check point inhibitor (PICK 1) - atezolizumab - durvalumab After 4 cycles of chemo continue check point inhibitors indefinitely you can replace ATEZO with lurbinectedin if pt relapses but ONLY if on Atezolizumab previously
CALVERT FORMULA AUC * (CrCl + 25) = Dose (mg) used to calculate dose of carboplatin based on AUC/ renal fx
TXT for Recurrent SCLC ≤6 mos: Tarlatamab-dlle >6 mos: original regimen w or w/o immunotherapy
Stage of NSCLC + Treatment Stage IA: surgery only Stage IB - IIB: surgery + chemo Stage IIIA: Surgery + XRT + Chemo Stage IIIB: XRT + Chemo Stage IV: Chemo only
NEOADJUVANT Treatment for RESECTABLE NSCLC (II-IIA) checkpoint inhibitor + Platinum-doublet chemo ***If pt is not eligible for check point inhibitor then chemo only check point inhibitors = Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab, Durvalumab Platinum-doublet chemos: - cisplatin + gemcitabine (use if squamous histology) - Cistplatin + paclitaxel (any histology) - Cisplatin + pemetrexed (nonsquamous histology)
ADJUVANT treatment for resectable NSCLC (II-IIIA) if not prior treatment give: cisplatin + gemcitabine (squamous) - Cistplatin + docetaxel (squaomous) - Cisplatin + pemetrexed (nonsquamous histology) THEN CHOOSE 1: Alectnib, Osimertinib, Atezolizumab, Pembrolizumab
UNRESECTABLE Lung Cancer Stage III 1st: Chemoradiation (pick 1): * Cisplatin + Pemetrexed (nonsquamous) * Paclitaxel + Carboplatin (any histology) * Cisplatin + Etoposide (any hist) 2nd: Consolidation (pick 1): *Osimertinib until disease progression or EGFR deletion * Durvalumab every 2 weeks up to 12 mos
NSCLC Stage IV UNFIT Pt (ALK REARRANGEMENT) Alectinib, Brigatinib, Lorlatinib or Ensartinib
NSCLC Stage IV UNFIT Pt (ROS1) Entrectinib or Crizotinib or Repotrectinib
NSCLC Stage IV UNFIT Pt (EGFR MUTATION) Osimertnib or Afatinib
NSCLC Stage IV UNFIT Pt (BRAF V600E) Dabrafenib + Trametinib or Encorafenib + Binimetinib
NSCLC Stage IV UNFIT Pt (NTRK GENE FUSION) Entrectinib or Larotrectinib or Bepotrectinib
NSCLC Stage IV UNFIT Pt (MET ex14 skipping mutation) Capmatinib or Tepotinib
NSCLC Stage IV UNFIT Pt (RET rearrangement) Selpercatinib or Pralsetinib
NSCLC Stage IV UNFIT Pt (PDL1 expression ≥50%) Pembrolizumab or Atezolizumab or Cemiplimab-rwlc
