5 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Trumbull Memorial Hospital Cancer Committee Chairman s 2014 Annual Report The Cancer Committee continues to seek ways to improve the care of the cancer patient at Trumbull Memorial Hospital. The committee members includes a team of dedicated professionals within the specialty areas of Oncologic Surgery, Pathology, Radiology, Medical Oncology, and Radiation Oncology. Additional team members include representatives from Hospital Administration, Nursing Services, Physical Therapy, Nutritional Therapy, Social Services, Hospice Care, Pastoral Care, and the American Cancer Society. The TMH Cancer Program continuously strives to meet, and exceed, the accreditation standards by the American College of Surgeons Commission of Cancer. In 2013, the Commission on Cancer again awarded our program a Certification of Approve with the Commendation. Areas of performance receiving commendation included registrar education, reporting of outcomes, pathology reporting, nursing care, and abstracting timeliness. The TMH Cancer Program has maintained its unblemished accreditation for 31 consecutive years. From an education standpoint, the Cancer Committee continues to plan and oversee bimonthly tumor conferences, organize annual Cancer Symposiums, and assist the American Cancer Society in providing awareness and screening programs to the general public. The TMH Tumor Registry, under the supervision of Connie Wagoner CTR, RHIT, identified 484 new cancer cases at our institution in Statistics derived from these cases have been forwarded to the Ohio Cancer Incidence Surveillance System and National Cancer Institute Database for comparison with data derived from previous years and to compare our data with other accredited cancer programs. In comparison to national averages, the Mahoning Valley has maintained a high incidence of lung cancer among its residents. This year, we have provided the demographic, diagnostic, treatment, and survival statistics for all lung cancer diagnosed and treated at Trumbull Memorial Hospital in Dr. Roger Tokars, a TMH Radiation Oncologist, has provided an excellent overview and interpretation of the lung cancer data in this Annual Report. The committee wishes to thank the TMH medical staff, hospital staff, administration, and local community for their continued support of the Cancer Program. Robert C. Bennett, MD Chairman, Cancer Committee, Trumbull Memorial Hospital 5

Trumbull Memorial Hospital's breast incidence includes in-situ cases (36). The incidence for invasive breast cancer is 17.1% (83 cases). In 2013 TMH had a higher incidence of lung cancer than the USA and Ohio; however, it has decreased from 2012, TMH has implemented the lung nurse navigator program and hopefully this will decrease lung cancer incidence even further. In 2013 the incidence of prostate cancer continues to be lower than the USA and Ohio which include prostate cancer cases from urologists' offices and other hospitals. 7

12 2014 In-Depth Report LUNG CANCER Lung cancer is a cancer that usually starts in the lining of the bronchi (the main airways of the lungs), but can also begin in other areas of the lungs including the bronchioles, or alveoli. It is the second most common cancer in both men and women, but is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women. The American Cancer Society estimates 224,210 new cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed in 2014, with 159,260 deaths. Each year more people die of lung cancer than colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined. About 2 out of 3 lung cancers diagnosed are in people 65 years of age or older, with the average age being 70. Only 2% of all cases are in those 45 or younger. In 2013 Trumbull Memorial Hospital (TMH) had a higher incidence of new lung cancer cases (17.6%) than the United States (13.5%), and the State of Ohio (14.6%). Lung cancers are generally divided into 2 types: non-small cell lung cancer (squamous / adenocarcinoma / large cell carcinomas) which accounts for 85% to 90% of all lung cancers, and small cell carcinoma. The risk factors for lung cancer include smoking (80% of lung cancer deaths are a result of smoking), second hand smoke, radon, asbestos exposure, talc, cancer causing agents in the work place, personal or family history of lung cancer, and air pollution. DIAGNOSIS In addition to a complete history and physical to assess for risk factors and symptoms, there are multiple diagnostic tests to assist in the diagnosis of lung cancer. We depend on our Radiologists, Pathologists, Pulmonologists and Cardiothoracic Surgeons to assist us in this team effort. Chest x-ray, CT scans, and or PET scans are useful imaging procedures. Following radiological suspicion of lung cancer, the diagnosis must be confirmed with tissue. This can be achieved by needle biopsy, bronchoscopy (a flexible tube into the airways), mediastinoscopy (an incision to sample lymph nodes along the wind pipe), thoracoscopy (an incision in the side of the chest to insert a camera and look for suspicious areas), or thoracentesis (a needle placed into the chest to remove fluid). Trumbull Memorial Hospital has a Lung Cancer Screening program using advanced technology of low-dose CT scanners that produce exceptional images for the detection of lung cancer. The National Cancer Institute has demonstrated that the use of this screening in high risk individuals (includes age and smoking history) can help reduce the chance of lung cancer deaths. TREATMENT Specific treatment for lung cancer is determined by the type and extent of the cancer as well as age, overall medical condition, anticipated tolerance to treatment, and the person s preference or opinion. Many people get a combination of therapies or multimodality treatment. The treating members of the Lung Cancer Team include the Cardiothoracic Surgeon, the Medical Oncologist, and the Radiation Oncologist. Treatment for lung cancer will include one or more of the following: Surgery The surgeon can remove a small piece of lung, a whole lobe, or the entire lung on the affected side. This is usually done on earlier stage cancers. In % of diagnosed lung cancers at TMH received surgery as part or all of their treatment. Radiation Therapy High-energy radiation is precisely sent to cancer cells from a linear accelerator. 42% of those diagnosed with lung cancer at TMH received radiation as a portion of their treatment in Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) utilized at TMH is capable of delivering a higher dose of radiation to the tumor while limiting the side effects. Chemotherapy Anticancer drugs are used to treat cancerous cells, usually interfering with the cells ability to grow or reproduce. There are many different drugs or combinations of drugs. Each individuals plan is determined by their oncologist. In % of those diagnosed at TMH had chemotherapy included as part of their plan. Targeted therapy These are drugs that target specific parts of cancer cells or nearby cells that help them grow (i.e. blood vessels). They can be used alone or in combination with chemotherapy. PROGNOSIS As with most cancers, early diagnosis and treatment greatly improve survival. At TMH the 5 year survival rate for earlier stage I and II lung cancers is 33% - 44%, but only 3% -6% in late stage III and IV diagnoses. Overall survival in non-small cell lung cancer for all stages at TMH is 5.7% compared to 6% in the entire United States. The best way to improve these statistics is to stop smoking.
