Objective: Discuss trends in lung cancer incidence and survival in lung cancer. SCLC, 15% Majr grups: Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and Nn -Small Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Significant differences in pathlgy, clinical curse, and treatment Epidemilgy: NSCLC 85% 2 nd mst cmmn cause f cancer Figure 1. Histlgical distributin f lung cancer 1 st mst cmmn cause f death due t cancer Significant decline in incidence/mrtality fr African American and White Males; Increase in incidence/mrtality fr females f bth races. Surce fr incidence and mrtality data: Surveillance, Epidemilgy, and End Results (SEER) Prgram and the Natinal Center fr Health Statistics.

2 LUNG CANCER SCREENING Cntrversial rle and future directins Objective: Discuss current recmmendatins and cntrversies surrunding lung cancer screening. Current Cntrversy Survival increases with early detectin (ie earlier stage) U.S. preventive services task Frce (USPSTF) recmmends against ppulatin based screening (full text available at Ratinale: insufficient evidence fr screening f asymptmatic persns with Rating: I Recmmendatin: lw dse cmputerized tmgraphy (LDCT) chest x-ray (CXR) sputum cytlgy -r a cmbinatin f these tests. Screening strategies decreased mrtality Risks: Invasive nature & false-psitive tests in certain ppulatins Therefre, the USPSTF culd nt determine the balance between the benefits and harms f screening fr lung cancer Research Directins is lung cancer screening in ur future? Natinal Lung Screening Trial (NLST, ACRIN A6554) N= 53,000 current r frmer smkers Objective: risk/benefit f lw-dse spiral CT vs. Chest X-ray Data: (Nvember 4, 2010) - final data is as yet unpublished, cmments belw based n NCI press release date 11/1/2010.
