Lung cancer is a malignant lung tumor characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in lung tissues. The main types are small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which is the most common type. NSCLC can be further classified as adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or large cell carcinoma. Lung cancer is caused by smoking, asbestos, air pollution, and genetics. Common symptoms include cough, sputum production, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Treatment depends on the stage of cancer but may include chemotherapy with drugs like cisplatin, carboplatin, paclitaxel, docetaxel, and others.

4. INTRODUCTION
 LUNG CANCER is a malignant lung tumor characterized
by uncontrolled cell growth tissues of the lung.
 If left untreated this growth can spread beyond the lung by
the process of metastasis in to nearby tissue or other parts
of the body.

NON –SMALL CELL LUNG
CANCER
LARGE CELL
CARCINOMA

6. SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER
 It generally starts in one of the large breathing
tubes ,grows fairly rapidly and is likely to be large
by the time of diagnosis.
 Spreads more quickly and aggressively
6

7. NON –SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER
 Most common type
 About 80-85% are NSCLA
 Grows more slowly
 FURTHER CLASSIFIED INTO FOLLOWING:
1. EPIDERMOID CARCINOMA:
 30-35% of lung cancer
 Arise from bronchial epithelium
 Slow growth
7

8. CONTINUATION……
2. Adenocarcinoma :
 25-30% of lung cancer
 Arise from bronchiole mucus gland
 Slow growth
3.Large cell carcinoma
 10-20% of lung cancer
 Slow metastasis may occur to kidney , liver and
adrenals

 Smoking
 Asbestos
 Air pollution
 Genetics

12. STAGES OF CANCER
 T0: There is no evidence of a primary tumor.
 T1: The tumor is not larger than 3 centimeters not reached
PLEURA
 T2: The tumor has 1 or more larger than 3cm across but
not larger than 7cm. BROCHUS
 T3:The tumor has 1 or more of the following features, it is
larger than 7 cm across CHEST WALL
 T4:The cancer has 1 or more a tumor of any size has
grown in to the space between the lungs. 12

13. MANANGEMENT
 Photodynamic therapy
 Thoracentesis
 Laser therapy
 Chemotherapy 13

14. NAME OF DRUGS WHICH USED IN CANCER
THERAPY
 NITROGEN MUSTRAD Cyclophosphamide
 FOLIC ACID ANALOGS Methotrexate
 VINCA ALKALOIDS Vincristine
 TAXANES Docetaxel
 ANTIBIOTICS Doxorubicin
Name Of Agent DRUGS

15. CONCLUSION
 While lung cancer remains a very challenging
cancer to treat, new treatment that capitalize on
advances in our understanding of cancer .
combination therapies will provide better results in
the future.
