Chest pain------ 40% from bony metastasis or pleural involvement .
LOCAL SPREAD----preesure by the mass over the surrounding structures or
spread to them----from the lymph node 2ry or the mass causing
endobronchial obstruction and postobstructive pneumonia (( unresolving
or recurrent )) .Lung cancer is one of the causes of unresolving pneumonia
or persistent lung opacity in smoker male 50yr.
B. Pressure symptoms:
Esophagus ---dysphagia
Trachea ---- stridor , change of the voice , hoarsness
Recurrent laryngeal nerve----- hoarsness of voice
C. Superior vena cava obstruction:
Caused by partial or complete obstruction of SVC.
C/F
Swelling of the face and neck
Headache ,dizziness ,syncope
Visual disturbance
Facial flushing
Dilated anterior chest wall veins or collateral veins
Brawny eodema
Cyanosis of the face and arms Bending over or laying down accentuates symptoms.
D/D OF SVC OBSTRUCTION:
1. Superior mediastinal tumors:
Lung ca. , thyroid ca. ,thymoma ,lymphoma ,teratoma , angiosarcoma
2. Aneurysm of the aortic arch
3. Chronic fibrotic mediastinitis---TB ,histoplasmosis ,pyogenic ,methysergide.
4. Constrictive pericarditis
5. Thrombophlebitis 2ry to CVL or pacemaker wire.

TREATMENT OF SVC:
1) Surgery
2) Chemotherapy
3) External beam radiation
4) Endovascular stenting
5) Venous angioplasty or bypassHorners syndrome-----pancoasts tumour:
Pancoasttumorsare lung cancers that begin at the top of the right or left lung and
invade the chest wall. They are also called superior sulcustumors . Apical lung
cancer with invasion of cervical sympathetic chain plexus resulting in:
1. Miosis (( constricted pupil ))
2. Enophthalmos (( sunken eye ))
3. Partial ptosis
4. Ipsilateral loss of sweating (( anhidrosis))
Pancoast tumor causes shoulder ,arm pain (( brachial plexus )) , C8T2 invasion.
Pain in the shoulder, radiating down the upper inner arm, can be the first sign of a
Pancoast tumor. The patient may have Hoarse of voice or bovine cough with
unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy and vocal cord paralysis.
D. The patient may present with evidence of metastasis to other systems

Brainsevere headache of recent onset in elder smoker male, convulsion
in a patient above age of 40y with lung opacity in smoker , coma ,gradual
onset of limb weakness of month duration in elder male smoker.
Liver --- vague abdominal pain ,abdominal mass , jaundice.
Adrenal ---lose of weight and apetite with hypoglycemia .
E. Paraneoplastic syndrome:A paraneoplastic syndrome is adisease orsymptom that is the consequence ofcancer in
the body but, unlikemass effect,is not due to the local presence of cancer cells. These
phenomena are mediated byhumoral factors (byhormones orcytokines)excreted by
tumor cells or by animmune response against thetumor.Paraneoplastic syndromes are
typical among middle aged to older patients, and they most commonly present with
cancers of thelung,breast,ovaries or lympSMALL CELL CARCINOMAhatic system
(alymphoma).Sometimes the symptoms of paraneoplastic syndromes show before the
diagnosis of amalignancy,which has been hypothesized to relate to the disease
pathogenesis.
Commonly seen in small cell lung carcinoma. The patient will show dysfunction of the
central nervous system and endocrine system with out metastasis.

5. Subacute cerebellar degeneration
6. Encephalitis
7. Subacute necrotizing myelopathy
8. Dermatomyositis
9. Subacute motor neuronopathy
1.Peripheral neuropathy is the most common neurologic paraneoplastic syndrome. It is usually adistal sensorimotor polyneuropathy that causes mild motor weakness, sensory loss, and absent
distal reflexes.
2.Subacute sensory neuropathy is a more specific but rare peripheral neuropathy. Dorsal root
ganglia degeneration and progressive sensory loss with ataxia but little motor weakness develop;
the disorder may be disabling. Anti-Hu, an autoantibody, is found in the serum of some patients
with lung cancer. There is no treatment .

3.Guillain-Barr syndrome, another ascending peripheral neuropathy, is a rare finding in the
general population and probably more common in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma.
4.Eaton-Lambert syndrome is an immune-mediated, myasthenia-like syndrome with weakness
usually affecting the limbs and sparing ocular and bulbar muscles. It is presynaptic, resulting
from impaired release of acetylcholine from nerve terminals. An IgG antibody is involved. The
syndrome can precede, occur with, or develop after the diagnosis of cancer. It occurs mostcommonly in men with intrathoracic tumors (70% have small or oat cell lung carcinoma).
Symptoms and signs include fatigability, weakness, pain in proximal limb muscles, peripheral
paresthesias, dry mouth, erectile dysfunction, and ptosis. Deep tendon reflexes are reduced or
lost. The diagnosis is confirmed by finding an incremental response to repetitive nerve
stimulation: Amplitude of the compound muscle action potential increases > 200% at rates > 10
Hz. Treatment is first directed at the underlying cancer and sometimes induces
remission. Guanidine (initially 125 mg po qid, gradually increased to a maximum of 35 mg/kg),
which facilitates acetylcholine release, often lessens symptoms but may depress bone marrow
and liver function. Corticosteroids and plasma exchange benefit some patients .
5.Subacute cerebellar degeneration causes progressive bilateral leg and arm ataxia, dysarthria,and sometimes vertigo and diplopia. Neurologic signs may include dementia with or without brain
stem signs, ophthalmoplegia, nystagmus, and extensor plantar signs, with prominent dysarthria
and arm involvement. Cerebellar degeneration usually progresses over weeks to months, often
causing profound disability. Cerebellar degeneration may precede the discovery of the cancer by
weeks to years. Anti-Yo, a circulating autoantibody, is found in the serum or CSF of some
patients, especially women with breast or ovarian cancer. MRI or CT may show cerebellar atrophy,
especially late in the disease. Characteristic pathologic changes include widespread loss of
Purkinje cells and lymphocytic cuffing of deep blood vessels. CSF occasionally has mild
lymphocytic pleocytosis. Treatment is nonspecific, but some improvement may follow successful
cancer therapy.
6.Encephalitis may occur as a paraneoplastic syndrome, taking several different forms,
depending on the area of the brain involved.
1. Global encephalitis has been proposed to explain the encephalopathy that occurs most
commonly in small cell lung cancer.
2. Limbic encephalitis is characterized by anxiety and depression, leading to memory loss,
agitation, confusion, hallucinations, and behavioral abnormalities.
Anti-Hu antibodies, directed against RNA binding proteins, may be present in the serum
and spinal fluid. MRI may disclose areas of increased contrast uptake and edema .
7.Subacute necrotizing myelopathy is a rare syndrome in which rapid ascending sensory and
motor loss occurs in gray and white matter of the spinal cord, leading to paraplegia. MRI helps

rule out epidural compression from metastatic tumora much more common cause of rapidly
progressive spinal cord dysfunction in patients with cancer. MRI may show necrosis in the spinal
cord.
C. Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is prominent with certain lung cancers and manifests aspainful swelling of the joints (knees, ankles, wrists, elbows, metacarpophalangeal joints) with
effusion and sometimes fingertip clubbing.
SIGNS:
Cachexia , Anemia ,Lymphadenopathysuparclavicular and axillary ,clubbing .
Ptosis with atrophy of small muscles of hand on the same side , enophthalmos if apical
Chest ---- may be normal , or signs of consolidation ,or pleural effusion or collapse
Situation in which lung cancer should be a high suspicion:
1. Unexplained unilateral pleural effusion of 2 month in elder smoker
2. Unresolving signs of lung consolidation of 1 month duration
INVESTIGATION:
Routine --- CBC ,RFT ,LFT, BLOOD SUGER ,S. CALCIUM , LDH ,ALP
CBC--- complete blood count
RFT ----renal function test
LFT----liver function test
LDH---lactic dehydrogenase
ALP----alkaline phosphokinase
1. Sputum cytology---highly specific but insensitive
2. Serum tumor markers ----are neither sensitive nor specific
3. Tissue or cytology specimen is needed for diagnosis.
Tissue diagnosis may not necessary prior to surgery in some cases where the
lesion is enlarging or the patient will undergo Surgical resection regardless of the
outcome of biopsy
4. Pulmonary function tests are required in all NSLC patients prior to surgery.
Preoperative FEV1 2 L is adequate to undergo surgery.
Estimate of postresection FEV1 is needed if 2L preoperative.

CT scan of chest through the adrenal glands :
May not be necessary if patient has obvious M1 disease
IV iodine contrast enhancement is not essential but is recommended in probable
mediastinal invasion.
Is the most important modality in staging to determine the resectibility of thetumour.
For staging ,Brain MRI , Abdominal CT or radionuclide bone scanning should be
targeted to symptoms and signs.
Recommended tests for selected patients:
1. Ultra sound liver/CT liver with contrast
Abnormal clinical evaluation
Increased LFT
Abnormal non contrast CT

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES:
1. Bronchoscopy---tissue diagnosis(10%90%) and operability
2. Percutaneous fine needle aspiration---sensitivity 50%--90% for peripheral lesionsand superficial lymph nodes.
3. Thoracocentesis can be diagnostic in malignant effusion ((65%))
4. Thoracoscopy ---is preferred to pleural biopsy if pleural fluid cytology non
diagnostic after two thoracocentensis
5. Mediastinoscopy
