squamous cell carcinoma in men
important
LOW risk for lung cancer?
MEDIUM risk for lung cancer?
HIGH risk for lung cancer? CORRECT ANSWERS
LOW:
<50 years old AND/OR <20 year pack hx
(quitting for 15 years reduces risk further)
MEDIUM:
Age 50 years old AND >20 pack year hx (or second-hand smoke exposure)
(no additional risk factors)
HIGH (there's 2):
1. 55-74 years old AND >30 year pack hx AND smoking cessation <15 years
2. >50 AND >20 pack year hx AND one additional risk factor (not second hand smoke)
Lung cancer death is higher than what three cancers combined? CORRECT ANSWERS
breast
prostate
colon
5+ years after diagnosis, how many lung cancer survivors are there? CORRECT ANSWERS

Risk factors for lung cancer:
#1 and #2
And what percentages do they make up of lung cancer? CORRECT ANSWERS
#1 = cigarette smoking (~80%)
#2 = radon exposure (~6%), basements
Leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers? CORRECT ANSWERS
radon exposure
Main agent that cause of mesothelioma? CORRECT ANSWERS
Asbestos
What is the increased risk of getting lung cancer from second-hand smoke, compared with average
population? CORRECT ANSWERS
2x increase risk of lung cancer
(relative risk = RR of 1.24)
Comparing smoking TO smoking+asbestos,
what is the increased risk of lung cancer? CORRECT ANSWERS
3x increase risk of lung cancer if you're a smoker and asbestos exposure compared to just a smoker
Current smoking rate in United States (USA)? CORRECT ANSWERS
14% in 2019
NCCN (national comprehensive cancer network) said that tobacco consumption poses a "_________
threat" and that the leading cause of cancer is "promoted by an industry" CORRECT ANSWERS
mortal threat

Is radiation less effective for cancer treatment in smoker? CORRECT ANSWERS
yes, increased pain
Yes, radiation is less effective if you smoke

Yes,
The EGFR mutation decreases with smoking = less/not effective treatments like Tarceva
Is you smoke marijuana/weed/cannabis or cocaine/crack, is there a similar damage that occurs?
CORRECT ANSWERS
Yes, similar damage.
Changes in the bronchial epithelium that are similar to the metaplastic alterations in tobacco smokers
Regarding inflammation:
What elevated lab is associated with lung cancer? (what level)? CORRECT ANSWERS
What condition and medication for that condition is associated with LOWER association with lung
cancer?
CRP >3mg/dL = increased risk for lung cancer
Pts with COPD on corticosteroid = decreased risk of lung cancer
Since lung cancer is associated with inflamamtion, what are four "benign lung diseases" that increase
inflammation? CORRECT ANSWERS
1. pulmonary fibrosis
2. obstructive disease (ie. COPD)
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
4. TB
Dietary risk of lung cancer? CORRECT ANSWERS
low antioxidant
low flavonoids (they are protective from food, not supplements)
low cruciferous veg (they are protective)
low vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
low dietary phytoestrogens (they are protective)
What B vitamin is associated with lower risk of lung cancer (in men)? CORRECT ANSWERS
vitamin b6 (pyridoxine), and methionine
(related to 1-carbon metabolism, helps maintain DNA integrity, and regulates gene expression)
If you smoke, what nutrient should you reduce to decrease risk of lung cancer? CORRECT ANSWERS
beta-carotene
20-30mg risk
