Video Rating: / 5

When you’re first diagnosed, you’ll naturally be looking at the lung cancer survival rate statistics which are undeniably daunting and bleak. Just 19% of those diagnosed at stage 4 survive more than 12 months. But now more than ever, those living with lung cancer are living better, longer lives thanks to the power of research and advancements in treatment.

It’s true that life expectancy statistics don’t paint a pretty picture, and it’s so normal to feel anxious, worried, concerned, and fearful about the future. But advances in science and research mean we’re seeing new and emerging treatments, together with greater research, and those living with lung cancer are able to participate in an increasing number of clinical trials.

Lung Foundation Australia is here to help you lead the best life you can by connecting you and your loved ones to support and care, linking you to life-saving clinical trials and supporting active participation in lung health research.

Lung Cancer Symptoms & Warning Signs

health No Comments »

Dr. Hanson explains some of the signs and symptoms of lung cancer, which include changes in cough, blood in sputum, weight change, or voice change.

David S. Hanson, MD, FACP: Let us talk for a minute about the signs and symptoms of lung cancer. Lung cancer is a very common illness and it is oftentimes seen in people who abuse cigarettes or other forms of tobacco.

So when a person has a new cough, blood in their sputum, unexplained weight loss, or changed in their voice, they need to inform the patient of this occurrence and the reason for that is, is that lung cancer is a very difficult disease to screen for.

Well, there may be data that certain patients can benefit from Annual CAT scan screening, the majority of patients will develop their cancer in between even a yearly screening and some new symptoms mandate an evaluation.

The other thing that is important to remember is that the symptoms may not seem to be related to your lungs. You may suddenly experience a lack of appetite, unexplained weight loss, new pain or swelling in an area that you do not associate with your chest.

So if you have a change in your physical health and are a smoker, in particular, you should seek an evaluation with a physician.

David S. Hanson, MD practices oncology and internal medicine in Baton Rouge and Zachary, Louisiana. Dr. Hanson graduated with an MD, 27 years ago.

This animation is from our new program http://www.YouandLungCancer.com and explains how healthy lungs function and how lung cancer can occur. Non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer are the two major types of lung cancer. Physicians use noninvasive tests and invasive tests to diagnose lung cancer. Noninvasive tests include Chest x-rays, and CT scans and PET scans. Invasive tests include Bronchoscopy; Endobronchial ultrasound; Thoracentesis; Biomarker testing; and Biopsies, such as Fine needle aspiration (or FNA), Core needle biopsy, and surgical lung biopsy. Physicians need lung cancer staging information to plan treatment. Lung cancer is classified into numerous stages – the higher the stage the more advanced the spread of the cancer and typically the more aggressive the treatment. In Stage 0 cancer it is only the top layers of cells in the lining of air passages in the lungs. This is the easiest stage to treat with highest survivorship. Stage IV lung cancer is the most difficult to treat, having spread to the other lung, the lymph nodes outside the lungs, and other parts of the body.
