MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: You or someone you care about may have been diagnosed with lung cancer. This video will help you understand more about lung cancer and how it affects your body. Your lungs are a pair of organs inside your chest that allow you to breathe. You inhale oxygen, which all cells need. Then you exhale a waste gas called carbon dioxide. This gas exchange happens inside tiny air sacs in your lungs. Lung cancer is a disease in which normal lung cells change into harmful abnormal cells called cancer cells. Cancer cells multiply to form clusters called tumors. These tumors grow and destroy healthy lung tissue. Lung cancer may spread to other parts of your body through blood or lymph fluid-- a natural substance that helps gather unwanted waste material from your body. There are two main types of lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. They are named for the kinds of cells in the cancer, and how they look under a microscope. Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is the most aggressive type of lung cancer. It grows and spreads more quickly. The most important risk factor for lung cancer is smoking. Other risk factors include breathing secondhand smoke, exposure to radon, having a family history of lung cancer, HIV infection, exposure to harmful chemicals, such as asbestos, and air pollution. Lung cancer may have no symptoms in its early stages. When symptoms do appear, they may include chronic cough, chest pain, trouble breathing, coughing up blood, ****seness, loss of appe****e, trouble swallowing, weight loss, tiredness, and facial or neck swelling. If you have lung cancer, your doctor will need to determine the stage or progression of the disease to help plan your treatment. Non-small cell lung cancer has many stages. In the occult stage, cancer cells are found only in lung fluids. In Stage 0, abnormal or cancer cells are found in the lining of the airways. By Stage 1, a small tumor is found. Then in Stage 2, the cancer has grown or spread to nearby lymph nodes or non-lung tissues. In Stage 3A, the tumor has grown to any size. In addition, cancer is found in lymph nodes on the same side of the chest or in nearby organs. Stage 3B is similar to 3A. But in 3B, cancer is found in lymph nodes on the opposite side of the chest. Cancer may also be found in lymph nodes above the collarbone. In Stage 4, tumors might be found in both lungs. Additionally, cancer may have spread to distant organs. There are fewer stages for small cell lung cancer. In its limited stage, cancer is found in one side of the chest only. In the extensive stage, cancer has spread to the other side of the chest or to distant organs. As you deal with a diagnosis of lung cancer, continue to talk to your doctor and your cancer care team.

Knowing the key symptoms of lung cancer are can help find it early and mean treatment is more likely to be successful. These symptoms can be caused by something much less serious than cancer. But they could be cancer so see your GP if you have any of them. They include a persistent cough or a change in a cough, shortness of breath and blood in phlegm.Find out more

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.

PCRI's Alex and Medical Oncologist Mark Scholz, MD, give a survey of newly diagnosed Gleason 4+3=7 prostate cancer in light of the recent introduction of PSMA PET scans into the staging process. Dr. Scholz discusses staging, treatment options, and the new ambiguity of whether hormone therapy is as important for this stage of prostate cancer if a person has a negative PSMA PET scan.

0:07 Why does Gleason 4+3=7 (a.k.a Epstein grade group 3) prostate cancer require treatment in most cases?

2:01 If a Gleason 4+3=7 patient has a negative PSMA PET scan, what should his next steps be?

3:27 How do the size and location of the tumor(s) factor into treatment decisions?

5:16 How would a patient find an expert practitioner of focal therapy?

5:39 Which side effects should a patient anticipate if they are undergoing radiation?

6:31 What are the side effects of a focal procedure like HI-FU?

7:36 Does Tulsa-Pro cause any scarring or urinary issues?

8:02 What are the survival rates for men with Gleason 4+3 prostate cancer?

8:45 Does the presence of seminal vesicle invasion affect the treatment protocol?

9:46 Does seminal vesicle invasion require the addition of hormone therapy to the treatment protocol?

10:50 Should patients have PSMA PET scans after treatment?

11:32 Why have you not discussed surgery yet as a possible treatment for Gleason 4+3?

Staging is an important component of good prostate cancer care. The PCRI Staging System is a user-friendly way to categorize prostate cancer information. In contrast to other staging systems that are designed for doctors, this staging system helps patients find relevant practical information about which treatments apply to their case. To do this effectively, it is important to learn all the information that pertains to one’s case, and not waste time and energy trying to sort through the overwhelming amount of information that is available. The goal is to help patients get more from their interactions with their doctors by being informed and being able to forge the basics, getting to deeper discussions in less time.

1:18 How to find your stage

The stage is determined by information input into a simple 6 question quiz. The information can be readily found in a patient’s medical records. The key components, are PSA, Gleason Score, Clinical Stage, and Imaging Scans.

3:05 The Five Stages of Prostate Cancer

The Five Stages of Prostate cancer are Sky, Teal, Azure, Indigo, and Royal. Each refers to a specific disease type that behaves radically different from each other. So distinct in fact, that the treatments aren’t even the same. The first 3 stages are newly diagnosed stages. Azure being the stage that behaves most similarly to other cancers. Sky, on the other hand, is scientifically shown not to spread, and thus treatment is too toxic to justify. Teal is in between where treatment may is most likely necessary, although the treatment regimen is typically less intense.

The last two stages, Indigo and Royal refer to PSA relapse after treatment, and advanced cancer respectively. Each has a wide variety of effective treatments

4:05 Conclusion

Staging helps doctors and patients choose a therapy that is effective, without side effects that are excessive for the intended curative outcome.
