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?

In this episode, PCRI Executive Director Mark Scholz, MD Introduces the PCRI Staging System and the 5 Stages of Prostate Cancer.

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.
