Co-existence of lung mass with other radiological diagnoses
Summary:
Introduction: Lung cancer or lung carcinoma starts in the cells of the lung. A cancerous tumor is a group of cancer cells that can grow into and destroy nearby tissue. It can also spread to the other parts of the body. Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both male population and female population and first cause of cancer both in the male and in the female population. Lung cancer is distinguished in two main categories non –small lung cancer (NSLC) and small lung cancer (SCLC).
Purpose: In the present report we will see the co-existence of lung mass with other radiological diagnoses.
Method: In the present report an attempt was made to analyze and categorize the samples based on various criteria, such as sex, age, type of lung cancer, diagnostic methods, image of lung mass and lung mass with other radiological diagnoses. The samples studied were from Oncology Unit of 3rd Department of Medicine, Athens School of Medicine at << SOTIRIA>> General Hospital. Patient history covers the period from 2011 to 2012. During March and April 2016, the dossiers were recorded. The greater percentage, however, did not contain other radiological diagnoses. For this reason, the analysis was limited to a total of 38 patients whose dossiers contained all the necessary information on patient history and other radiological diagnoses.
Results: The study showed that lung cancer co-existed with emphysema, the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with pneumonia, with pleural effusion, with mediastinal lymph nodes, with atelectasis, with peripheral nodules, with hypertension, with the infiltration of the ribs, the right gate infiltration and the aortic arch atherosclerosis.
Conclusion: The pleural effusion, atelectasis, the peripheral nodes, the sides off, the filtration of the ribs, the right gate infiltration and mediastinal lymph nodes are part of the filter or expansion of lung cancer. Emphysema, pneumonia and COPD co-exist with lung cancer as smoking is the common predisposing factor and history of these three diseases increase the risk of lung cancer.
