Author: Elizabeth L PerkinsMany patients find that they have lung cancer either because they present symptoms such as persistent coughing and wheezing, sometimes coughing up blood or pain the chest and stomach. This usually prompts further investigation of the chest, typically calling for an x-ray (which may also occur as part of a routine health check) and the testing of sputum samples.At this point more investigations will be called for dependent upon the results.Detailed DiagnosisThe purpose of a chest radiograph or x-ray, is to detect enlarged lymph nodes in the chest or the existence of a mass in the lungs. More advanced techniques can be used to provide much more detailed information and include the following:CAT Scan or CT Scan - a CT Scan is a computer assisted examination which provides a cross-sectional image of the body under examination;MRI Scan - a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan uses hydrogen ions within the patient's body which respond to magnetic fields when they are applied to the body or in this case, the chest. A computer then uses the results to create a chest image which allows for precise location of any mass which has been detected and whether it...more

Author: Elizabeth L PerkinsMost lung cancers are termed "carcinomas", which are tumors caused by uncontrolled reproduction of epithelial cells; these are the cells which form the linings and surfaces of most of the bodies organs and internal structures. There are two main types of carcinoma which are classified according to the size and presentation of the cancerous cells.After a biopsy has been taken (which removes part of the tissue suspected to be cancerous), a laboratory specialist, known as a "histopathologist", places the biopsy sample under a microscope and is able to determine whether cancer is present and whether it is non-small cell or small cell cancer. The former accounts for the bulk of lung cancers (80%) but whatever classification is accorded, it is important because different treatment regimes are more effective at treating the different types (note that there are other classifications but these two are the major ones).Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) are themselves further classified into three different types though the treatment therapies are very similar for all of them:Squamous cell lung carcinoma;Adenocarcinoma; andLarge cell lung carcinoma.Squamous cell...more
