Primary lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in industrialized countries. Despite advances in treatment, the overall 5-year survival remains poor due to the advanced stage of disease at presentation. Smoking remains the main risk factor being responsible for around 85% of all...
Adrenal metastasis, at the initial diagnosis of nonsmall cell lung cancer, occurs in less than 10 % of lung cancer patients. Sensitivity and specificity of PET/CT for adrenal metastasis is 94 % and 85 %, respectively. 5.2 Case 2: Staging of Lung Carcinoma History A 55-year-old male with...
