1 Survival with lung cancer is poor, with less than 10% surviving over 5 years and almost half of patients presenting in stage IV. Presentation The recognized common symptoms of lung cancer include cough, short
Molecular profiling of the cancer provides further distinction of the tumor 's biological behavior, prognosis , and treatment options. Symptoms include cough, dyspnea , weight loss , and chest discomfort. Regional and metastatic spread cause additional symptoms and complications depending on the location...
Bronchial carcinoidsaccount for up to 5% of lung cancers. Physicians sometimes refer to these tumors as lung neuroendocrine tumors. They are generally small (3 cm-4 cm or less) when diagnosed and occur most commonly in people under 40 years of age. Unrelated to cigarette smoking, carcinoid tu...

Carcinoid tumors are relative rare neuroendocrine tumors of the lung. Bronchial obstruction's symptoms as cough, hemoptysis and pneumonia may be present when they are centrally located and lung-sparing surgery is usually preferred. We describe the case of an adult patient with a central right upper...
squamous cell carcinoma 20%, small cell (neuroendocrine) carcinoma 13%, and large cell carcinoma 5%. The remainder are composed of variant carcinomas,sarcomatoid(spindle cell) carcinomas, salivary-type carcinomas, neuroendocrine-carcinoid carcinomas, and others....
Neuroendocrine tumors of the lung.SCLC is a type of neuroendocrine cancer and there are three other less common neuroendocrine tumor types: typical carcinoid, atypical carcinoid, and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. The first two are less common in smokers and generally less aggressive, while the...
Common primary sites of NETs include the lung and bronchus, small intestine, and rectum [3]. Patients with NETs can experience chronic symptoms related to their disease stage, tumor type, and its anatomical location [4]. At diagnosis, approximately 20% of patients present with carcinoid ...
