The Comorbidity of Lung Cancer and ILD: A Review.

Pneumologie

Klinik für Pneumologie, Kardiologie, internistische Intensivmedizin, Florence-Nightingale-Krankenhaus, Düsseldorf, Germany.

Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and especially with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF) suffer from reduced survival expectation and risk of exacerbations. Lung cancer is a relevant comorbidity in ILD patients and associated with impaired survival.The most frequent ILD among patients with NSCLC (Non-small cell lung cancer) is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which is associated with an greater decline in lung function and a higher risk of death.

COPD Airway Epithelial Cell-derived Extracellular Vesicles Spread Cellular Senescence via MicroRNA-34a.

Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol

January 2025

National Heart & Lung Institute, Imperial College London, Airway Disease Section, London, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with the acceleration of lung aging, and the accumulation of senescent cells in lung tissue. MicroRNA (miR)-34a induces senescence by suppressing the anti-aging molecule, sirtuin-1 (SIRT1). Senescent cells spread senescence to neighbouring and distant cells, favouring COPD progression and its comorbidities.

Chronic cough is a distressing and prevalent symptom in interstitial lung disease (ILD), significantly impairing quality of life (QoL) and contributing to disease progression, particularly in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It is associated with physical discomfort, psychological distress, and social isolation and is often refractory to conventional therapies. The pathophysiology of cough in ILD is complex and multifactorial, involving neural hypersensitivity, structural lung changes, inflammatory processes, and comorbid conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Article Synopsis
  • Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), especially idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), lead to severe lung scarring, increased lung cancer risk, and poor patient outcomes, with a high incidence of mortality.
  • A study analyzed a cohort of 73 ILD patients with lung cancer, primarily focusing on 55 with comprehensive data, discovering significant predictors such as age at diagnosis, comorbidities, and gender differences in survival rates.
  • Key findings indicate that most tumors were adenocarcinomas, early detection is common, and factors like surgical treatment and autoantibody presence are important for predicting patient survival outcomes in those with IPF-associated lung cancer.

Introduction: There are few studies investigating the clinical profile of older patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), so this study investigated the characteristics of the older population diagnosed with ILD.

Material And Methods: Retrospective study in a population of new referrals at an ILD clinic from January 2013 to September 2017. Patients over 64 years were selected.
