AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined 110 lung cancer patients to explore the link between lung cancer type and symptoms of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
- It found that patients with adenocarcinoma were more likely to have normal lung function (FEV1%VC over 70) compared to those with small cell or squamous lung cancer.
- Additionally, those with better lung function showed less severe COPD symptoms and higher oxygen levels, while there was no connection between lung cancer type and symptoms of bronchitis or emphysema.
Article Abstract
Connection between histological type of lung cancer and existence of clinical and spirometric symptoms of COPD was analysed in 110 lung cancer patients (64 small cell, 23 adenocarcinoma, and 23 squamous). It was shown that adenocarcinoma was significantly more frequent among subjects with values of FEV1%VC over 70 than among subjects with small cell and squamous lung cancer. Also subjects with values of FEV1% VC over 70 had significantly higher oxygen blood pressure, and clinical and radiological symptoms of COPD were less intensive than in subjects with values of this index below 70. There was no correlation between histological type of lung cancer and bronchoscopic symptoms of bronchitis and radiological symptoms of emphysema.

Background: Cancer patients have up to a 3-fold higher risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) than the general population. Traditional CVD risk scores may be less accurate for them. We aimed to develop cancer-specific CVD risk scores and compare them with conventional scores in predicting 10-year CVD risk for patients with breast cancer (BC), colorectal cancer (CRC), or lung cancer (LC).

Guidelines for the follow-up of pulmonary subsolid nodule (SSN) vary in terms of frequency and criteria for discontinuation. We aimed to evaluate the growth risk of SSNs and define appropriate follow-up intervals and endpoints. The immediate risk (IR) and cumulative risk (CR) of SSN growth were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method according to nodule consistency and size.

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) assisted bronchoscopy shows prospective advantages in diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs), but its diagnostic value and potential influencing factors remain unclear. What is the clinical value and optimal strategy of CBCT-assisted bronchoscopy in diagnosing PPLs? The references were searched from PubMed, EmBase, and Web of Science. Studies reporting diagnostic yield and potential influencing factors of CBCT-assisted bronchoscopy were included.
