2. Many substances found in the workplace can cause breathing problems or lung damage.
Some of them include the following:
○ Dust from such things as wood, coal, asbestos, silica and talc. Dust from cereal
grains, coffee, pesticides, drugs or enzyme powders, metals and fiberglass can
also do damage to the lungs.
○ Fumes from metal that are heated and cooled quickly. This process results in
fine, solid particles to be released into the air. Example of jobs that expose
workers to these type of fumes includes, welding (pengelasan),
smelting(peleburan), furnace work, pottery making, plastic manufacture and
rubber operations.
○ Smoke from burning organic materials. Smoke contains a variety of particles,
gases and vapors depending on what substance is being burned. These
particles, gases and vapors if inhaled, can damage the lungs. Firefighters are at
an increased risk.
○ Gases such as Formaldehyde, Ammonia, Chlorine, Sulfur dioxide, Ozone and
Nitrogen oxides. These gases are associated with jobs involving chemical
reactions and jobs that require high heat (e.g welding, smelting, oven drying and
furnace work).
○ Vapors are gas forms of liquids that can revert back to liquid forms with particular
temperature or pressure. Vapors given off by solvents usually irritate the nose
and throat first before affecting the lungs.
○ Mists or sprays from paints, lacquers (e.g varnish), hair spray, pesticides,
cleaning products, acids, oils and solvents (e.g turpentine)
Tumors are characterized by the visible presence of keratine , “squamous pearls” and
intracellular desmosomes / bridges .
Tumors have tendency to remain within the thorax and cause problems by intrathoracic
complications. Prognosis is better → 5 year survival
Local growth tumor follows submucosal pattern → tumor quickly invades lymphatic and
submucosal blood vessels
Metastatic spread : brain, liver, bone, bone marrow, and adrenal glands . early
metastatic involvement → worst / poor prognosis.
Most frequent, occur in the lung periphery, much harder to relate their origin to the
bronchial wall. Tumors are arised at level of bronchioles/ alveolar walls
Sometimes appear at the site of parenchymal scarring → localized or part of a diffuse
fibrotic process
Malignant cells → grow and spread along the pre-existing alveolar walls →
bronchioalveolar carcinomas
Feature of adenocarcinoma :
Large Cell Carcinoma (kalo ga punya feature dari yang lain → large cell carcinoma)
Appear in the periphery of the lung as mass lessions, larger than adenocarcinoma
Similar to adenocarcinoma in terms both propensity for spread and overall prognosis
Malignant Mesothelioma
Arise from and primarily involves the plura rather than ariways/pulmonary parenchyma
Presence of pleural fluid and often irregular / lobulated thickening of the pleura
Tumor originates in the plura and doesnt directly communicate with airways, malignant
cells are not shed into the tracheobronchial tree and cannot be found on the cytologic
examination of sputum/bronchoscopy specimens

5. A biopsy is a procedure performed to remove tissue or cells from the body for
examination under a microscope. A lung biopsy is a procedure in which samples of lung
tissue are removed (with a special biopsy needle or during surgery) to determine if lung
disease or cancer is present.
A lung biopsy may be performed using either a closed or an open method. Closed
methods are performed through the skin or through the trachea (windpipe). An open
biopsy is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. Various biopsy
procedures include:
● Needle Biopsy → A needle is guided through the chest wall using the CT-scan
or fluoroscopy after local anesthesia is given. This type of biopsy is also know as,
Closed, Transthoracic, or Percutaneous biopsy.
● Transbronchial biopsy → This type of biopsy is performed during bronchoscopy
through a fibreoptic bronchoscope (long thin tube with close-focus telescope at
the end of it for viewing purpose).
● After general anesthesia is given, an endoscope is
Thoracoscopic biopsy →
inserted through the chest wall into the chest cavity. Various biopsy tools then
can be inserted through the endoscope to obtain the lung tissue. This type of
biopsy can also be referred as video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).
● Open biopsy → General anesthesia is first given to the patient. Then the doctor
makes an incision in the skin on the chest and surgically remove the piece of the
lung tissue. This type of biopsy usually done if other method of biopsies have not
been successful or larger piece of lung tissue is needed for diagnosis.

6. Pneumoconiosis → lung diseases caused by inhalation of dust)
Depending upon the type of dust, the disease is given different names :
○ Asbestosis → asbes yang masuk ke paru dan tertimbun
■ Ada di home insulation, fireproof mineral, tiles for floor and ceiling
→ miners, construction, shipbuilder, Home yang atasnya asbes
○ Silicosis → silica yang bikin paru - paru fibrosis sehingga decreased lung
function
■ Ada di sand, sandstone, clays → yang kerja di sandblister, miners,
Tunnel Builder
○ Coalworker’s Pneumoconiosis → inhaling carbon particle from coal,
graphite, bikin paru - paru jadi fibrosis
○ Tale Pneumoconiosis → lead to lung fibrosis
■ Exposure to tale dust when tale mining
○ Kaolin → Manufacture ceramic, paper medicine, cosmetic, toothpaste
○ Siderosis (Welders Lung or Silver Polisher Lung) → caused of inhaling
iron particle
○ Byssinosis → cotton
○ Berylliosis → Beryllium
○ Bauxite Fibrosis → Bauxite

8. X-ray and CT-scan uses external source of ionising radiation beam which is shot through
the target. The beam which passes through the target’s tissues and then strikes the
radiographic film behind the target, leading to image production on the film. MRI on the
other hand, uses magnetic fields and radio frequency to produce anatomical images.
○ X-Ray
An X-ray is a noninvasive medical diagnostic tool that helps physicians to
diagnose a disease and also help treat medical conditions. It is the oldest and
most frequently used form of imaging. Doing X-rays involves exposing a part of
the patient’s body to a small dose ionizing radiation beam to produce images of
the inside of the body.
Chest X-ray is the most commonly performed x-ray. In chest X-rays, we can see
the image of the heart, lungs, airways, blood vessels and also the bones of the
spine and chest.
○ CT-Scan
Computed tomography (CT scan or CAT scan) is a noninvasive diagnostic
imaging procedure that uses a combination of X -rays a
nd computer technology to
produce horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan
shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat,
and organs. CT scans are more detailed than standard X-rays.
In computed tomography, the X-ray beam moves in a circle around the body.
This allows many different views of the same organ or structure. The X-ray
information is sent to a computer that interprets the X-ray data and displays it in a
two-dimensional (2D) form on a monitor.
○ MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, is a noninvasive medical imaging test that
produces detailed images of almost every internal structure in the human body,
including the organs, bones, muscles and blood vessels. MRI scanners create
images of the body using a large magnet and radio waves. There is no radiation
produced during an MRI exam, unlike X-rays. Because ionizing radiation is not
used, there is no risk of exposure to radiation during an MRI procedure.These
images give your physician important information in diagnosing your medical
condition and planning a course of treatment
The strong magnetic field created by the MRI scanner causes the atoms in your
body to align in the same direction. Radio waves are then sent from the MRI
machine and move these atoms out of the original position. As the radio waves
are turned off, the atoms move back to their original position and send back radio
signals. These signals are received by a computer and converted into an image
of the part of the body being examined. This image appears on a viewing
monitor.
MRI may be used instead of C T in situations where organs or soft tissue are
being studied. MRI is better at telling the difference between types of soft tissues
and between normal and abnormal soft tissues..
○ PET-Scan
9. Cigarette smoking remains as the leading causes of lung cancer, accounting for about
85% of lung cancers. The risk of developing lung cancer in cigarette smokers increased
uration, amount, and depth of
up to 20-folds. The risk of lung cancers increase by the d
inhalation.
Cigarettes contain multiples carcinogens (more than 60) that have been proven to be
able to induce cancers in laboratory settings. Some of which:
● Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon such as benzo[α]pyrene produce mutation in
the p53 gene. G to T transversion within the gene is a molecular signature of lung
tumors caused by tobacco mutagens.
● Nitrosamine which can be found in cigarettes are carcinogens.
Nicotine is one of the ingredients within cigarette notorious for its disadvantages, such
as:
● Sympathetic/parasympathetic activation: Nicotine binds to and activates nicotinic
cholinergic receptors, which are located both on sympathetic and
parasympathetic postganglionic neurons. The endogenous ligand of this receptor
is the hormone ACH. As Nicotine is not naturally found in the human bodies, the
entry of nicotine through smoking can activate both the sympathetic and
parasympathetic systems, releasing a whole range of hormones and
neurotransmitters into the circulation.
● Addiction: Nicotine causes dopamine release, mediating reward and addiction.
● Carcinogen: Nicotine is not directly carcinogenic, but it has been shown to inhibit
apoptosis, induce cell proliferation and cause angiogenesis in lung tumors.
Case Objectives
1. Sign and Symptoms of lung cancer mirip sama penyakit-penyakit paru lainnya. Most
common symptoms includes:
● Persistent or progressive chronic cough
● Hemoptysis
● Chest pain that worsen with deep breathing, coughing or laughing
● Hoarseness
● Feeling tired/weak (malaise)
● Shortness of breath
● Weight loss and loss of appetite.
Kalau sudah ada metastasis tumor ke bagian tubuh yang lain, tanda dan gejala
tambahan bisa muncul, seperti:
● Bone Pain
● Nervous system changes (headaches, weakness/numbness of limb, balance
problems, seizures)
● Jaundice
● Lumps near the surface of the body (karena cancernya spread ke lymph nodes)
Some lung cancers can also cause syndromes tergantung tumornya ada dimana dan
juga tumornya ide bikin-bikin hormone-like substances.
● Horner Syndrome
Syndrome ini disebabkan oleh P ancoast tumors (Tumor yang letaknya di apex
paru). Karena lokasinya di apex deket brachial plexus dan saraf-saraf penting di
bagian leher-wajah, kalau tumornya big enough, bisa menekan saraf-saraf ini
dan cause a series of symptoms, such as:
★ Drooping of one eyelid (Ipsilateral ptosis)
★ Pupil contraction
★ Ipsilateral anhydrosis (gak ada keringet)
★ Gangguan extremitas
● Paraneoplastic Syndrome
Some lung cancerscan make homone-like substances and release it into the
bloodstream, causing problems in other distant organs. Bikin susah diagnosis
karena, pas symptoms muncul dikiranya yang sakit emang organnya, padahal
karena ada lung cancer. Some common paraneoplastic syndromes associated
with CA Paru contohnya:
★ SIADH Syndrome → Cancer cells produces the hormone ADH, causing
kidney to retain water and thus lowers salt levels in the blood
(hyponatremia). Symptoms includes fatigue, loss of appetite, muscle
weakness or cramps, nausea and vomiting, restlessness and confusion.
★ Cushing Syndrome → Cancer cells makes the hormone ACTH, causing
the adrenal glands to produce cortisol. This leads to weight gain, easy
bruising, drowsiness, striae, moon-faced and osteoporosis sekunder.
★ Nervous system problems → Lung cancer kadang bisa menyebabkan
immune cell kita untuk menyerang nervous system. Pertama-tama yang
muncul adalah muscle disorder diaman kayak berdiri dari duduk sama
muscles jadi lemah. Pada rare cases, loss of balance, trouble speaking
and swallowing juga bisa muncul.
★ Hypercalcemia
Based on the TNM staging above, lung cancer stages then can be assessed as follows:
● Stage 0 → Tis,N0,M0
● Stage IA → T1,N0,M0
● Stage IB → T2,N0,M0
● Stage IIA → T1,N1,M0
● Stage IIB → T2,N1,M0
T3,N0,M0
● Stage IIIA → T1,N2,M0
T2,N2,M0
T3,N1,M0
T3,N2,M0
● Stage IIIB → Any T,N3,M0
