Understanding Lung Cancer Anatomical Chart

Understanding Lung Cancer, Second Edition, defines lung cancer and describes the two main types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Fully up to date with current guidelines, the chart describes how lung cancer is diagnosed and staged and lists risk factors, signs and symptoms, and treatment options.

The main lung image shows the left upper lobe and left lower lobe with metastasis to paratracheal lymph nodes, metastasis to carinal lymph nodes, and a close-up, inset image of a tumor projecting into bronchi.

The chart also describes how lung cancer can be prevented, includes a graphic showing how to calculate number of “pack years” along with an image of a cigarette in ashtray and the statistic that approximately 90 percent of lung cancer deaths are related to smoking.
