Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. This chapter covers the epidemiology of the disease, the two main types of lung cancers (non-small cell lung cancer—NSCLC, and small cell lung cancers—SCLC), presenting symptoms, investigations, and diagnostic procedures. The role of the multidisciplinary team and techniques for breaking bad news are both covered. Treatment options, including surgery, systemic anticancer treatment, concurrent chemoradiation, and radiotherapy are all described for both NSCLC and SCLC. Interventions for pain, the analgesic ladder, and the role of the lung cancer specialist nurse are defined. Finally, the aspects of mesothelioma are covered.
