Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in patients with lung cancer: prevalence, impact and management challenges

Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer share a common etiological factor (cigarette smoking) and usually coexist in everyday clinical practice. The prevalence of COPD among newly diagnosed patients with lung cancer sometimes exceeds 50%. COPD is an independent risk factor (2–4 times higher than non-COPD subjects) for lung cancer development. The presence of emphysema in addition to other factors (e.g., smoking history, age) could be incorporated into risk scores in order to define the mos… Show more

“…Smoking causes transformation of normal cells into cancer cells with large mutation burden and poor histologic type [ 18 20 ]. Also, it induces chronic airway and systemic inflammation, leading to impaired lung function and sarcopenia that are closely related to poor prognosis in lung cancer [ 21 , 22 ]. In this study, even after adjusting for cancer stage which had the most significant effect on survival, the OS of the high-risk group was significantly decreased in both early (I, II) and advanced stages (III, IV).…”

“…In the submerged cultures under normoxia, although the OCT4 mRNA level showed a nearly 3-fold increase in DHBE cells compared to the level in NHBE cells ( Figure 10A ), the OCT4 protein level was comparable between NHBE and DHBE cells ( Figure 9K ). Given that multiple lines of evidence have shown the positive correlation between COPD and lung cancers ( Raviv et al, 2011 ; Durham and Adcock, 2015 ; Spyratos et al, 2017 ; Young and Hopkins, 2018 ; Parris et al, 2019 ), which are generally characterized by increased OCT4 protein expression in the malignant airway epithelial tissues ( Chen et al, 2008 ; Karoubi et al, 2009 ; Chiou et al, 2010 ; Zhang X. et al, 2010 ; Bora-Singhal et al, 2015 ), it is plausible that increased OCT4 mRNA expression in the undifferentiated DHBE cells, which preceded increased OCT4 protein expression, may be a predisposing factor for lung cancer development in the COPD population. On the other hand, surprisingly, the OCT4 mRNA levels were comparable among the differentiated NHBE and DHBE tissues cultured under normoxia, intermittent H/R or consecutive hypoxia ( Figure 10I ), which may be primarily attributable to the dramatically reduced expression levels of OCT4 in the ALI-cultured and differentiated HBE tissues, which showed at least 50% decreases compared to the levels in the submerged and undifferentiated HBE cells ( Figure 10J ).…”

“…Eighty to 90% lung cancer cases are caused by cigarette smoking [31] which has many adverse health consequences. The most common comorbidities in patients with lung cancerall of which can progressively and negatively impact healthare chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, in 50-70% of patients [32,33]), diabetes (16%), and HF (13%) [5]. In addition, the effects of curative-intent therapy of lung cancer have unique effects on cardiopulmonary health since part of the therapy requires local destruction and/or removal of lung tissue which may impede function and EC in some patients.…”
