Lung Cancer in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Abstract: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at increased risk for both the development of primary lung cancer, as well as poor outcome after lung cancer diagnosis and treatment. Because of existing impairments in lung function, patients with COPD often do not meet traditional criteria for tolerance of definitive surgical lung cancer therapy. Emerging information regarding the physiology of lung resection in COPD indicates that postoperative decrements in lung function may be less than antici… Show more

“…The condition is also recognized as a systemic inflammatory disorder with numerous pulmonary and extra-pulmonary manifestations [64]. This may indicate that reduced overall survival in COPD patients may be related to systemic effects rather than to low lung function per se.…”

“…Chronic inflammation associated with COPD has been linked to the pathogenesis of lung cancer [44,45]. Epidemiologic studies indicate that COPD is one of the most important risk factors for lung cancer among cigarette smokers and precedes lung cancer in most cases.…”

“…A more pronounced inflammatory response was observed in patients with COPD compared with smokers without COPD [47]. This response is characterized by epithelial injury, high cell turnover rates, and propagation of DNA errors [45]. Studies indicate that the inflammatory repair and remodeling processes promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition and lung carcinoma through excessive release of MMPs and growth factors.…”

“…Chronic inflammation associated with COPD likely plays a role in the pathogenesis of lung cancer, and acute exacerbation can be the critical factor in the tumorigenesis of lung cancer. Inflammation in AECOPD may result in repeated airway epithelial injury, accompanying high cell turnover rates and propagation of DNA errors and resulting in amplification of the carcinogenic effects (Raviv et al 2011).…”
