Lung cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed malignancy with the highest mortality rate. It can be classified into small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). At the early stage of the disease, lung cancer rarely gives apparent symptoms. Patients are usually diagnosed at an advanced stage. Lung cancer is closely related to tobacco smoking. The increasing prevalence of tobacco smoking in Indonesia should be an alarm. During the last decades, knowledge and technology regarding lung cancer screening and diagnosis have vastly increased. Proper screening for high-risk individuals will help to increase the survival rate from the disease. Diagnosis of lung cancer using various radiologic modalities, histopathology, and biomolecular tests will also determine a specific treatment approach for the patient. A proper diagnostic test will also help predict the patient’s prognosis. This literature review aimed to provide foundation knowledge from recent guidelines for screening and diagnosing lung cancer.

Introduction: Lung and colorectal carcinoma are commonly found in cancer and often cause mortality worldwide. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cause of death. Although multiple primary cancers can exist, these two malignancies rarely happen simultaneously. This case report shows a patient diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung and rectal adenocarcinoma with metastases to the liver, ocular, and cerebrum. Case: A 54-year-old woman came with chest pain accompanied by persistent and progressive breathing difficulty, cough, loss of appetite, and weight loss of almost 15 kg. The patient experienced sudden lower and upper extremities weakness two weeks after being hospitalized. The patient also experienced blurred vision and swelling of the eyes. At that time, the patient had an endoscopy procedure, and the biopsy showed colitis with severe dysplasia. Based on clinical and radiologic findings, the patient had lung and colon cancer. Conclusion: Dual primary carcinoma rarely happens, and metastases from different neoplasms are difficult. Warren and Gates’ criteria could be used to diagnose dual primary carcinoma, especially if diagnostic studies could not be performed. Signal that the hedgehog gene is still active when the neonate is born is suspected of causing these carcinomas.
