Lung Cancer

There is known association between interstitial lung disease (ILD) and lung cancer (LC), of which the combination is known to have increased morbity and mortality. While there are described radiographic presentations, clearly identifying a malignant lesion can be challening in diffuse parenchymal lung disease. There are risks with diagnostic modalites, which include pneumothorax and acute exacerbation of ILD. However, paucity of resources is available to guide clinicians. Our session aims to identify the shared risk factors and pathophysiology, understand the common radiographic presentations, and offer recommendations for diagnostic work-up in patients with ILD and suspected LC.

Understand the association and clinical implications of lung cancer and ILD.
