The pathophysiology of lung cancer refers to the changes in the normal physiological processes and mechanisms that occur in the development and progression of lung cancer.
Lung cancer is a complex disease that arises from the uncontrolled growth and division of abnormal cells in the lungs.
These cells can form tumors and spread to other parts of the body, leading to various symptoms and complications.
The pathophysiology of lung cancer involves several factors, including genetic mutations, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Genetic mutations can occur in the DNA of lung cells, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and division.
These mutations can be inherited or acquired, and they can be caused by exposure to carcinogens, such as tobacco smoke, radon, asbestos, and air pollution.
Lung cancer can be classified into two main types: small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC is further divided into three subtypes: adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.
The pathophysiology of these types of lung cancer can differ, as they have different genetic mutations and respond differently to treatment.
The pathophysiology of lung cancer also involves the interaction between cancer cells and the surrounding tissue, including the immune system.
Cancer cells can evade the immune system, allowing them to grow and spread unchecked.
Additionally, the tumor microenvironment can promote tumor growth and metastasis by providing a supportive environment for cancer cells.
The pathophysiology of lung cancer is a complex and dynamic process, and researchers are continuously working to better understand the underlying mechanisms to develop more effective treatments and improve patient outcomes.
