The Impact

AbstractLung Cancer (LC) is the first cause of death worldwide. Recently increased interest in interstitial lung diseases (ILD) has highlighted an association with lung cancer, offering interesting insights into the pathogenesis of the latter. Describe the association between lung cancer and ILD and evaluate the impact of LC on survival in these populations. We collected clinical, radiological, histologic data of 53 cases of advanced pulmonary fibrosis with lung cancer: 17 with UIP pattern (usual interstitial pneumonia, UIP/IPF-LC) and 36 with non-UIP pattern (ILD-LC). Adenocarcinoma was the most frequent histological subtype of lung cancer in all three groups and in UIP/IPF-LC developed in the lung periphery and in an advanced fibrosis context. Patients with DLCO% < 38% showed survival < 10 months, irrespective of group and development of carcinoma in UIP/IPF does not necessarily affect survival, unlike in SR-ILD. Our results confirm that the oncogenic mechanism is closely linked to fibrotic and inflammatory processes and that the development of carcinoma affects survival in SR-ILD but not in IPF.

Pathologic Diagnosis

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) represents one of the most common chronic interstitial lung diseases. Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) is the pathologic diagnosis of IPF and can be diagnosed when honeycombing is present with a basilar and peripheral predominance and findings not typical of UIP are absent. In the current era, when a diagnosis of UIP is made with confidence on HRCT, biopsy can be avoided. Yet, one must be familiar with mimics of UIP/IPF (most notably pulmonary edema superimposed on emphysema) to avoid confusion misdiagnosis. Radiologists must also be familiar with potential complications of UIP including progression, infection, accelerated fibrosis (which can be lethal) and primary lung cancer (which has an increased incidence in UIP).

For many years has been well known that smoking could cause lung damage. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer have been the two most common smoking-related lung diseases. In the recent years, attention has also focused on the role of smoking in the development of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). Indeed, there are three diseases, namely respiratory bronchiolitis-associated ILD, desquamative interstitial pneumonia and pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis, that are currently considered aetiologically linked to smoking and a few others which are more likely to develop in smokers. Here, we aim to focus on the most recent findings regarding the role of smoking in the pathogenesis and clinical behaviour of ILDs.
