The prevalence of lung cancer in COPD patients is greater than the prevalence of lung cancer in general population [3] and COPD is a major independent risk factor for lung carcinoma in smokers and increases the risk of lung cancer up to 4.5-fold [2]. This risk is even greater in patients with α1-antitrypsin deficiency [4]. Recently a nested case–control study of Genetic Epidemiology of COPD ...

Today chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer loom as two of our greatest challenges in pulmonary medicine. Both are smoking-related diseases that cluster in families and worsen with age. Aggregation in families suggests a genetic or an environmental connection.1,2 The presence of moderate or severe airflow obstruction is a significant predictor of incident lung cancer.3 ...

Emphysema can be defined from a radiographic standpoint, a pathologic standpoint, or a physiologic standpoint. For the purpose of the latter, we consider PFTs consistent with emphysema if there is (1) non-reversible obstruction, (2) elevated lung volumes, (3) low diffusing capacity, and (4) an adequate smoking history. 2. This patient is a bit ...

Spirometry is used to measure lung function, specifically respiratory volumes and ventilation, and is an important tool in assessing various respiratory diseases, including: COPD, asthma, emphysema, cystic fibrosis, and others. Prior to this exercise, I will have lectured on the basic anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system. I will have already used a spirometer to teach about lung ...

General palliative care. COPD is a life-limiting condition. Patients with severe COPD have a prognosis worse than many cancers, and have a symptom burden at least as high as those with lung cancer. However they are much less likely to complete advance care planning, or access palliative care services. Although prognosis is difficult to predict ...
