Dan’s Story
Lung Cancer Is Personal
Lung Cancer is the 2nd Leading Cause of Death in the US
• Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women in the US
– 160,000 die each year, more than breast, colon, prostate and pancreatic cancer combined
– 5 year survival at 16.8% essentially unchanged since 1975
• Most common cancer worldwide
– 1.6 million deaths in 2012

Lung Cancer Facts
Global Lung Cancer Incidence and Mortality
11/20/2014 13
Most common cancer worldwide • 1.6 million deaths in 2012
Fifty eight percent of new cases in underdeveloped regions
Highest incidence and mortality in men • Central and Eastern Europe• Eastern Asia
Women have lower incidence and mortality • Highest in North America – cultural
differences in smoking prevalence • Lag in when women started smoking

Lung Cancer is a Non-Infectious Chronic Disease
11/20/2014 14
http://www.nccn.org/patients/guidelines/nscl/index.html#8
Most are carcinomas and initiate in the lining of the airways
• Bronchi• Bronchiole• Alveoli
Today’s smokers are more likely to develop lung cancer than smokers 50 years ago.
87% Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC); 13% Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) Histology

NSCLC further characterized histologically into:
• Adenocarcinoma• Squamous Cell• Large Cell
Over 80% of Lung Cancers are caused by Tobacco

Other than smoking, what else can cause lung
cancer?
- Secondhand exposure to smoke
- Radon
- Having had smoking related cancer
- Family History
- Environmental pollutants (pollution, dust,
asbestos)
- COPD or Pulmonary Fibrosis

Abnormal cell growth
Lesion Pathological
EvidenceMetastasis Diagnosis Treatment Death
Damage accumulates with age and exposure to agents e.g. tobacco. Average age of diagnosis is 70
Few symptoms in early stages
Screening test (LDCT) not generally available until 2015
Approximately 85% of diagnoses at a late stage
Early stage –Surgery and possible adjuvant chemo/radiation
Late stage –palliative and life extension

Surgical Treatment in Early Stages; Systematic Treatment in Late Stages
11/20/2014 19
Surgical Options include wedge resection, lobectomy, bilobectomy, and pneumonectomy via traditional, minimally invasive (VATS) or robotic surgery • sometimes preceded by, or followed
with, adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiation
Systematic treatments include chemotherapy, radiation, targeted molecular treatments, and immunotherapy
• Approximately 67% of NSCLC have an identified genetic mutation

Annual Lung Cancer Screening Recommended For the High Risk Population
11/20/2014 26
Age
55 to 80 (age 74 for Medicare)
Smoking History
30 pack years or more• 1 pack a day for 30 years/2 packs per day for 15 years etc.
Current or Former Smoker Quit within the last 15 years
• More than 10 million Americans in the recommended population to screen
• Estimated to save more than 20,000 lives a year• Additional benefit for smoking cessation
– Published smoking cessation rates in lung cancer screening trials and studies show 2 to 3 times the cessation rate as compared to the general population (11 to 22% vs 5 to 7%)
"This has the biggest impact on lung cancer that we have ever seen in our lifetime," he said. "This will do more to save lives than anything else we have done to date in lung cancer, from a clinical perspective.”

Stigma due to Strong Link with Smoking
People with lung cancer blamed and/or blame themselves for their disease

Deadliness of disease and images of horrible death
Lack of survivors and advocates = less research $’s

Tobacco Company Marketing Targets Youth – Every adult who dies
early because of smoking is replaced by two new young smokers.
11/20/2014 30
• $8.4 Billion spent on advertising annually
• $23 million every day
• 90% of regular smokers start smoking by age of 18
• Smoking harder to quit than heroin

Smoking is The Cancer Trigger
Smoking is now known to cause
13 different types of cancer—
almost everywhere in the body.
1 out of 3 U.S. cancer deaths are tobacco-related.
Smoking is The Breath Blocker
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Smoking causes most cases of COPD.
There is NO CURE for COPD
Smoking is the Heart Stopper• Smoking causes cells lining veins and arteries to swell.
• Narrower arteries mean reduced blood flow to the heart, brain, and organs.
• Clots can block narrowed arteries, causing heart attack, stroke, and even sudden death.
• Even occasional smoking damages blood vessels.
Government Policies and Social Context
11/20/2014 34
Warning Labels on Tobacco Products• Many now advocating for “plain
packaging”
Ban on Cigarette and Smokeless Tobacco Advertising on TV and Radio
Smoking Restrictions in Public Places
Increased Cigarette Taxes • 10% increase reduces consumption 3
to 5%
Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement • Dollars go into general fund. Not being
used for original intent of tobacco control
Graphic CDC Anti-smoking Campaign
Lung cancer incidence reduced from 42% in 1965 to 18% in 2012
Decline in teen smoking incidence leveling off.
5.6 million youths will die prematurely of tobacco related illness
New threat E-cigarettes
Unintended consequence is stigmatization of people with lung cancer increasing the disease burden
Large tax revenues and strong lobbying stymie will to make tobacco illegal

Primary Prevention: States Have Failing Grades for Most Tobacco Control Measures
Spending
Cessation
Excise Taxes
Smoke Free Air Laws

Summary• Lung Cancer is a Non-Infectious Chronic Disease
– More than 80% of cases caused by tobacco use– 90% of regular tobacco use starts by age 18– Smoking harder to quit than heroin – Cigarettes more addictive now than in 1960’s
• Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide and the leading cause of cancer deaths in men and women in the US – Mortality rate high due late stage at diagnosis
• USPSTF and CMS now recommend LDCT screening annually for the high risk population– 10 million Americans eligible– Estimate more than 20,000 lives saved per year– Need to raise awareness with primary care physician community and the
population at risk
• Tobacco control efforts, although resulting in some success, have failed to eliminate smoking– E-cigarettes threaten to erode smoking incidence reduction achieved to date
• Increased research funding needed for improved screening and treatment modalities

Lung Cancer Incidence and Mortality Rates Decreasing in the US
11/20/2014 38http://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/lungb.html
Public Health Policy ImplicationsImprove lung cancer survivability via USPSTF recommended low dose CT (LDCT) lung cancer screening. Improved survival leads to positively reinforcing loops of reduced stigma, increased advocacy, increased research, increased survival
11/20/2014 39
Need CMS to cover LDCT lung cancer screening.
Continuation of tobacco control policies should addlung cancer screening as ateachable moment for smokingcessation. Also, switch focus fromnegative portrayal of smokers and focus on tobacco and e-cigarette industryactions targeting addiction & marketing to youths
Tobacco Control Policies Stigmatize Smokers
Tobacco Industry Response to 1964 Surgeon General Report:deny addictive nature of smokingportray smoking as lifestyle choice
Tobacco control policies de-normalized smoking and stigmatized smokerssmoking as environmental health issue (2nd hand smoke)legislation of smoke free public areas and work placesportraying smoking as a personal choice leading to a horrible death

Lung Cancer Stigma has Adverse Impacts on Depressive Symptoms, Quality of Life and Physical Symptoms
• People with lung cancer experience dual burdens of their disease and stigma
• Lung cancer stigma is an independent factor
– 2.1% impact on quality of life (QOL)
– 3% of the impact on depressive symptoms
– 1.3% increase in severity of symptoms
• Depression impacts QOL and QOL prognostic factor for survival (ref below)

Tobacco Control Policies
Decreased Smoking Prevalence
Reduced LC Incidence
Reduced LC Advocacy
Reduced LC Research
Low Survivability
LUNG CANCER (LC) STIGMA CONCEPTUAL MODEL
Andrea Borondy Kitts April 2014
Increased LC Stigma
Adverse LC patient impacts
Stigmatized smokers
Tobacco control policies effective at decreasingsmoking prevalence however stigmatized smokersand people with lung cancer. Reduction in incidence of lung cancer offset by low survivability due to stigma resulting in negativelyreinforcing loops of increased stigma, adverse patient impacts,less advocacy and reduced research.

• Why You Should Care
Overall Lung Cancer Incidence in US is 60.1 cases per 100,000; Highest in African American Men at 93.0 per 100,000

Average age at diagnosis 70
Lung Cancer Screening with LDCT now Recommended for the Population at High Risk
“The USPSTF recommends annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in adults aged 55 to 80 years who have a 30 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. Screening should be discontinued once a person has not smoked for 15 years or develops a health problem that substantially limits life expectancy or the ability or willingness to have curative lung surgery."
• More than 10 million Americans in the recommended population to screen
• Estimated to save more than 20,000 lives a year
• Additional benefit for smoking cessation– Published smoking cessation rates in lung cancer screening trials and studies show
2 to 3 times the cessation rate as compared to the general population (11 to 22% vs 5 to 7%)
