ABSTRACT
As the leading cause of cancer deaths, lung cancer accounts for an estimated 1.3 million deaths worldwide each year. Tobacco abuse accounts for 80-90% of lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for 80% of lung cancer cases. Most lung cancers are parenchymal or hilar in location. Approximately 30% of lung cancer patients may present with central airway obstructive symptoms. This presentation is often the result of an endobronchial primary or endobronchial spread of a locally advanced malignant process. Symptoms may include unexplained progressive dyspnea, frequent dry cough, bronchospasm, or hemoptysis. A fever and productive cough may also signal a postobstructive pneumonia from a postobstructive partial or complete airway collapse secondary to endobronchial tumor. Central airway cancer may also represent tumor recurrence in cases of surgically resected disease. Endobronchial tumor may represent too a benign disease process.
