Summary:
Lung cancer may cause central airway obstruction through several different mechanisms
(invasion by the primary tumor, invasion by metastatic lymph nodes, airway metastasis).

The aim of the present study is to determine the prevalence at the time of diagnosis, the
incidence at 1 year from the diagnosis, and the predictors of central airway obstruction
associated with advanced lung cancer.
Eligibility:
Gender: Both
Age: 18 Years - 85 Years
Inclusion Criteria:
- Advanced lung cancer with indication for chemotherapy or chemotherapy + radiation therapy
Exclusion Criteria:
- Age < 18 year
- Pregnancy
- Refusal to sign informed consent
Outcome:
Primary outcome
  • Incidence of central airway obstruction
    The incidence will be measured over a 12 month period after diagnosis (or over the life span from diagnosis to death in patients who die before 1 year from the diagnosis)
    Time frame: 12 months
Secondary outcome
  • Predictor variables associated with the presence/occurrence of central airway obstruction
    Time frame: 12 months
  • Prevalence of central airway obstruction
    The prevalence of central airway obstruction will be evaluated at the time of diagnosis
    Time frame: 1 day
