| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Multiple studies have demonstrated an increased risk of lung cancer in the presence of emphysema detected visually on computed tomography (CT) independent of smoking history and airflow obstruction. The relationship between emphysema and specific histologic subtypes of lung cancer remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To determine the extent to which emphysema on chest CT is associated with lung cancer histology. METHODS: Cross-sectional analysis of consecutive lung cancer patients referred to the Jewish General Hospital was performed (2001-2009). All those with demographic data, smoking history (pack-years), documented histology and chest CT were included. Emphysema was graded on CT by three readers, using a standardized rubric. Odds of each lung cancer subtype were compared between patients with and without emphysema, and adjusted for age, sex, physician diagnosed COPD and smoking history by multiple logistic regression. RESULTS: Complete data were available for 498 lung cancer patients (mean age 68 years; 44% female; 16% never smokers; 53% without emphysema on CT). The most common histologies were adenocarcinoma (242 [49%]), squamous (71 [14%]), undifferentiated (48 [10%]) and small cell carcinoma (42 [8%]). The presence of emphysema was associated with increased odds of squamous (OR 3.1; 95% CI 1.8-5.3) and small cell (OR 2.1; 95% CI 1.1-4.1) carcinoma. After adjustment for age, sex, COPD and smoking history, emphysema was associated with squamous (adjusted OR 2.6; 95% CI 1.4-4.8) but not small cell (adjusted OR 1.5; 95% CI 0.76-3.1) carcinoma. Sensitivity analysis was performed by sequential censoring of each histologic subtype yielding similar results. Adenocarcinoma was less common in the presence of emphysema relative to squamous and small cell carcinoma (adjusted OR 0.62; 95% CI 0.41-0.92). When these latter histologies were censored, no significant association between adenocarcinoma and emphysema was observed (adjusted OR 1.0; 95% CI 0.49-2.1). CONCLUSIONS: Relative to other histologic subtypes, the odds of squamous carcinoma were significantly increased among lung cancer patients with emphysema after adjustment for age, sex, COPD and smoking history. Other common subtypes were not independently associated with emphysema. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
