Preface

Cesar A. Moran, MD, Saul Suster, MD
This textbook gives surgical pathologists a practical approach to the diagnosis of the different tumors and tumor-like conditions that may affect the lung and pleura. The book has been arranged and subdivided based on the different families of tumors that may seed those structures. When important, historical background is provided so that the surgical pathologist becomes more familiar with the different terminologies used over the years. Current concepts and definitions are also presented so that their importance and the difficulties they may pose to the surgical pathologist are apparent. The text focuses on the morphologic approach to the different tumoral conditions and the use of ancillary methods to corroborate the morphologic diagnosis. When appropriate, important advanced studies, such as molecular pathology information, are also provided.
Additionally, the text provides important radiologic, surgical, and oncologic information that must be considered when dealing with the different conditions presented. In presenting these components, which are essential to understanding the pathology of the lung and pleura, we are indebted to Edith Marom, MD, for her contribution on diagnostic imaging; Garrett L. Walsh, MD, for his contribution on surgical staging, and to David J. Stewart, MD, for his contribution on the clinical management of lung cancer. They provide important information that is of great benefit to all involved in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with lung and/or pleural lesions.
This textbook will be useful not only to surgical pathologists but also to oncologists, surgeons, and radiologists who want to get better acquainted with the diverse histologies that may be present in the lung and pleura. Additionally, we hope this text enhances communication among all the different specialties involved in the treatment of patients with tumors of the lung and pleura.

Conclusions
In the past few decades, the use of computers has revolutionized imaging, with the introduction of technologies such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasonography, positron emission tomography (PET), and, more recently, PET-CT, which integrates anatomic (morphologic) and physiologic aspects of imaging. With the ever-greater subspecialization of the different areas of practice within medical oncology—surgical oncology, radiation oncology, and diagnostic radiology—and the expanding use of picture archiving systems, radiologist and clinician may encounter each other only rarely, if at all. Optimal patient outcomes, however, require careful planning of imaging for diagnosis, staging, and follow-up, best achieved through direct communication between the clinician and the radiologist. This chapter presents a general overview of lung and pleural tumor imaging, with an emphasis on the strengths and weaknesses of specific techniques in evaluating different tumor types, to help in selection of the ideal imaging modality for each patient.

PRIMARY MALIGNANT LUNG TUMORS

Screening
Despite new diagnostic techniques, the overall 5-year survival rate for patients with lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer death, remains approximately 15%, and most patients still present with advanced disease. 1 This high death rate is presumed to reflect a combination of difficulty in detecting early-stage disease and lack of significant curative treatment. Abrogating cigarette smoking would be highly effective in reducing the prevalence of lung cancer but would not abolish it altogether, because effecting
