-==Overview==
+==[[Pancoast tumor causes|Causes]]==
-A '''pancoast tumor''', also '''pancoast tumour''' (UK) or '''superior sulcus tumor''', is a [[lung cancer|tumor]] of the [[lung|pulmonary]] apex i.e. a type of lung cancer defined primarily by its location situated at the top end of either the right or left lung.
-The growing tumor can cause compression of a brachiocephalic vein, subclavian artery, phrenic nerve, recurrent laryngeal nerve, or, characteristically, compression of a [[sympathetic nervous system|sympathetic]] [[ganglion]] resulting in a range of symptoms known as [[Horner's syndrome]].
-Pancoast tumors are named for [[Henry Pancoast]], a US [[radiologist]], who described them in 1924 and 1932.
+==[[Pancoast tumor differential diagnosis|Differentiating Pancoast Tumor from other Diseases]]==
-==Symptoms==
+==[[Pancoast tumor epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
-Symptoms can include [[miosis]] (constriction of the pupils), [[anhidrosis]] (lack of sweating), ptosis (drooping of the eyelid), and in severe cases, a complete [[Horner's syndrome]]. In progressive cases, the [[brachial plexus]] is also affected, causing [[Pain and nociception|pain]] and [[weakness]] in the muscles of the [[arm]] and [[hand]].
-In [[superior vena cava syndrome]], obstruction of the [[superior vena cava]] by a tumor (mass effect) causes facial swelling, [[cyanosis]] and dilatation of the veins of the head and neck.
+==[[Pancoast tumor risk factors|Risk Factors]]==
-A pancoast tumor is an apical tumor that is typically found in conjunction with a smoking history. The clinical signs and symptoms can be confused with neurovascular compromise at the level of the thoracic outlet. The patient's smoking history, rapid onset of clinical signs and symptoms, and pleuritic pain can suggest an apical tumor.

 ==Treatment==
-The treatment of a Pancoast lung cancer may differ to that of other types of non-small cell lung cancer due to its position and close proximity to vital structures (such as nerves and spine) which may make surgery difficult to be undertaken.  As a result, and depending on the stage of the cancer, treatment may often involve radiation and chemotherapy given pre-operatively (neoadjuvant treatment) prior to surgery.
