Overview
Diagnostic Study of Choice
- Diagnostic modality of choice for sarcomatoid carcinoma of lung is CT scan of the chest.[1]
- The definitive diagnosis of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is made by immunohistochemical analysis and pathological subtyping of the specimen collected from biopsy, needle aspiration, sputum cytology or surgical resection of the tumor.[2]
- The algorithm below summarizes the initial imaging approach for patients with suspected non-small cell lung cancer.[3][4]
Suspected lung cancer | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Chest X-Ray | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Abnormal | Normal | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Enhanced Computed Tomography (ECT), includes: • Thorax • Upper Abdomen • Low Neck | Manage and observe | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Imaging evaluation | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Location • Central • Peripheral • Pleural lesion Size Lesion characteristics • Margins (irregular/regular) • Shape (spiculated/rounded) Presence of cavitation • Yes • No Type of adenopathy • Hiliar • Mediastinal | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Other Imaging or Diagnostic Modalities • Sputum cytology • Endobronchial ultrasound • Endoscopic ultrasound • Bronchoscopy • Mediastinoscopy • PET/CT | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
