Prognosis Adenokarsinoma Paru Stadium Lanjut Berdasarkan Modalitas CT Scan dan X-Ray Thoraks: Sebuah Laporan Kasus

Abstract

Background: Lung adenocarcinoma accounts for approximately 40% of cases of Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma and has a poor prognosis, especially in advanced stages. Most lung cancer patients present at an advanced stage, leading to increased treatment costs while life expectancy remains low. Very few studies in Indonesia have addressed cases of lung adenocarcinoma and their diagnostic approaches and management. This study aims to present a case report of a 53-year-old female patient with a final diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma based on radiological and histopathological examinations. Methods: This study contains a case report of a 53-year-old female patient with a final diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma based on radiological and histopathological examinations at Bethesda Hospital, Yogyakarta. Results: A 53-year-old female patient presented with complaints of shortness of breath, accompanied by a cough with phlegm, chest pain, and weight loss over the past five months. The sequential radiological images of this patient demonstrate rapid staging progression within more than a year. CT scan examinations shows advanced progression of lung cancer, leading to a worsening prognosis, especially in stage IV. A Histopathological examination was conducted, revealing the presence of malignant cells was identified, indicating non-squamous lung adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: In this case report, a 53-year-old female patient was diagnosed with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma. The patient had a poor prognosis from the initial diagnosis to her final condition, despite receiving targeted therapy.
