Patient presents with complaints consistent with possible lung cancer, including persistent cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, and unintentional weight loss.  Onset of symptoms reported as [timeframe].  Patient history includes [smoking history, occupational exposures, family history of lung cancer, relevant comorbidities such as COPD or emphysema].  Physical examination reveals [relevant findings such as diminished breath sounds, wheezing, lymphadenopathy].  Preliminary differential diagnosis includes lung cancer, pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis.  Ordered tests include chest x-ray, CT scan of the chest, and complete blood count.  Imaging studies suggest [description of findings, e.g., presence of a nodule, mass, or effusion].  Pulmonary function tests were conducted to assess lung capacity and function.  Further evaluation with bronchoscopy and biopsy is recommended to obtain a tissue diagnosis and determine histological subtype, such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) including adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma, or small cell lung cancer (SCLC).  Staging workup will be performed to assess the extent of disease using TNM staging. Treatment options will be discussed with the patient following confirmation of diagnosis and staging, which may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or palliative care.
