AB Mr  L  is  an  inmate  in  his  early  40s  incarcerated  in  a  state  correctional  facility,  where  he  is  serving  a  10-year  sentence  for  manslaughter.  He  was  transferred  to  a  prison  treatment  setting  after  he  developed  back  pain  and  had  bloody  sputum.  His  hemoptysis  was  evaluated  with  chest  radiography,  the  results  of  which  were  abnormal.  A  subsequent  computed  tomography  scan  showed  a  right  upper  lobe  mass;  a  biopsy  confirmed  adenocarcinoma.  Magnetic  resonance  imaging  to  evaluate  his  back  pain  revealed  metastatic  invasion  of  T12  and  L1,  confirming  stage  IV  disease.
