“…We found the male/female ratio as 6.1/1. The male/female ratio in India has been found as 4.1/1, which is lower than the results in our study (Dey et al, 2012). In Japan the ratio is 2.8/1 (Kanematsu et al, 2010).…”

“…The difference in the male female ratio of primary lung cancer among urban versus rural population was not significant (p=0.668). Similar results are reported in Eastern India in 2012 (Dey et al, 2012) Although central location is more often seen in squamous cell carcinoma and small cell carcinoma, peripheral location is seen in adenocarcinoma more frequently (Arınç et al, 2007). Our results were consistent with the literature.…”

“…Recent studies about epidemiology of lung cancer have showed that disease continues to be diagnosed considerably more in men than women (Araz et al, 2010;Kanematsu et al, 2010;Dey et al, 2012). When the minor variations excluded, lung cancer is the most frequent cancer among men and the second most common cancer among women in the World, including Turkey (Araz et al, 2010).…”

“…Smokers have 20-fold increased risk of lung cancer when compared to never-smokers (Dey et al, 2012). Smoking induces all major histological types of lung cancer, the strongest associations are found with squamous cell and small cell carcinoma while the ratio for adenocarcinoma are four-to five fold, which is lower than for other histological types (Thun et al, 1997).…”

Background: Lung cancer is the most frequent cancer among men and second highest among women overall, including in Turkey. Cigarette smoking is the most important etiologic factor for the development of cancer in both men and women. Objective: To determine the lung cancer incidence in Northeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey with a focus on clinical properties, cancer subtypes, the relationships of tumors with cigarette smoking and radiological properties of the lesions. Materials and Methods: In a retrospective study design, 566 lung cancer cases diagnosed at the Pathology Department of Ataturk University in Erzurum over the last seven years extending from January 2006 to June 2012 were investigated. The results were compared with statistical analyses. Results: The most common histopathological subtype of primary bronchogenic carcinoma in our study was found to be the squamous cell carcinoma, 46.1% (261 out of 566), and the second was small cell lung carcinoma 15.7% (89 out of 566). Based on our data, an overall male predominance was noted with a male/female ratio of 6.1/1. While 296 (52.2%) of the patients were found to be smokers at the time of diagnosis, 125 (22.0%) were nonsmokers and 145 (25.6%) were ex-smokers. Smoking status was found to have a strong correlation with primary lung cancer (p <0.05), and there were significant differences between males and females (p<0.001). Conclusion: Although relative prominence of subtypes of lung cancers differ between Turkish and other populations, lung cancer overall remains as an important health problem in Turkey. Our findings stress the critical need for effective cancer prevention programs such as anti-smoking campaigns.

“…Jindal et al [4] found that 14.6% of the patients being aged less than 41 years and Day et al found that 9.4% patients were ≤ 40 years of age. [5] Most of our patients (65%) belonged to rural area. This may be because most of the patients in our hospital comes from rural background and this may be just a reflection to the patient's profile of the hospital.…”

BACKGROUNDCancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and lung cancer is the most common cancer in men. The aim of this study was to study the profile of patients of lung or pleural tumour and their cyto-histopathological type reporting to Department of Respiratory Diseases of GSVM Medical College, Kanpur. MATERIALS AND METHODSA total of 147 patients were included in the study. Patients were subjected to detailed history and general and systemic examination. Radiological investigations were reviewed and repeated as per requirement. Computed tomography/ Ultrasonography guided lung biopsy was done in peripherally located lesion and bronchoscopy guided procedures were performed in centrally located lesions. All histological and cytological results were noted. RESULTSIn this study, 65 patients (44.20%) were diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma and 58 patients (39.4%) were as adenocarcinoma. 14 patients (9.5%) as small cell carcinoma, 4 patients (2.74%) as large cell carcinoma, 3 patients (2.04%) as adenosquamous cell carcinoma and 3 patients (2.04%) as pleural mesothelioma. There was higher prevalence of squamous cell carcinoma among male patients (45.2%) as compared to adenocarcinoma (40%), while this ratio was reversed in case of female patients (adenocarcinoma 46.8% and squamous cell carcinoma 31.2%). There was higher incidence of small cell carcinoma in females (21.8%) as compared to males (6%). CONCLUSIONSquamous cell carcinoma is still the most common histological type of lung cancer in male. There was relatively increased frequency of adenocarcinoma in our study as compared to other studies from India. Lung cancer is the most common cancer in men worldwide and though incidence rates is lower in females still is now the fourth most frequent cancer of women and second most common cause of death from cancer in them (GLOBOCAN 2008 cancer fact sheet). [1] Incidence rates are reportedly rising in newly industrialised and developing countries like China and India. KEYWORDS

Comparison study of clinicoradiological profile of primary lung cancer cases: An Eastern India experience

Abstract: SCC is the most common histological subtype of primary bronchogenic carcinoma. The relatively increased frequency of adenocarcinoma in our study as compared to other studies from India is probably due to higher proportion of nonsmokers.
