“…In studies at other countries like India (21) and Canada (22) the mean age of the patients were 56 and 75years respectively .This can be attributed to the different genetic context and environmental and lifestyle-related factors (15). The mean age at time of study among men (61.69, SD=12.84) and women (61.30, SD= 16.39) (P=0.041) were similar to the studies at Tehran (P=0.001, P=0.004) (15,23) and different with study at Qazvin(P=0.171) (16).…”

“…According to the previous studies in Iran, male to female ratio has been reported 2.85 (12), 3.22 (15) and 5.09 (16), while in our study it was 1.95. In other countries like Spain and India the ratio was 8.1 (17) Further investigations based on the risk assessment are highly recommended for this population.…”

“…Tobacco smoking alone is the most important risk factor for lung cancer as it accounts for more than 70% of pulmonary carcinomas (WHO, 2013). According to recent studies, squamous cell carcinoma is the most common histopathological subtype of bronchogenic carcinoma in Iran and Turkey (Demirci et al, 2013;Hajmanoochehri et al, 2014) Accurate pathological diagnosis is essential for selecting a suitable therapy for intrathoracic lesions. The skill of the operator, experience of the interpreter, and the nature of the lesion are among the factors that also affect diagnosis (Khouri et al, 1985;Spira et al, 2004;Kravtsov et al, 2014).…”
