Epidemiological, Clinical, Therapeutic and Evolutionary Aspects of Primary Operated Bronchial Cancer

Abstract

Introduction: Bronchial cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the world. We conducted this work in order to describe the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary characteristics of primary operated bronchopulmonary cancers. Methods: Retrospective study including all operated patients from January 2016 to October 2018. The data was entered on an Excel file and then transferred to SPSS software for analysis. Results: The rate of primary operated bronchopulmonary cancers was 6,3 %. The sex ratio was 3,11. The average age was 58,5 years old. The average consultation time exceeded three months in 80% of cases. Adenocarcinoma was the most common histological type. Conclusion: The very low rate of stages I and II at the time of diagnosis requires awareness of the value of screening and early diagnosis so that patients can benefit from surgical treatment.
