“…We found that lung cancer mainly affects patients older than 50 years at the moment of diagnosis, with a median age of 61 years, which is similar to that reported in other Algerian studies [8][9][10][11]. These ndings are also close to those found in studies carried out in Maghreb countries [12-15, 17, 19].…”

“…Regarding lung cancer incidence by histological subtypes, our ndings indicate that ADC was the most common subtype, followed by SQCC. Recent studies from the region of Maghreb have reported a similar proportion of ADC compared with SQCC [10,11,[13][14][15]. Although comparable to previous studies in our region, the SQCC subtype predominantly occurred [8,12].…”

“…This rate is close to the previous Algerian study conducted by Kefti et al [11], while other studies in the Maghreb region have reported higher rates varying between 90% and 94%. Concerning female smoking, all females in our study were non-smokers, similar ndings were obtained in studies conducted in our region with rates of 0-4% [8, 10,[13][14][15]. Although tobacco smoking remains the most important risk factor in men, about 10-25% of lung cancer patients report no history of regular smoking [22].…”

Purpose: Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and the leading cause of cancer-related death in Algeria. We investigated the clinicopathological characteristics of a group of patients with lung cancer in Eastern Algeria, that might reflect a national landscape. Methods: This retrospective study was performed on 173 histologically proven cases of lung cancer at Benbadis university hospital of Constantine from January 2015 to February 2021. Clinical and pathological variables were investigated based on the available data found in the patient's medical records. Results: Lung cancer showed a male predominance with a sex ratio of 6.5. Majority of our patients (86%) aged greater than 50 years with a median age of 61 years. Histologically, adenocarcinoma was found in over 56.6% of the cases, followed by squamous cell carcinoma with 22.5%, whereas 12.8% were non-NSCLC subtypes. Tobacco smoking was estimated at 79.1% in men. Non-smokers represented over 32.5% of patients, of which 45.1% were female. Most of our patients (79%) have an advanced stage at diagnosis, including 57.3% with metastatic disease. Around 60% of patients underwent chemotherapy, of which 81% was first-line treatment, with a median diagnostic delay of almost 4 months. Conclusion: Lung cancer presents at an early age and advanced stage in Algerian patients. Smoking remains the most important risk factor in men and adenocarcinoma is the predominant histological subtype. Thus, primary prevention, based on tobacco control and screening programs, and access to novel therapies may be the best strategies to reduce lung cancer morbidity and mortality.

The epidemiology of fungal infections is constantly changing worldwide in terms of the incidence and nature of the responsible fungi.The incidence of invasive forms has increased due to the increase in risk factors such as cancer, chemotherapy, organ transplants, immunosuppressive treatments, COPD, HIV infection. Recent publications report the occurrence of invasive mycoses in patients with severe forms of COVID-19 hospitalised in intensive care units.Extensive skin burns are also a risk factor for localised or generalised
