“…In Japan the ratio is 2.8/1 (Kanematsu et al, 2010). In a study in 2010, 255 patients diagnosed with lung cancer in 2005, 220 of whom (86.3%) were male and 35 were female (13.7%) are evaluated in Erzurum (Araz et al, 2010). The ratio in our region was 6/1 in 2005.…”

“…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).…”

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.

“…Indeterminate lesions are still one of the most challenging problems in current clinical practice. In such cases, computerized tomography (CT) serves as the standard of reference and its use is recommended for the evaluation of these nodules in the current guidelines [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is not used as a first choice in the evaluation of indeterminate nodules, the advantages of using dynamic MRI for tumor catheterization have been demonstrated in several studies [ 9 , 10 ], and due to technical improvements MRI has gained importance for tumor detection and interpretation [ 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”

Objective: The aim of our study was to determine whether or not dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with kinetic and morphological parameters can reveal significant differences between malignant and benign pulmonary lesions, and thus to evaluate the use of dynamic MRI in the management of pulmonary nodules. Patients and Methods: Thirty-one patients (4 women and 27 men) underwent 1.5 T MRI, where 10 consecutive dynamic series were performed every 30 s by using 3D fast low-angle shot sequences. The percentage increase in the signal intensity of the lesions was determined for each time point. Time-enhancement curves of the lesions were drawn and classified into four types: A, B, C and D. Early peak (EP) and maximum peak (MP) values of the curves were calculated and compared with the diagnoses of the patients. The usefulness of these parameters was tested statistically. In addition to the comparison of the parameters between the groups, receiver-operating characteristic analysis was used to assess sensitivity, specificity, and both positive and negative predictive values of EP and MP parameters. Results: Of the 31 pulmonary lesions, 16 (52%) were malignant. These showed a stronger enhancement with higher median values of EP and MP (77.08 and 123.15, respectively) than those corresponding to the benign lesions (14.45 and 32.53, respectively). There were significant differences between the benign and malignant lesions (p < 0.001). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 75, 93, 92 and 78% for EP and 93, 86, 88 and 93% for MP, respectively. Conclusion: A combination of kinetic and morphological evaluation in dynamic MRI provided accurate differentiation between benign and malignant pulmonary lesions. It was a useful and noninvasive method of evaluating pulmonary nodules.
