Abstract

Introduction: LUNG CANCER is one of the leading causes of cancer relateddeaths in the world. The incidence of LUNG CANCER is increasing in India andthere is a need to understand the natural history of this disease.Aim of the study: To study the clinico- pathological- radiological profile ofpatients diagnosed with LUNG CANCER from January 2013 to May 2015 at atertiary care teaching hospital.Materials and Methods: Inpatient records of all patients admitted duringthe study period were examined and all patients with a histologicallyproven diagnosis of bronchogenic carcinoma were recruited. Demographiccharacteristics, clinical, radiological and pathological details of eachpatient were recorded.Results: Fifty four patients with LUNG CANCER were identified. Forty three(79.6%) were male and 11 (20.4%) were female. Thirty two (59.7%) weresmokers and 22 (40.7%) were non smokers. Cough and expectoration(61.1%) was the most common presenting symptom followed bybreathlessness (59.3%). Mass lesion (81.5%) was the most commonradiological presentation and ADENOCARCINOMA (42.6%) was the mostcommon histological subtype. When compared to fiber opticbronchoscopy, image guided percutaneous biopsy had a better yield fordiagnosing LUNG CANCER (51.9% vs 48.1%). But this difference was notstatistically significant (p=0.892)Conclusion: ADENOCARCINOMA is replacing squamous cell carcinoma as themost common type of LUNG CANCER in India.
