Journal Title: ​International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Lung cancer is the most lethal form of cancer in developed as well as in developing countries. This study aimed to determine the clinico-radiological and pathological profile of lung cancer patients. Material and Methods: This is a prospective observational study, a total of 57 lung cancer patients were examined by histopathological and radiological methods. All data were analyzed by SPSS 20.0 statistical software. This study was approved by Institutional Ethical Committee. Results: Among 57 patients, 68.4% were male and 31.6% were female. Right side lung was most commonly affected (64.9%). Cough and dyspnea were common clinical symptoms (84.2%). Radiological observation found mass in 85.9% and pleural effusion in 49.1% patients. 50.9% patients with stage 4 type lung cancer, stage 3B in 33.33% patients. Adenocarcinoma was found in 45.6% cases, 31.6% squamous cell carcinoma, poorly differentiated carcinoma, small cell carcinoma were 15.8% and 7.01% respectively. Conclusion: we found most common lung cancers presented as mass lesion and common histopathological type was adenocarcinoma.
