STUDY ON DEMOGRAPHY AND HISTOLOGIC CLASSIFICATION OF NON SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To explore the demographic features and histologic classification of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Object and method: 318 patients dignosed with non small non-small cell lung cancer based on pathology results were retrospective analyzed at Oncology and Nuclear Medicine Department - Bach Mai Hospital, from November 2015 to October 2018. The variables include age, gender and histologic classification of NSCL (adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, large cell carcinoma). Results: NSCLC were more common in the age group of 51-70, accounting for 76.8%. The lowest age is 26; largest 88; mean age 60.9 ± 9.1 years old. Men are more likely than females for NSCLC incidence (69.2% vs. 30.8%, p <0.01). Male / female ratio = 2.2 / 1. For histologic classification, adenocarcinoma is the most common subtype (accounting for 87.4%), followed squamous cell carcinoma (8.8%) and large cell carcinoma (3.8%). Histopathology subtype is not differentiated by gender and age group. Conclusion: NSCLC is a fairly common malignant disease of the respiratory system and is the most common type of cancer in men. Histopathological classification helps for the selection of treatments and prognosis.
