Abstract
Background: Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies with high morbidity and mortality. Nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for majority of cases. Aims: This study aims to study the clinical and pathological features of lung cancer patients treated at our institute between January 2017 and December 2018. Materials And Methods: It is a retrospective study. 142 patients of lung cancer were retrospectively analyzed for demographic data, history of smoking, histological type, stage and treatment received. Results: Of the 142 patients analyzed, 107 (75%) were males and 35 (25%) were females, with the ratio being 3:1. Most of our patients had a lesion localizing to the right side (52.8%) than left (47.2%). NSCLC was reported in 78.1% of our patients. Most of our patients presented at advanced stage Conclusions:Associated risk factors, symptoms, and investigations like CT guided FNAC, BAL cytology are enormously important to diagnose lung cancer in early stage so that further mortality & morbidity can be minimized.
