Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer related deaths among both men and women. Non small cell lung carcinomas comprises the majority (about 75%) of lung cancer, has proven difficult to treat due to poorly understood pathological mechanism. Aims and objectives: To study the incidence of lung carcinomas at our institute, And diagnose the lung carcinomas and subtype them by histopathology on bronchoscopic biopsies. Materials and methods: A retrospective and prospective study of bronchial biopsies diagnosed as Non small cell carcinomas by histopathology on hematoxylin and eosin stain in a duration of two years and use IHC markers in a few cases like EGFR and TTF markers. Results: Out of twenty nine (29) cases of lung malignancies majority were Nonsmall cell carcinomas- twenty seven cases (27) ,of which adenocarcinomas were seventeen (17) cases topped the list, followed by squamous cell carcinomas (5) cases, malignant epithelial lesions (3) cases and poorly differentiated carcinomas(2) cases. Conclusions: Histopathology is gold standard in diagnosing lung cancers, non small cell carcinomas of lung are more common.
