(9,21,23) The incidence of lung cancer has risen. The pattern of lung cancer has been changing in the West, with increasingly being diagnosed in women and Adenocarcinoma has overtaken Squamous cell carcinoma as the commonest histopathological type.…”

BACKGROUND Lung cancer is presently the most common malignant disease and is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the world. An increase in incidence of lung cancer has been observed in India. The relative frequency and clinicopathological profile of different histological subtypes of lung cancer have shown marked regional and geographical variation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathological profile of lung cancer in patients of Tripura, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study was conducted over a period of 4 years, in patients with clinically and radiologically suspected lung cancer, who attended our hospital from March, 2012 to February, 2016. RESULTS Out of 295 patients, 239 were male, 56 were female; 69.49% of patients were between 51 to 70 years, and 85.42% patients were smokers. The most common presenting symptom was cough (74.24%) followed by chest pain (66.78%). Mass lesion (43.39%) was the most common radiological presentation followed by pleural effusion (26.44%). The commonest mode of diagnosis was imageguided FNAC; confirmed diagnosis in 54.58% patients. The most common histopathological type was squamous cell carcinoma (40.00%) followed by adenocarcinoma (34.58%). Almost 75% patients were diagnosed at advanced stage of disease. CONCLUSION It was found that lung cancer, a disease of elderly people, predominantly affects the male with smoking still remains a major risk factor. CT-guided FNAC is an important diagnostic tool. Squamous cell carcinoma was the most common histopathological type. Majority of the patients were unaware about the ill effects of smoking.

“…Almost three quarters of patients were diagnosed at advanced stage, which is also seen in other studies. (9,21,23) This suggests an urgent need of some diagnostic modality for screening and early diagnosis of patients of lung cancer.…”

“…The one-year life expectancy for lung cancer has increased in the last decade, but the overall 5-year survival rate has remained relatively unchanged from 12%-16% in the last 30 years. 4 There are 2 categories of lung cancer: Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). SCLC is a tumor with a high degree of malignancy originating from cells with neuroendocrine characteristics accounting for 15% of all lung cancer malignancies, while the remaining 85% are NSCLC divided into 3 pathological subtypes: adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.…”

Background: Thoracic empyema is a serious complication related to death at young age and old age. The most common cause of thoracic empyema is parapneumonic effusion, and lung cancer is a rare cause of empyema. Pleuroscopy as an invasive procedure is often indicated as a second option for therapeutic purposes after chest tube insertionCase: We reported one case at Dr. Saiful Anwar, a man, 61 years old, was diagnosed with lung cancer with recurrent pleural effusions. Then after receiving chemotherapy, the patient was hospitalized again because of his worsening condition. From the lateral chest X-ray, a complex hydropneumothorax was obtained. Thoracentesis procedure revealed a greenish-yellow cloudy pleural fluid. The patient underwent pleuroscopy to evaluate the cause of empyema and drainage of pus. Necrotic tissue and pleural surface with nodules were found on pleuroscopy. The results of the anatomical pathology examination from pleural biopsy showed suppurative inflammation with several atypical cellsConclusion: Management of empyema must be carried out as soon as possible and appropriately. Pleuroscopy can be performed as a diagnostic and therapeutic measure in cases of thoracic empyema caused by lung cancer

Introduction Among malignant diseases, lung carcinoma is the most common cancer in men worldwide in terms of both incidence and mortality. Its increasing incidence in developing countries like India is an important public health problem. This work aimed to study the demographic, clinical, radiological, and histological features of patients with confirmed lung cancer. Materials and Methods A total of 50 patients with histologically confirmed lung cancer at a tertiary care center in India from August 2016 to September 2018 were studied and analyzed. Results Out of 50 diagnosed lung cancer patients, 86% were men and 14% women; 31 (62%) patients were aged more than 60 years. Majority were smokers (84%) and all were men. Cough (94%) was the most common presenting symptom followed by dyspnea (68%), chest pain (48%), and hemoptysis (38%). Of the 50 patients, 29 (58%) had soft tissue density mass lesion on radiograph. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) was the diagnosed histological cell type in 24 (48%) patients and adenocarcinoma in 21 (42%) patients. Distant metastasis was observed in 20 (40%) patients. Conclusion In this study, the most common histopathological cell type is SCC. Patients aged more than 50 years and smokers are at high risk of lung cancer. Patients with a smoking history and persistent respiratory symptoms should be promptly evaluated for lung malignancy.
