“…found associated with lung cancer which was also found from the above table. In the article Pradhan et al mentioned that since 1987, more women have died each year of lung cancer than of the breast cancer (Pradhan, Shakya, & Shrestha, 2014). The record data showed that lung cancer cases were 32.9% whereas other cancers (oral, breast cancer cervix/ uterus colon and colorectal, liver, pancreas, gall bladder stomach cancer blood, lymphoma, penis, skin etc.)…”

“…Increased number of lung cancer could be due to the increasing trend of smoking habit among the women. Smokers account to 80-90% of the lung cancer cases where as non smoker accounts to about 10-15% of cases (Pradhan, Shakya, & Shrestha, 2014), (Subedi K. S., 2013). These risk factors were explored on the basis of geographical geographical distribution showed that there were more lungs cancer cases in Hill region from the data.…”

Nepal being one of the low and middle income countries where disease pattern shifted from communicable to non communicable diseases such as heart and cancer diseases since past. Primary focus of the study was to explore the prevalence of lung cancer in Hill region of Nepal. The study survey was conducted in BP Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital, Bharatpur Chitwan. The study applied quantitative research design. The data was collected from the records of 800 cancer diagnosed patients of the hospital. The record was collected and analyzed from 160 randomly selected cancer cases from year 2009 to 2013. The study was non experimental, descriptive, exploratory and cross-sectional research design. Findings suggested that lung cancer cases were high 32.9% in Hill region. Smoking habit was also found in 56.1% patients, the findings suggested that the reason of high lung cancer might be attributable to high smoking prevalence. High lung cancer prevalence found in Hill region of Nepal which signifies the need of further investigation on lung cancer and related risks in these areas.

“…In the study by Pradhan et al, squamous cell carcinoma was the most common type (63.64%) followed by adenocarcinoma (29.09%) and small cell carcinoma (7.27%), which is similar to our study. 17 However, in the study by Agrawal et al, adenocarcinoma was the most common type (29.26%). 18 In our study, involvement of left lung was more compared to right lung, with most common location being left upper lobe (30.2%) followed by right upper lobe (26.4%).…”

Introduction: Lung carcinoma is the most common cancer with 2.1 million (11.6%) newly diagnosed cases in 2018. Over the years, many cytotechniques have been developed but their combination with histology is still an area of controversy. Imprint and crush cytology are considered simple, rapid and cost effective for a low resource setting in the early diagnosis and management of lung cancer. Here, we aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of imprint and crush cytology and compare them with histopathology. Method: A prospective study was conducted from May 2017 to April 2018 at the Pulmonary medicine unit and Department of Pathology at National Academy of Medical Sciences (NAMS), Bir Hospital. A total of 53 patients were enrolled in the study who showed visible mass on bronchoscopy. Three to five bits of tissue were obtained, imprint and crush smear were prepared from them and the tissue were then sent for histopathological examination. The level of significance selected was p < 0.005. Results: The most common age group affected was 60-69 years. 91% cases were smokers, with a male predominance. The most common location of endobronchial growth was left upper lobe. 43 cases were malignant in biopsy. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and positive predictive value of imprint cytology was 71.05%, 87.50%, 73.91% and 96.43% respectively while that for crush cytology was 74.36%, 75%, 74.47% and 93.55% respectively. The diagnostic yield of imprint, crush smear and forceps biopsy were 52.8%, 58.4% and 81.1% respectively. Squamous cell carcinoma was the most common carcinoma in this study. Conclusion: Imprint and crush cytology yield additional information that can be complementary to endobronchial biopsy. They are convenient, do not burden the patients and thus can be carried out wherever possible during bronchoscopy.
