“…In females there was a preponderance of adenocarcinoma (50.3%), while in males squamous cell carcinoma predominated (45.4%). These results are similar to those reported by other groups [12,13] and can be attributed to the differences in smoking between sexes (the women in our study smoked less), as well as to molecular or hormonal factors [14].…”

“…Our results show a trend towards more advanced stage at diagnosis in females, which may be due to the fact that there were fewer women smokers than men in the registry and they would not be routinely followed with imaging studies. However, this result was not found in prior studies [7,8,13]. Another finding was that 55.6% of our patients were treated with chemotherapy, a similar percentage to that reported in other national series.…”

Introduction and aims: To analyze the characteristics and long-term survival of patients diagnosed with lung cancer (LC), small cell and non small cell, in our hospital. Patients and methods:Retrospective study of patients with a cytohistological diagnosis of LC between 1999 and 2004. Survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The chi-squared test was used to assess possible associations between different variables.Results: In this time period, 996 cases were diagnosed, 85.6% in males and 14.4% in females. A total of 80.6% of the patients were smokers. Squamous cell carcinoma was the most frequent in males and adenocarcinoma in females; 20.4% of the tumours were at an early stage (I and II) at the time of diagnosis and only 16.8% were amenable to surgery. Overall survival was 7.9% at 5 years and the LC-specific survival was 14%. Survival was significantly worse in advanced stages and in patients that did not receive active treatment. Conclusions:Overall 5-year survival in our series was low, but similar to that described in other Spanish registries. This may be related to the low number of patients diagnosed in early stages and who could be treated surgically.

“…The majority of patients were diagnosed at an advanced stage and OS remained The predominance of lung cancer men in our series has been reported yet in Spain. [17][18][19][20] The current male-to-female ratio in the USA is close to one. [21,22] Our ratio of males to females with lung cancer is still high, [23][24][25] similar to other spainish rural areas.…”

“…Worldwide, the trend is toward an increase in the proportion of adeno-and a decrease in squamous cell carcinomas, although the rate of change varies across different geographical areas. [18] This change has mainly been attributed to the decline in the number of smokers and the more widespread consumption of fi ltered cigarettes in USA. In spite of the proportional decline over the last 20-30 years, squamous cell carcinoma is still the most common histological subtype among males in several European countries (37% in France, 44% in Poland and 45% in Holland).…”

“…Population-based cancer registries should be preferred. However, in Spain, in spite of many efforts [17][18][19][20] not more than 26% of the Spanish population (28% in the case of childhood cancer) is covered by cancer registries and the distribution of them is not random. [22] Second, we have not considered other prognostic factors, such as performance status or treatment.…”

The aim was to describe, in a prospective manner, the clinical, histopathological and epidemiological characteristics of lung cancer patients who attended as outpatients at the Lluís Alcanyís, Xàtiva Medical Oncology Hospital, València, Spain from January 2004 to July 2014. We also analyzed survival and compared our data with that reported in the literature. Methods: Clinical and demographic characteristics were analyzed for the entire series and trends were compared by year of diagnosis. Changes in epidemiology were examined and compared. Results: There were 701 patients (91.4% were men, mean age 67.6). Main histology was squamous cell carcinoma (41.5%). Squamous cell carcinoma prevailed in men (45.5%) and adenocarcinoma (ADC) in women (60.3%). The percentage of men with lung cancer and of patients with squamous cell carcinoma was higher than in the reported worldwide data and remained throughout the 10 years period. Mean survival was low, with < 10% survivors at 5 years. Stage of disease remained the main prognostic factor for survival. Conclusion: Squamous cell carcinoma continues to be the most frequent histological type in our area. Male and smoking is associated with lung carcinoma while ADC more often occurs in females. Over the time, our epidemiological and histological patterns have not changed, possibly in relation to maintenance of smoking habits.
