ABSTRACT

Background

Lung cancer is usually suspected in individuals who have an abnormal chest radiograph finding or have symptoms caused by either local or systemic effects of the tumour. The method and stage of diagnosis of suspected lung cancer depend on the type of lung cancer (i.e., small cell lung cancer [SCLC] or non-SCLC [NSCLC]), the size and location of the primary tumour, the presence of metastasis, and the overall clinical status of the patient.

Objectives

To determine the stage and method of diagnosis of bronchogenic carcinoma in Hiwa cancer hospital.

Patients and Methods

A cross-sectional study, at which three hundred patients with lung cancer in Hiwa cancer hospital from 1st Jan. 2016 to 1st Feb. 2018 were evaluated, and as much as possible as data were collected and analyzed for stage, method, and histological type.

Results

The mean age for lung cancer was 65.7±10.7 years. Male: female ratio was 3.4:1. Smoking was present in (88%) of cases. Most of our cases (61.7%) were diagnosed by bronchoscopy, and most of them were non-small cell lung cancer was stage III & IV. There was a significant relationship between the method of diagnosis and stages of lung cancer (P-value=0.016).

Conclusion

Most of our cases were males between 60–69-year-old, and smokers, without a family history, they presented with cough and were diagnosed by bronchoscopy (wash & biopsy) with metastatic disease, and their histological type was Non-small cell.
