Sažetak
Aim: The aim of this research was to determine the histological types of lung cancer among patients diagnosed with primary lung cancer by CT and pathohistologically, and to determine the prevalence of squamous cell carcinoma. Furthermore, to determine gender and age distribution and the proportion of smokers and non-smokers among respondents with diagnosed squamous cell carcinoma in relation to patients with adenocarcinoma.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients in whom the lung cancer was diagnosed in 2022 at the Clinical Hospital Center (CHC) Rijeka. All data necessary for the conduct of this study (age and gender, pathohistological findings, the diagnostic method by which the material for pathohistological analysis was obtained and smoking status) were obtained from hospital databases (IBIS and ISSA).
Results: A total of 147 diagnosed primary lung cancers were detected in this study. Lung cancer showed a male predominance with 65,3% while the proportion of female patients was 34,7%. The most common histological type of lung cancer was adenocarcinoma, confirmed in 40,8% of patients, followed by squamous cell carcinoma, which was diagnosed in 22,4% of patients. The male gender was more prevalent in patients with adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, with the incidence of 63,3% and 75,5%. Analysis of the smoking status showed that 80% of patients with adenocarcinoma and 94% of patients with squamous cell carcinoma were smokers. The incidence of smokers among men diagnosed with adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma was approximately equal (92.2% vs. 92%). The proportion of smokers among women with adenocarcinoma was 59.1% while all women with squamous cell carcinoma were smokers.
Conclusion: Squamous cell carcinoma was the second most common histological type in patients diagnosed with lung cancer in 2022 at CHC Rijeka, after adenocarcinoma, with the incidence of 22.4%. Squamous cell carcinoma showed a significantly higher incidence in male patients (75,8% vs. 24,2%). Furthermore, the proportion of smokers was higher among the patients diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma compared to those diagnosed with adenocarcinoma (94% versus 80%).
