Abstract
In this prospective study we examined 78 primary lung cancer cases who were operable according to clinical assesment and preoperative evaluation. We evaluated the age, smoking history, symptoms, chest X-ray and thoracic computed tomography (CT) findings, diagnostic procedures and histopathologic types. One case was female and 77 cases were male. Mean age was 58.32±8.5 (40-76 years of age). Two patients had no smoking history, 63 patients were exsmokers and 13 patients were still smoking. The range of smoked cigarette were 0-150 pack/years and mean was 54.77±35.66 (0-150) packs/ years.The most frequent symptom was cough (75.6 %). The tumor was most commonly located in the right lung (53.8 %) and centrally (56.4 %). In chest X-ray and thorax CT solid lesion was the most common (80.8 %) and hilar enlargement was the second common radiological appearence (43,6 %). Most frequently used diagnostic tool was fiberoptic broncoscopy (65.4 %) and epidermoid carcinoma was the most frequent histopathalogic diagnosis (60.3 %).
Özet
Bu çalışmada, klinik özellikler ve preoperatif değerlendirmeye göre operabl olan 78 birincil akciğer kanserli olgu prospektif olarak incelendi. Hastaların yaş, sigara alışkanlıkları, semptomları, posteroanterior (PA) akciğer grafisi ve bilgisayarlı göğüs tomografisi (BT) bulguları, tanı yöntemleri, histopatolojik tipleri değerlendirildi. Olguların 1'i kadın, 77'si erkekti ve yaş ortalaması 58.32±8.5 (40-76 yaş) idi. İki hasta sigara içmemiş, 63 hasta sigarayı bırakmış ve 13 hasta halen sigara içmekteydi. İçilen sigara miktarı 0-150 paket/yıl arasında değişirken ortalama 54.77±35.66 (0-150) paket/yıldı.En sık rastlanan semptom öksürüktü (% 75.6). Akciğer grafisinde lezyon daha çok sağda (% 53.8) ve santral (% 56.4) yerleşimli idi. PA akciğer grafisi ve bilgisayarlı tomografide en sık kitle lezyonu (% 80.8), 2. sıklıkta ise hiler genişleme (% 43.6) tespit edildi. En sık kullanılan tanı yöntemi fiberoptik bronkoskopi (% 65.4) idi. En sık saptanan histopatolojik tip ise epidermoid karsinomdu (% 60.3).
