Abstract

Objective: Lung cancer and tuberculosis (TB) are the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. In the coexistence of the two diseases, there is a multifactorial effect such as smoking and other underlying comorbid diseases, and sufficient evidence has not been collected. Demonstrating the relationship between these two important public health problems, will contribute to both the treatment of tuberculosis, the cancer screening program and the mechanism of carcinogenesis. Method: Between 01.01.2013 and 31.12.2016, 1004 patients diagnosed with active pulmonary tuberculosis who were hospitalized in the TB ward were analyzed retrospectively and 39 patients who were diagnosed with TB and diagnosed with lung cancer cytologically/histopathologically were examined in the study. Results: In our study, TB lung cancer coexistence was found in 39 (3.88%) of all cases (n=1004). Majority of the patients had squamous cells (n=23, 58.9%) and consisted of stage III-IV (n=34, 87.1%) patients at the time of diagnosis. Patients diagnosed with lung cancer had a history of smoking (n=25, 64.1%). Median survival in all stages was 8.94 (95% CI, 3.91-13.97) months, compared to 8.94 months in stages I and II, 7.89 months in stage III, and 3.58 months in stage IV. month (p=0.381). While death was observed in 37 (94.8%) of our patients, the follow-up of 2 (5.12%) patients continues. Conclusion: In our study, the coexistence of TB and lung cancer was investigated and mostly squamous cytology was found to be dominant. TB can mask lung cancer clinically and radiologically, causing delay in the diagnosis of lung cancer, diagnosis of patients at an advanced stage, and delays in treatment. Ineffectiveness of treatment despite specific treatment in patients followed up with a diagnosis of TB should bring to mind the diagnosis of lung cancer and patients should be followed in this direction.

Özet

İki hastalığın birlikteliğinde sigara içimi, altta yatan diğer komorbid hastalıklar gibi multifaktöriyel etkilenme söz konusu olup yeterli kanıt toplanamamıştır. İki önemli halk sağlığı problemi olan bu iki hastalığın birbiri ile ilişkisinin gösterilmesi hem tüberküloz tedavisine hem de kanser tarama programı ve karsinogenez mekanizmasına katkı sağlayacaktır. Yöntem: 01.01.2013-31.12.2016 tarihleri arasında TB servisinde yatarak izlenen 1004 aktif akciğer tüberkülozu tanılı hasta retrospektif incelenmiş ve TB tanısı ile izlenen hastalardan sito/histopatolojik olarak akciğer kanseri tanısı alan 39 hasta çalışmada incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda tüm vakaların (n=1004) 39’unda (%3,88) TB akciğer kanseri birlikteliği saptanmıştır. Hastaların büyük bir kısmı squamöz hücreli (n=23, % %58,9) olup tanı anında evre III-IV (n=34, %87,1) hastalardan oluşmaktaydı. Akciğer kanseri tanısı alan hastaların çoğunluğunda sigara içme öyküsü mevcuttu (n=25, %64,1). Tüm evrelerde medyan sağkalım 8,94 (%95 Cl, 3,91-13,97) ay iken evre I ve II’de 8,94 ay, Evre III’de 7,89 ay, Evre IV’de ise 3,58 aydı (p=0,381). Hastalarımızdan 37’sinde (%94,8) ölüm görülürken 2 (%5,12) hastanın takibi devam etmektedir. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda TB ile akciğer kanseri birlikteliği araştırılmış ve çoğunlukla squamöz sitolojinin hakim olduğu görülmüştür. TB klinik ve radyolojik olarak akciğer kanserini maskeleyip, akciğer kanseri tanısında gecikmeye, hastaların ileri evrede tanı almasına ve tedavide gecikmelere neden olabilir. TB tanısıyla takip edilen hastalarda spesifik tedaviye rağmen tedavisinin etkisiz olması akla akciğer kanseri tanısını getirmeli ve hastalar bu yönde takip edilmelidir.
