dc.description.abstractFollowing the trends in lung cancer (LC) morbidity and mortality rates can show past trends of cigarette smoking and can give clues on some geographical factors. The demographics of LC patients and the histopathologic distribution of their disease in the Thrace region of Turkey have yet to be defined. A retrospective chart review of primary LC patients admitted to the pulmonology department of Trakya University Hospital between 1992 and 2001 was performed. Charts were available for review in 521 of 567 patients. The mean age was 61 +/- 10 years (30-86 years) and 497 (95.4%) patients were ma-le (male/female ratio= 20.7). When compared with national and international data, male/female ratio for the LC patients from Thrace region was higher than the ratio found from Turkey in general and also from other countries. Adenocarcinoma (ADC) was present in seven of the 24 (29.2%) of the females and prevalence of ADC was more than 2.5 times in females than males (p< 0.05). Squamous cell types were more common in males. Histopathological type did not vary with age in females, but small cell carcinoma was more prevalent in males under the age of 45 (44.7% if = 45 years old vs. 29.1% if > 45 years old, p< 0.05). These data may support that the LC associated with smoking is in the earlier phase of the epidemic in Thrace region. Monitoring the LC trend in our region can give clues on evolving cigarette design and smoking attitudes and geographic factors.en_US
