Abstract

Background and objectives: Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers and cause of cancer related deaths throughout the world. In India, it is the commonest type of cancer among males accounting for 10.9% of all cancer cases. The clinical presentation of these patients can be so varied. Early diagnosis and treatment might be helpful in these patients. In this study we aim to analyse the clinicopatholgical and radiological profile of lung cancer patients.
Study Design: Hospital based cross-sectional study.
Subjects: 75 patients with suspected neoplastic lung lesions attending to the Department of Tuberculosis and Chest Medicine were included in the study.  Patients with metastatic lung lesions resembling lung malignancy were excluded from the study. 
Results:  Majority of the subjects were in the age group of 61 to 70 years (25%). Most of the subjects were males (90.7%). The most common tumour was squamous cell carcinoma (84%), followed by adenocarcinoma (10.7%). Mostly the patients presented with breathlessness. There was no significant association between cigarette smoking and type of lung cancer. In both smokers and non smokers squamous cell carcinoma was the most predominant type.
Conclusion: It was concluded that old age is a major risk factor for lung cancer. Predominant symptom of lung cancer was breathlessness. On bronchoscopic examination, most of the lesions were intraluminal. Squamous cell carcinoma was the most predominant type of carcinoma and there was no significant association between smoking and type of lung carcinoma.
