Introduction. Lung cancer is the leading cause of death from malignancy in
Serbia. Objective. This is a retrospective analysis of lung cancer
epidemiological changes regarding to its histological type and patients’ age
of both genders. Data were based on surgically treated lung cancer patients
from 1985 to 2005. Methods. Data were collected from 972 pathohistological
reports of operated patients of both genders divided into age groups.
Histological types of lung cancer were distributed in four major groups:
squamous cell cancer (SCC), adenocarcinoma (AC), small cell cancer (SCLC) and
other rare histological types. Both genders together and separately were
analysed. Chi-square with the level of significance p<0.05 and chi-square
test for trends were used as statistical methods. Results. SCC predominated
in both genders; in 44.7% females and 68.0% males. AC was less frequently
diagnosed (21.8%) than SCC (64.0%) in both genders and all age groups. The
most frequently operated patients were aged between 51 and 60 years (36.6%)
with SCC and AC predominance. Three patients with SCLC were operated in 61-70
age-group. In age-group up to 30 years, three (0.5%) patients were operated
on for SCC and other rare lung tumours, respectively. Predominance of other
rare lung tumours was established in 51-60 age-group, 25% of patients of both
genders. Conclusion. SCC is the most frequent histological type of lung
cancer found in all age groups and in both genders of surgically treated
patients.
