Analysis of clinical features in male cases of lung adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma

OBJECTIVE:To observe the chinical features of male patients with lung adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma. METHODS:A total of 128 cases were investigated, all of them were hospoitalized male patients with lung adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma.RESULTS:The age of 35.0%(21/60)of patients was over 60 years old in lung adenocarcinoma,and 48.5% (33/68) of patients was over 60 years old in lung squamous carcinoma.Most of lung carcinoma patients were cadres,workers and peasants.Most of the adenocarcinoma patients were in Stage Ⅳ,about 56.7%(34/60),and most of the squamous carcinoma patients were in Stage Ⅲ, about 58.9%(40/68). Metastasis happened in 65% (39/60) of adenocarcinoma patients and 30.9%(21/68) of squamous carcinoma patients.CONCLUSINOS: Lung adenocarcinoma patients are younger than squamous carcinoma patients.The TNM stages of lung carcinoma are later and metastasis happenes earlier in adenocarcinoma.However, there is no difference of occupation between adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma patients.The proportion who can be cured by surgical treatment is low.
