Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the percentage of patients with lung cancer associated with pulmonary tuberculosis, and difference between those who only suffered from lung cancer and those who had lung cancer associated with any kind of pulmonary tuberculosis. In that sense two groups of patients: first one--110 lung cancer cases with different forms of pulmonary tuberculosis (investigated group), and second one--686 patients without any signs of pulmonary tuberculosis (control group) were studied and compared. Three scare cancers were squamous, three were adenocarcinoma and one undifferentiated cell type.
