ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the incidence trend, clinical characteristics and prognosis of lung cancer in Ma'anshan area. Methods The data of 398 lung cancer patients admitted to the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Maanshan People's Hospital in Ma'anshan area from January 2018 to May 2022 were selected, and the composition ratio of age, sex, histology and outcome data and its change trend over time were analyzed. Results The minimum age of lung cancer patients in this area was 35 years old, the maximum age was 92 years old, and the average age was (69.94 ± 9.76) years old . The patients were mainly from 70 to 79 years old, followed by 60 to 69 years old and >80 years old . The number of patients was decreasing year by year . The patients with squamous cell carcinoma transferred from 60 to 69 years old to 70 to 79 years old, and adenocarcinoma mainly concentrated in 70 to 79 years old . The incidence of squamous cell carcinoma increased (P=0.006), while that of adenosquamous carcinoma decreased (P=0.005) . The improved discharge rate of lung cancer was increasing year by year (P<0.001) , and the cured discharge rate (P=0.044) was decreasing year by year. The improved discharge rate of men was increasing year by year (P=0.039) , while the improved discharge rate of women was decreasing and then increasing, and the improved discharge rate in 2020 was the lowest (P=0.027) . The mortality increased with age (P=0.002). Conclusion From 2018 to 2022, the number of patients in Ma'anshan area will decrease year by year . The patients were mainly in the 70-79 age group . The incidence rate of adenocarcinoma was the highest , while the incidence rate and age of squamous cell carcinoma were on the rise . The overall improvement discharge rate is increasing year by year , and the cure discharge rate is decreasing year by year. The improvement discharge rate for men is increasing year by year , and vice versa for women.
