ABSTRACT
Several scientific publications have reported a progressive shift in the distribution of the histologic subtypes of lung carcinoma in the latter decades of the 20th century, with adenocarcinoma now surpassing squamous cell carcinoma as the most commonly diagnosed morphologic pattern. A 30-year review (1968-1997) of lung cancer cases registered in the Jamaica cancer registry shows a similar trend among males in Kingston and St Andrew with a progressive increase in the documented cases of adenocarcinoma relative to squamous cell carcinoma. Similar changes were not observed in females.
RESUMEN
Varias publicaciones científicas han reportado un desplazamiento progresivo en la distribución de los subtipos histológicos del carcinoma pulmonar en las últimas décadas del siglo 20. En las mismas se evidencia que, en el presente, el adenocarcinoma supera al carcinoma celular escamoso como patrón morfológico más comúnmente diagnosticado. Una revisión de 30 años (1968–1997) de casos de cáncer pulmonar registrados en el registro de cáncer de Jamaica, muestra una tendencia similar entre los hombres en Kingston y Saint Andrew, con un aumento progresivo en los casos documentados de adenocarcinoma en relación con el carcinoma celular escamoso. No se observaron cambios similares en las mujeres.
