ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/AIMS:
This study examined the clinical characteristics of patients with lung cancer who were diagnosed at the Gachon University of Medicine and Science Gil Hospital from January 2006 to December 2008.METHODS:
The lung cancer data were downloaded from the hospital medical information system using cancer registration information. The patient clinical characteristics were analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS:
A total of 713 patients were diagnosed with lung cancer. Their median age was 69 years, 78.1% were over 60 years old, and 73.1% and 58.2% were men and smokers, respectively. Adenocarcinoma (32.7%) was the most common histologic type, followed by squamous carcinoma (25.9%), unclassifiable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (17.3%), and small-cell carcinoma (SCLC) (15.0%). In the NSCLC group, the stage at diagnosis was IA (1.5%), IB (5.6%), IIA (1.3%), IIB (4.3%), IIIA (5.4%), IIIB (23.1%), IV (47.7%), and unknown (11.1%). In the SCLC group, 20.6% of the patients were in the limited stage, 76.6% were in the extensive stage, and 2.8% were unknown. The patients were treated by surgery (9.8%), concurrent chemoradiotherapy (6.7%), radiotherapy only (5.9%), chemotherapy (32.4%), or best supportive care only (29.7%). The median overall survival was 15.3 months (95% CI, 11.5~19.1). The median survival based on histology was adenocarcinoma (35.0 months), squamous (13.5 months), NSCLC (14.2 months), and SCLC (11.8 months) (p=0.0445).CONCLUSIONS:
Adenocarcinoma was the most common histologic type at our institute. Most patients were over 60 years of age (78.1%) and had stage III/IV (76.3%) cancer. The survival of patients with adenocarcinoma was longer than that for the other histological types.
