A study was carried out in 138 lung cancer patients from the Department of Radiology and Physiotherapy of the Faculty of Medicine of Cadiz between 1983 and 1986. The patients were classified according to the pathologic anatomy in order to analyze the statistical variations in relation to sex, localization, metastases, clinical stage and radiation therapy. The obtained results about the form of presentation and behavior of each one of the pathologic anatomy types of lung carcinoma agree in some aspects with other works that have been consulted, and may help the radiotherapists in their clinical and therapeutic approach.
