Lung cancer (Ca) is the most common type of cancer in men in our country, while the sixth in women. In the lungs Ca, where the incidence increases faster and the mortality is quite high, changes in the cell types are also observed parallel to the change in the smoking habit. The objective of our clinic is to retrospective the investigation of whether the epidemic characteristics of the lungs Ca observed in the clinic have changed over the years. The demographic and epidemiological characteristics of 323 diseases diagnosed with lung Ca were studied in our clinic between 1994 and 2004. The period 1994-1999 was defined as the first period, the period 2000-2004 was defined as the second period. The variation between the lung Ca types and sex and smoking in these periods was compared. 1st period 113 (34 per cent). 98) the fact was present [16 (%14.15) women, the average age of 61.11±9.75], the number of events in the 2nd period was 210 (%65.01) [the average age of 64.45±11.11, the number of events of women was 28 (%24.77)]. 90 of the incidents in the 1.period (79.6%) were active smokers, 10 of them (11.1%) women, 172 of the incidents in the 2.period (81.90%) active smokers, 4 of them (2.32) women. The most common in both periods is lung type Ca adenocarcinoma (AK) (55.55%), and epidermoid carcinoma (EK) (58.11%) in men. In the first period of 82 smoking incidents, 46 (%56.09) EC, 25 (%30.48) small cell carcinoma (KHK), 11 (%13.41) AC were detected, while large cell carcinoma (BHK) was not detected. In the 60 of the 102 incidents smoking in the 2nd period (58.82) EC, 22 (21.56) KHK, 4 (3.92) BHK, 16 (15%). 68 is observed. As a result, it has been found that the rate of smoking has increased in men over the years, that the rate of smoking has decreased in women and that the most common EC in smoking men and the most common AC in non-smoking women. However, the increase in AC in men smoking, contrary to the expected, suggests the need to investigate other risk factors in the development of AC.
