Abstract

Abstract


Eight hundred and eighty one cases of lung Cancer admitted during 1981-86 were retrospectively analysed. Eight hundred and twenty three (93.4%) were above and 58 (6.6%) below the age of 40 years. Percentage increase of adenocarcinoma was significantly higher in young females. No significant difference in the operability or inoperability was seen amongst the two groups. Fifty eight (63.8%) patients below 40 years were smokers. It is suggested that preventing initiation of smoking may minimize the risk of lung Cancer, as it does for other malignancies
