PROFILE OF LUNG CANCER IN THE INSTALLATION cytology Anatomic Pathology department of DR.Sardjito YEAR 2013
ABSTRACT: Background: Lung cancer is the most frequent and one of the most deadly cancer types in both gender. Histopathology examination is required to determined cancer, however it is an invasive method, Therefore cytopathologic examination can be considered as an alternative examination. DR.Sardjito General Hospital is the referred hospital in D.I. Yogyakarta and Central Java, however the data concerning lung cancer profile in this hospital have not been documented yet. Objective: The aim of this study is to provide cytopathologic profile of lung cancer diagnosed in Department of Pathology Anatomy DR. Sardjito General Hospital year 2013. Method: This research is an observational descriptive study. All cytologic examination form in the year of 2013 collected from Department of Pathology Anatomy, DR.Sardjito General Hospital. Then lung cancer cases is analyzed by age, gender, and the subtype. Result: Fifty eight (29 %) out of 198 research subjects, were lung malignancies. These cases consist of 38 lung carcinoma, 1 pulmonary blastome, 1 pleural mesothelioma, 17 metastasize and 1 unclassified. Proportion of lung carcinoma cases is 71% (27 cases) in male and 29% (11 cases) in female. Proportion of each subtype of lung carcinoma including Adenocarcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Large Cell Carcinoma and Small Cell Carcinoma is 13 cases (48,1%) ,5 cases (18,5%),6 cases (22,2%),3 cases (11,1%) in male and 6 cases (54,5%),4 cases (36,4%),in female respectively. No cases of Large Cell Carcinoma and Small Cell Carcinoma found in female. There is one unclassified subtype of Non-small cell lung carcinoma in female group. Mean age of lung cancer patient is 55 ± 16,96. In addition, the distribution of lung cancer is 1 case (2,6%) age group <20, 4 (10,5%) age group 21-30, 1 (2,6%) age group 31-40, 10 (26,3%) age group 41-50, 6 (15,8%) age group 51-60, 8 (21,1%) age group 61-70, 7 (18,4%) age group 71-80, and 1 (2,6%) age group >80. Conclusion: The mean age of Lung cancer patients is 55 ± 16,96 years old mean age, with peak incidence at 41-50 y.o. age groups (26,3%). Adenocarcinoma is the most common subtype of lung cancer found in both gender (48,1% in male and 54,5% in female). Meanwhile, incidence ratio in lung carcinoma is 2,5:1 between male and female.
