Abstract

In 2015, 61 patients diagnosed with lung cancer treated at the Radiology Service of “Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso” Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, were observed and conducted descriptive and cross-sectional studies to characterize them according to the variables of interest. The results were organized into frequency distributions and single-input and two-input tables were compiled to establish certain relationships between the variables. Male (55.7%), 60–69 age group (39.3%), history of chronic bronchitis in male and female (75.4%), cough as the main symptom (63.9%), peripheral localization (78.7%) and adenocarcinoma as the histological type (57.4%). At the time of diagnosis, most patients are at the last stage of the disease, so studies are recommended for all patients at risk.
