Statistics

La incidencia del cáncer de pulmón en la provincia de Zaragoza correspondiente a los años 1980 a 1985, fue de 33.68 casos por 100.000 habitantes y año (un total de 1.076 casos registrados) de los que el 70,20% habitaban en medio urbano y el 29,79% restante en rural. La edad media de los pacientes estudiados fue de 65.84 años, siendo el grupo de edad de 60-70 años el más afectado. El tipo histológico más frecuentemente observado era carcinoma escamoso (53,22%) seguido del adenocarcinoma (22,61%) y del carcinoma microcítico (14.29%). La supervivencia media objetivada sobre un total de 242 pacientes fue de 9,18 meses, sin observarse diferencias en cuanto al sexo.

Nuestros resultados señalan a nuestra provincia entre los primeros lugares del país en cuanto a la incidencia del cáncer de pulmón, siguiendo las mismas tendencias respecto a las variables estudiadas que en el resto de los países desarrollados.

The incidence of pulmonary cancer in the province of Zaragoza during the period 1980 to 1985 was 33,68 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year (a total number of 1,706 cases were recorded).

The most frequent histological type was squamous cell carcinoma (53,22%) followed by adenocarcinoma (22,61%) and microcytic carcinoma (14,29%). The mean survival among a series of 242 patients was 9.18 months, and no differences related to sex were observed.
