title: [Lung cancer in Internal Medicine].
abstract: In order to study the several forms of presentation of lung cancer in our environment, we have analyzed characteristics, age, tobacco consumption, stage of onset and location of initial metastasis in 20 patients in whom the diagnosis of this neoplasia had been established. The still low incidence of lung cancer among the female population is the more significant feature of our group of patients, compared with other series from Anglo-Saxon countries.
