title: [Lung cancer in women in Moscow (epidemiology, etiology and surgical treatment)].
abstract: In the studied period (1973-1987) the lung carcinoma morbidity rate among females of Moscow, in general intensive indices (per 100,000 females), showed a tendency to reduce (18.4 in 1973 and 15.1 in 1987). A reverse tendency is mostly encountered in other countries. More than half of patients with lung carcinoma were over 70 years of age. The ratio of males with lung carcinoma to that of females grew from 3.0:1.0 in 1973-1977 to 3.6:1.0 in 1983-1987. In the period from 1979 to 1988, 380 females suffering from carcinoma of the lung were hospitalized to the thoracic department of the clinic. Operations were performed on 215 of them, 174 of the operations were radical. The ratio of operated on males to females was 7.4:1.0. The frequency of central carcinoma among females was 28.8%, which was half that among males (56%). The number of operations according to volume was as follows: pulmonectomy 37, lob- and bilobectomy 119, wedge resection 18. More than half of the female patients had the glandular form of lung carcinoma and its incidence was 3-5 times that among males who were operated on (10-15%). According to the authors, the principal etiological factors are smoking, a history of another malignant tumor, and the exogenous effect of the consequences of urbanization.
