[Lung cancer according to autopsy data from the Pathologicoanatomical Institute in Hradec Králové (Czechoslovak SSR) for 1978].
The analysis of autopsy materials for the year revealed 75 cases of pulmonary carcinoma, predominantly in men (10.9:1). Particular attention was paid to the association of pulmonary carcinoma with the duration and intensity of cigarette smoking by the patients. The results of the comparison of these data suggest that the majority of men (94.1%) dying of pulmonary carcinoma had been inveterate smokers who had smoked on an average 388,000 cigarettes during their lifetime. A high per cent of pulmonary carcinoma among other fatal diseases and a significant number of cases of this disease unrecognized before death were noted.
