[Epidemiologic study of 1665 cases of bronchogenic neoplasms collected at the S. Luigi Gonzaga Hospital between 1973 and 1979].
Data regarding 1,665 cases of benign and malignant lung cancers are examined and frequency behaviour analysed by histological type, sex, age groups and site of onset. Results are compared with other reported data and it is concluded that there is a considerable increase in dyskaryokinesis in both sexes, especially females (particularly epidermoid forms), and that there is a shift in maximum incidence towards more advanced age groups. No variation was seen, however, with respect to the frequency of bronchial tree localisation.
