title: [Clinical data and descriptive epidemiology of primary bronchial cancer. 9 years of activity of the Isère Registry].
abstract: Systematical registration of morbidity for lung carcinoma of the primary type was performed since January 1979 for the department of Isere, where a population of 940,000 inhabitants are living. Results for nine years registration (1979-1987) are dealing with 2,590 new cases. Crude incidence for primary lung carcinoma is 55.7 per 100,000 among men, and 5.9 for women (sex ratio: 11.7). Upper lobe is the site more concerned. There is no preference as regard laterality. When lymphatic nodes are explored (32%), there is an extension of the carcinoma for 75.2% of them. At the moment of the diagnostic, there is already a metastasis for 24% of the patients, mainly for bones. Among men and women, proportions for the squamous cell type are respectively 52.6% and 22.3% (60.8% and 28.7% of histologically identified cases), for the small cell type: 18.4% and 16.3% (21.2% and 21.0% of histologically identified cases), and for glandular carcinomas: 13.2% and 32.1% (11.9% and 41.5% of histologically identified cases). Results of the pathological examination are known in 92.8% for primary lung carcinoma cases. As regard first course treatment, surgery is performed in 34.9% of the cases, radiotherapy in 60.4%, and chemotherapy in 32.2%. Fairly high incidence of lung carcinoma in man in Isere, contrasts with rather low incidence in woman, a situation rather different that the one in England and North America, where figures for women are slowly gaining over the one's for men.
