| description | Introduction: lung cancer is defined as a set of diseases resulting from the malignant growth of cells in the respiratory tract; lung tissue in particular.
Objective: to determine the risk factors for lung cancer.
Method: an observational, analytical of case-control study was conducted. Out of the 1263 patients, 28 patients with a diagnosis of lung cancer comprised the case group and 28 patients who did suffer from the disease included the control group. Descriptive statistics methods were applied, and the information collected was computerized to carry out its successive process by means of EpiInfo.
Results: male prevalence was found (53,57 %). The presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR: 3,26; CI: 1,09-9,78) and occupational exposure (OR: 3,86; CI: 1,26-11,8) increased the risk of lung cancer. Smoking was the risk factor with the highest incidence (67,85 % of cases, 60,71 % of controls).
Conclusions: male sex, presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, occupational exposure and smoking habit are related to the presence of lung cancer. |
