Bronchopulmonary cancers - Michael Tiadjue - Bog

In this study, we investigated the epidemiological and anatomopathological aspects of bronchopulmonary cancers in the Anatomie et Cytologie Pathologique department of the CHU du point G over a 5-year period from January 2014 to December 2018. Patient data were collected from the results of anatomopathological reports available in the department. The results show that: The pathology is fairly frequent, as it is found in 14.08% of all bronchopulmonary specimens. Males are the most affected. The pathology is more frequent in patients in the 61-70 age bracket. Housewives and pensioners were the most common socio-professional categories. Specimens very often came from the G-spot university hospital. Biopsy was the most frequent type of bronchopulmonary sampling. Adenocarcinoma was the most frequent histological type. The disease had a high mortality rate, estimated at 74% over the study period.
