Female lung cancer patients show better survival rates for non-resectable adenocarcinoma. Early detection through regular screenings significantly improves prognosis for women with lung cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Lung cancer incidence in women represents a significant portion of overall cases.
  • Female lung cancer patients exhibit distinct characteristics, including lower smoking prevalence.
  • Adenocarcinoma is the predominant histological subtype in women.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the epidemiological features and survival outcomes of female lung cancer patients.
  • To compare the prognosis of lung cancer in women versus men across different stages and subtypes.
  • To identify key factors influencing survival and recommend strategies for early detection.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 191 female lung cancer cases diagnosed at a single hospital.
  • Comparison of demographic, clinical, and pathological data between genders.

  • Survival analysis based on resectability, histological type, and symptom status.

    • Main Results:

    • Adenocarcinoma was the most common type (64.2%) in female lung cancer patients.
    • Asymptomatic cases detected via regular examination had significantly better prognoses.
    • Women with non-resectable adenocarcinoma showed a superior 2-year survival rate (30.8%) compared to men.

    Conclusions:

    • Early detection through regular screening is crucial for improving lung cancer outcomes in women.
    • Targeted education for high-risk women can enhance early diagnosis and treatment efficacy.
    • Peripheral adenocarcinoma, common in women, necessitates focused screening strategies.
