Objective:
To assess the incidence, mortality, and survival of lung cancer in Menorca (Balearic Islands, Spain).
Methods:
All cases detected between 1990 and 1993, were collected retrospectively, using the cancer registry methodology.
Results:
The incidence rate observed was 47.7 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year, while the mortality rate was 44.2. Mean age of patient was 67.5 years 90% of whom were male. The most frequently observed histological type was the epidermoid carcinoma (43% of cases), followed by the small-cell carcinoma (20%) and the adenocarcinoma (19%). Mean survival, over a total of 141 cases studied, was about 9 months (281 days).
Conclusion:
Incidence rates adjusted by world population show that Menorca lung cancer incidence rates are in the upper range among Spanish regions.
