| Abstract | ||
| The study covered 3190 pulmonary TB patients admitted to Ibn-Zuhur Chest Hospital (Al-Twatha previously) during the 1990s (1st Jan-1990 - 31st Dec. 1999), with age of 45-75 years. Lung cancer incidence was recorded in 106 (3.3%). Cancer cases estimated in different age group. In addition radiological examination and cytological investigation and symptoms were recorded for the TB patients with lung cancer. Statistical analysis showed a significance dependence of lung cancer on TB incidence (Multiple correlation coefficient = 0.834, p > 0.02). it has been found that the risk age group is 55-64 year (53%) which is significant (p > 0.005). Results of Radiological examination revealed the highest occurrence of Hilar opacity (36%) which was statistically significant (p > 0.005). Cytological investigation showed the high significancey of squamous cell cancer (56.6%, p> 0.005). Clinically high percentage of patients were suffering from hemopthysis (40.6%) which was statically significant (p > 0.005) | ||
