Abstract
Background: In developed countries, lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death for both men and women. In the last three decades, its incidence and mortality rates have decreased. Contrary to this, lung cancer remains a major cause of death and incidence in developing nations. Smoking is responsible for most lung cancer deaths.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to study the clinical presentations, the radiological and histopathological appearance of lung cancer and various factors contributing to lung cancer.

Materials and Methods: All clinically suspicious patients who came to SSG hospital were sent for radiological and histopathological confirmation for lung cancer. Hence, a total of 50 patients were selected during the period of December 2020–December 2021.

Results: Out of the total of 50 cases, male to female ratio was 4.5:1. The prevalence of smoking was 66% (n = 33). All smokers were male. The most common histological subtype was Squamous cell carcinoma (n = 25.50%), followed by adenocarcinoma (n = 15.30%) and small cell carcinoma in 10 patients (20%). The most common metastasis was lymph node metastasis (n = 9.43%), followed by liver metastasis (n = 4.19%) and vertebral metastasis (n = 4.19%). Smoking is the principal risk factor for lung cancer.

Conclusion: Histologically, squamous cell carcinoma remains the most common. A poor prognosis is associated with patients who were diagnosed late in the disease. Hence, smoking cessation program and screening program for the detection of lung cancer are essential.

Key words: Lung Cancer; Radiological; Histopathological; Squamous Cell Carcinoma; Adenocarcinoma; Small Cell Carcinoma
