Abstract

Background: In Bangladesh, stage IV non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the second most common cancer in males among top five most frequent cancers and the increase in lung cancer risk among women reflects changes during the 20^th century. Prior conception on the demographic profile of patients with Stage-IV NSCLC may be helpful for the good management of such patients. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to form the demographic profile of patients with stage IV non-small-cell lung cancer. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in National Institute of Cancer Research & Hospital (NICRH), Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from September 2019 to August 2020. A total of 108 patients were enrolled purposively. Detailed history taking thorough physical examination was done along with relevant investigations regarding the demographic and clinical status of the participants. Data were collected by semi structured questionnaire and analysis was done with the help of SPSS version 21.0 and MS Office programs as per need. Results: In this study, almost two third (62%) patients were from <60 years’ age group and the rest 38% were from >60 years’ age group. The mean age was found 56.4±12.2 years and the male-female ratio was 4: 1. More than half (52.8%) of the patients came from poor families, 42 (38.9%) were from middle class and the rest 9 (8.3%) were from high class families. More than one third (36.1%) patients were farmer followed by 31 (28.7%) were businessmen, 25 (23.1%) were service holder and the rest 13 (12.1%) were house wife. Conclusion: As per the findings of this study we can conclude that, male may be major prone to stage IV non-small-cell lung cancer. The frequencies of mid-aged patients of NSCLC are alarming.
