Longer survival after resection of non-small cell lung cancer in Japanese women

Department of Surgery II, Faculty of Medicine, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan.

From 1974 to 1988, 492 patients (361 male and 131 female) with non- small cell lung cancer underwent pulmonary resection at our department. A retrospective study was done with special reference to the sex of the patients. There was no sex-related association with age distribution, operation, pathological T or N status, or staging. On the other hand, 77.9% of women had an adenocarcinoma and only 44.6% of men had this type of lesion. This was considered at least partly a result of sex difference in smoking habits. Women survived for a significantly longer time (p = 0.0036), and this difference could not be explained by differences in histological type. Presumably, hormonal factor(s) may contribute to the prognosis.
