Solid malignant tumors are abnormal masses of tissue that usually do not contain any cysts or liquid areas. The causation of these tumors is multifactorial, and the disease process differs at different sites.
This study aims to determine the clinicopathological patterns of malignant solid tumors in adult patients admitted into the department of internal medicine of a tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh.
This cross-sectional study was conducted between January 2018 and June 2018 at the Department of Medicine, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh. We recorded the complete socio-demographic characteristics, clinical patterns, and pathological characteristics of malignant solid tumors in adult patients.
A total of 100 patients with confirmed malignant solid tumors were included in our study. The mean age of the patients was 47.5 years (SD: ±4.20); most of them (27%) were between 58 and 67 years of age. Male patients constitute 59% of the total study sample. Most of the patients were of the middle socio-economic class (59%) and most of them (61%) were nonsmokers. Among the patient diagnoses, 19% had lung cancer, 29.27% had breast cancer, and in 14%, lymphoma (tumor arising from the lymphatic system) was the common solid tumor. Lung cancer was found to be the most common form of cancer in males. Additionally, the majority of those diagnosed with lung cancer smoked. Breast cancer was found to be the most common type of cancer in females.
This study reflects that solid malignant tumors can affect any socio-economic class of people. Based on findings in our study as well as others, prevention efforts should focus on the reduction in tobacco use and the incorporation of other lifestyle changes, such as diet modification and exercise. Additionally, the incorporation of economic factors and how they affect cancer presentation in different contexts is crucial.
实体恶性肿瘤是异常的组织块，通常不包含任何囊肿或液性区域。这些肿瘤的病因是多因素的，并且疾病过程在不同部位有所不同。
本研究旨在确定孟加拉国一家三级护理医院内科收治的成年患者中恶性实体肿瘤的临床病理模式。
本横断面研究于2018年1月至2018年6月在孟加拉国达卡医学院医院内科进行。我们记录了成年患者恶性实体肿瘤的完整社会人口学特征、临床模式和病理特征。
我们的研究共纳入了100例确诊为恶性实体肿瘤的患者。患者的平均年龄为47.5岁（标准差：±4.20）；其中大多数（27%）年龄在58至67岁之间。男性患者占研究总样本的59%。大多数患者属于社会经济中等阶层（59%），且大多数（61%）不吸烟。在患者诊断中，19%患有肺癌，29.27%患有乳腺癌，14%的患者中淋巴瘤（起源于淋巴系统的肿瘤）是常见的实体肿瘤。肺癌是男性中最常见的癌症形式。此外，大多数被诊断为肺癌的患者吸烟。乳腺癌是女性中最常见的癌症类型。
本研究表明实体恶性肿瘤可影响任何社会经济阶层的人群。基于我们的研究以及其他研究的结果，预防措施应侧重于减少烟草使用以及纳入其他生活方式改变，如饮食调整和运动。此外，纳入经济因素以及它们在不同背景下如何影响癌症表现至关重要。
