A retrospective study of 2385 Chinese patients with proven carcinoma of lung was performed. The autopsy incidence was 3.3%. Most patients presented in the seventh decade. The age distribution was 24-94 yrs with a mean age of 63 yrs. The four major histologic types (37.3% of adenocarcinoma, 33.4% of squamous cell carcinoma, 13.7% of small cell carcinoma and 14.7% of large cell carcinoma) accounted for 99.1% of the cases. Among the four, adenocarcinoma was the most common histologic type, particularly for females and there has been an increase in the incidence of adenocarcinoma in recent years. This trend has been observed and reported in many affluent countries. In Hong Kong, the frequency of adenocarcinoma among Chinese females is exceptionally high.
对2385例经证实的中国肺癌患者进行了回顾性研究。尸检发病率为3.3%。大多数患者出现在七十岁左右。年龄分布为24至94岁，平均年龄为63岁。四种主要组织学类型（腺癌占37.3%，鳞状细胞癌占33.4%，小细胞癌占13.7%，大细胞癌占14.7%）占病例的99.1%。在这四种类型中，腺癌是最常见的组织学类型，尤其是女性，并且近年来腺癌的发病率有所上升。许多富裕国家都观察到并报道了这种趋势。在香港，中国女性中腺癌的发生率异常高。
