Thorax Ct-Scan image and demographic factors of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. As a result, CT scans are crucial in the detection and staging of lung cancer and patient follow-up after treatment. The objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics of lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and how they relate to demographic factors such as age, gender, and smoking history. This study uses thoracic CT-scan images to detect and stage lung cancer and monitor lung cancer patients after treatment. This research employed a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical approach. From July 2017 to December 2019, lung cancer patients underwent a chest CT scan at the Respira Lung Hospital's Radiology Installation in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The indicators in this study included age, gender, and smoking history in adenocarcinoma or SCC patients. Data were collected through observation and documentation. The logistic regression test in SPSS 18 for Windows was used to analyze the data, with a p 0.05 threshold considered significant. The findings demonstrated that the relationship between chest CT-scan images and lung cancer detection and staging was significant, with a p-value of 0.05. Therefore, optimization of chest CT scan as a radiological modality can be used to determine the type of cytology or histology of lung cancer to improve diagnostic accuracy.
