AbstractAim: The aim of the present study was to find out the correlation between clinico-radiological profiles withhistopathological patterns of lung cancer.Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study conducted at over a duration of 1 year patients withhistopathologically confirmed lung cancer. A total of 200 histopathologically confirmed diagnosed patients withlung cancer were included in the study.Results: There were 36% and 35% of patients who belonged to age between 51-60 year and 60-70 yearrespectively. Out of 200 patients, 170 patients were smokers, 90 patients had a prior history of COPD, andlymphadenopathy was present in 20 patients. The ECOG performance status 37% of patients remained on scale2, followed by 35% on scale 3. Among the clinical symptoms, cough was present in (85%), breathlessness(60%), chest pain (56%) followed by hemoptysis, sputum production, voice change, and superior vena cavaobstruction. Radiological examination showed mass lesion as the most common finding (80%) followed bycollapse (9%) and pleural effusion (5%). Correlation of histopathological types with radiological findingsshowed that mass lesion was the major finding in both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Pleuraleffusion was present in about more than half of the patients with adenocarcinoma. Lymphadenopathy was onlypresent in adenocarcinoma.Conclusion: This study showed that smoking is a principal risk factor in causation of lung carcinoma. It wasseen to present more frequently in elderly age groups. Patients commonly present with chief complaints ofsmoking and breathlessness. Further investigations should be carried out in such circumstances to confirm thediagnosis
