Objective:To investigate the clinical features of 84 female cases with primary bronchogenic carcinoma. Methods:A retrospective study of 84 female cases and 165 male patients with lung cancer that enrolled in Jiangsu province hospital was conducted. Results:During this study,the mean age of female patients was (59.2 ± 12.2) years. Compared with male patients,lower incidence of hemoptysis (P < 0.05),higher prevalence of peripheral lung cancer was seen in female patients,and the main pathological type was adenocarcinoma (P < 0.05). The incidence of lung adenocarcinoma in the cooking group is higher than the non－cooking group(χ2 = 10.2,P = 0.001). Conclusion:The female primary bronchogenic carcinoma is common,mainly middle－aged;the pathological type is mainly adenocarcinoma,closely relating to the cooking.
