SMOKING, LUNG CANCER, TREATMENT.Abstract
Introduction: smoking has a high incidence in lung cancer and causes increasing mortality every day if this pathology is diagnosed in advanced clinical stages.
Objective: determine the influence that smoking has on lung cancer in adults from 2019 to 2022, General Hospital of the Ecuadorian Institute of Social Security, Ambato.
Methods: observational, descriptive cross-sectional study to determine the influence of tobacco consumption on lung cancer in adults from 2019 to 2022. The universe, 32 patients with a diagnosis of lung cancer, in any of its variants, and four doctors coincide with the sample based on intentional non-probabilistic sampling. Graphs and percentage data were used for comparison and better understanding.
Results: 65,6 % of patients diagnosed with lung cancer smoked more than one pack a day before the disease was detected. On the other hand, 21,9 % had smoked two packs of cigarettes a day. A percentage of 56,3 % patients had started smoking at 12 years of age and as a second option we have a percentage of 37,5 % of patients who have started smoking at 20 years of age.
Conclusions: smoking has been widely studied as a cause of pulmonary carcinomatosis, and it is well established that the risk of developing the disease increases with an earlier age of onset, greater number and years of smoking, and genetic predisposition.
