【 摘 要 】

A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 125 patients with lung cancer, admitted and diagnosed in the Pneumology Service of "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso"    Teaching General Hospital  in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January, 2015 to October, 2016, aimed at characterizing them according to clinical and epidemiological variables of interest, besides genetic and non genetic risk factors, independently from the histological characteristics and the clinical stage of the neoplastic process. Among the predominant results there were the male sex and the age group 51-69, although the increment of the females and of patients in the youngest ages in the life was evident --, equally the bronchoscopy as diagnostic method, the localization in the right lung, the adenocarcinoma as histological variety, smoking habit among non genetic risk factors and the first degree relation in the genetic factors.  Most of the affected patients presented a clinical course shorter than a year and a high percentage were in the stage IV of the disease.
