| Popis: | Purpose: In this study, we aimed to find out the survival probabilities and lifestyle of lung and throat cancer patients in Bangladesh. Methods: The dataset was collected from the several hospitals of eight divisional cities in Bangladesh using a semi-structured questionnaire in two time points initially and after 12 months. Descriptive statistical tools, Multiple Reponses analysis, Factor analysis and Kaplan –Meier survival curve were used to analyze the data. Results: The results revealed that prevalence of lung cancer is 6.7% and for throat it is 9.6%. It was observed that whose father had lung or throat cancer; they have more chance to be affected by the cancer. It was also found that median survival time of lung cancer (18.88 months) patients is more than that of throat cancer ( 10.67 months) patients. Communalities of Smoking (0.788) and fast food (0.785) were found highest compare to other lifestyle factors. Conclusions: Taken together, we conclude that survival probabilities of lung cancer patients are higher than throat cancer patients and smoking and fast food are highly related with lung and throat cancer. Therefore, we should avoid smoking and fast food to improve public health sectors in Bangladesh. |
