According to the World Health Organization (WHO) is the second leading cause of death worldwide, second only to the diseases cardiovasculares.Temos national high incidence of patients with advanced lung cancer. There unpredictability of epidemiological profiles and therapeutic responses. Molecular biology has been important in the characterization of tumor differentiation and prognosis of the disease. New treatments are directed by pharmacogenomic characteristics. Little is known about the prevalence of these genes in Cearáand Latin America as well as on clinical characteristics and outcomes related. Objective: To identify the characteristics and distribution of the epidemiological profile of patients with advanced lung cancer, treated at the oncology clinic at the Messejana Hospital - Dr. Carlos Alberto Studart. Material and Methods: An observational, prospective and analytical study with inclusion of 135 patients with advanced lung cancer, between 08/2012 to 12/2014; being analyzed for the distribution of origin by frequency, sex, race, education, clinical complaints, smoking and molecular profile. Results: There was a predominance in the success of patients from small towns of Ceará(69%); female patients (51.1%), low education (first degree or less -19%), farmers (22.4%), Pardos (47.4%) and smokers. (79%) The histological subtype was adenocarcinoma predominantly (32.5%). Dyspnea was the main complaint clinica.O predominant initial treatment occurred in hospital stay (75.5%). Conclusion: In this group of patients identified a profile of epidemiological characteristics. Created a hospital cancer registry. There proportionality results with the literature.
