This is causing by an increasing tobacco consumption rate, especially in developing countries. For other risk factors that associate with lung cancer were sex, age and metropolitan people. Aim: To study clinical characteristics and pathologic profiles correlation of primary lung cancer in Thailand's metropolitan medical center Method: A retrospective study in Vajira hospital. The study population with diagnosed with primary lung cancer between January 2016, and May 2021. The information was collected: sex, age, pathologic profile, and stage. Results: A total of 110 primary lung cancer patients were found at Vajira Hospital from January 2013 to June 2021, consisting of 52 males (47.3%) and 58 females (52.7%). The mean age for patients at the time of diagnosis was 62.93 years.
