Abstract
Thoracic cancers especially lung cancer form a huge burden of morbidity and mortality around the world. The first question most patients ask after receiving the biopsy report is on the type of cancer and how it spreads which gives an idea of what to expect during follow-up. Unfortunately, due to a lack of reporting, management, and documentation of thoracic neoplasms in India, there is a shortage of information on various types of thoracic neoplasms and their distribution. What we need is more data reporting, timely diagnostic strategies, and standardized reporting for pathology leading to evidence-based management strategies. To address this issue, we conducted a study to gain insights into patterns and relative frequencies of thoracic neoplasms in North Western India.

期刊介绍:
The Indian Journal of Surgical Oncology aims to encourage and promote clinical and research activities pertaining to Surgical Oncology. It also aims to bring in the concept of multidisciplinary team approach in management of various cancers.
The Journal would publish original article, point of technique, review article, case report, letter to editor, profiles of eminent teachers, surgeons and instititions - a short (up to 500 words) of the Cancer Institutions, departments, and oncologist, who founded new departments.
