Objective: The mortality and the characteristics of the prisoners diagnosed as lung cancer were not clear. It is aimed to compare survival rates of lung cancer in prisoners with those of the general population. Method: A total of 57 patients including 27 prisoners and 30 lung cancer patients from general population who were followed up between 2010 and 2014 were included in this study. The study was designed as retrospective case series. The patients’ age, life span, duration of symptoms, largest tumor diameter in thorax CT, routine biochemical and hemogram values were recorded. Results: Fifty-seven male patients were included in the study. The mean age was 60.46 years. The most common stage was stage 4 disease in both groups. The most frequent site of metastases was the lung, and the most common location was the upper lobe. Symptom duration, calcium, C-reactive protein and sedimentation values were significantly higher in the convicted groups (p<0.01). When compared with respect to survival, shorter life spans were found in lung cancer prisoners relative to the general population. Conclusion: Lung cancer in convicted population has a shorter life span compared to lung cancer diagnosed in the general population.
