http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/pphb-dgspsp/ccdpc-cpcmc/cancer/publications/lung_e.html

Extractions: Cancer An estimated 18,800 deaths due to lung cancer will occur in Canada in 2003, and an estimated 21,100 new cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed this year alone. Lung cancer is the leading cause of death due to cancer in Canada, representing an estimated 30% of the cancer deaths in males and 25% of the cancer deaths in females. Tobacco use is the single most important preventable cause of lung cancer. A comprehensive, intersectoral approach to tobacco control including a variety of interventions, from educating the public about the adverse health effects of tobacco use, advertising restrictions to taxation, have contributed to significant decreases in its use over the past several decades.

Lung Cancer
lung cancer, The Lungs The lungs are a pair of coneshaped organs that are situated inside the chest. lung cancer takes many years to develop.
http://www.eurohealth.ie/cancom/lung.htm

Extractions: Cancer can spread from the lungs to almost any site in the body. Most commonly it spreads to the brain, bone, bone marrow and liver. Lung cancer takes many years to develop. It is the second most common cancer in women. There are two basic types of lung cancer - small cell and non-small cell cancer. These different types grow and spread in different ways. Small cell lung cancer is a disease in which cancer cells are found in the tissues of the lungs. It is usually found in people who smoke or who used to smoke cigarettes.

Extractions: five years of a diagnosis, is now the leading cause of cancer death among women. Yet the disease is as preventable as it is deadly: Nearly 90 percent of lung cancer cases are smoking-related. For the country's 23 million female smokers, the news keeps getting worse. Researchers are finding that the effects of tobacco seem to be far more damaging to women than to men. Last year, scientists at the University of Pittsburgh discovered that a gene that accelerates lung cancer growth is more active in females. The findings might explain why women are one and a half times more likely than men to develop lung cancer, even when they smoke fewer cigarettes over a shorter period of time.

Extractions: Respiratory Tract and Lung cancer Lung Cancer Chat Cancerous growths in the mouth make up one in twenty of all cases of human cancers. Oral cancer is uncommon, except among tobacco users and heavy drinkers of alcohol. Three out of five cases of oral cancers are due to alcohol or tobacco (cigarettes, pipes, cigars and smokeless tobacco, especially snuff. The risk soars for people who smoke and drink. Two packs a day and four drinks a day, for example, means 35 times greater risk. The human papilloma virus is also suspect. See cancer and parasites for more information. Malignant growths on the lips are a frequent finding in areas of the world where strong sunlight is usual. The tongue is another site of cancer, often starting as an innocuous-looking area of whitening of the noramlly pink surface. A frequent cause of tongue and mouth cancer is tobacco smoking, especially in pipes and cigars, . Lung Cancer has been on the increase since the turn of the century. Recently, however, there has been a decline in the number of men with lung cancer but a large increase in the number of women with lung cancer. Only 1 % of lung cancer patients have alveolar cell carcinoma . The rest have cancer of the bronchus (windpipe of sorts). Other types of bronchial cancer are Oat Cell (small cell) cancer

The death rate in Wales is amongst the highest in the United Kingdom but it is now beginning to fall. The 5 year survival rate for lung cancer in men in Wales was less than 10% for cancers diagnosed between 1984 and 1988.
Cancer - States, Women's Groups Slow To Address Women's Smoking
Article examines why women's groups spend almost no time fighting lung cancer, even though it kills more women than breast cancer.
http://www.cancerpage.com/cancernews/cancernews2749.htm

Extractions: Stateline.org ( Thursday, May 03, 2001) - New York's Selma Rosen was eleven years old when she started smoking and "became addicted," as she explains it. She smoked for 34 years and even quit for a stretch until she relapsed back into her habit. Now 57, Rosen is a lung cancer survivor, a condition that she says has changed her life dramatically. "I was working full-time and now I no longer am. I have emphysema, anemia and shortness of breath because I had half of my right lung removed," she says. Rosen is not alone. Lung cancer will kill nearly one in four cancer-stricken women this year, a higher rate than deaths from breast cancer, U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher recently reported. Among additional stark findings of importance to the 22 million adult women who smoke in America, researchers say that tobacco companies have stepped up marketing efforts to women, stalling progress in programs that support those who try to stop smoking. Satcher and officials like Tommy Thompson, who heads up the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, beat the drum hard on the report's findings, but anti-tobacco advocates say the
Lung Cancer Screening
LowDose Screening CT Chest for Detection of lung cancer. Why is there a need for lung cancer screening? Who should consider lung cancer screening?
http://www.bocaradiology.com/Procedures/LungCA.html

Extractions: for Detection of Lung Cancer In 1998 there were: By contrast, Routine chest x-ray screening often are unable to detect lung cancers until they are of advanced stage. * Screening CT Chest shows lung carcinoma in the left lower lobe which was obscured by the heart on the routine chest x-ray performed two weeks earlier. A study by Henschke, et al.* found that n on-calcified pulmonary nodules were detected in 23% participants by low dose CT at baseline, compared with 7% by chest radiography. Malignant disease was detected in 2-7% by CT and of the 27 CT-detected cancers, 26 were resectable. It was concluded that low-dose CT can greatly improve the likelihood of detection of small (early) lung cancers, and thus potentially more curable stage. Who should consider lung cancer screening?

Extractions: For text only browsers, click here to see full site index The health effects of passive smoking - A Scientific Information Paper November 1997 National Health and Medical Research Council The health effects of passive smoking In June 1993, the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) established a Working Party to update the NHMRC's 1986 report Effects of passive smoking on health During 1993 and 1994 the Working Party undertook a process of public consultation on two occasions and received submissions from a wide range of persons and bodies. In November 1995, the Working Party published a draft report entitled The health effects of passive smoking . The draft report was endorsed for public consultation by the NHMRC at its 120th Session in November 1995. Approximately 900 copies of the document were circulated in the Australian community and overseas. The NHMRC had intended to make regulatory recommendations on measures which could reduce any illness caused by passive smoking. In this regard section 12 of the National Health and Medical Research Council Act 1992 ('the Act') provides a statutory procedure which the NHMRC must follow if it chooses to make regulatory recommendations or issue guidelines.

The risk estimate was compared with that from linear extrapolation of the risk in smokers using seven studies of biochemical markers of tobacco smoke intake.
