Major Chronic Diseases Surveillance On-Line Centre for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Cancer Lung 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.

What are the chemical and radiologic characteristics of radon? Rn), formed in the U decay chain, is the most important isotope because of its relatively long half-life of 3.82 days. The short half-life beta- and gamma-emitting decay products of Rn achieve equilibrium with the parent isotope within several hours. 2. Draw the 226Ra decay chain. Include the half-life and major emission type of each decay product. 3. What are Rn progeny? Why are they important? Radon-222 progeny is another name for the Rn decay products or Rn daughters. Radon-222 progeny rather than Rn gas deliver the actual radiation dose to lung tissues. The solid airborne Rn progeny, particularly

LUNG CANCER The Lungs The lungs are a pair of cone-shaped organs that are situated inside the chest. The lungs bring oxygen into the body and take out carbon dioxide, which is a waste product of the cells of the body. Tubes called bronchi make up the inside of the lungs. Your lungs have an extensive network of blood and lymph vessels. Cancer cells may grow into these vessels and be carried by the blood or lymph and be deposited elsewhere in the body. 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. The non-small cell type of lung cancer is a common disease and is usually associated with people who used to smoke

GH Media Kit Women and Lung Cancer BY ELLIE MCGRATH Lung cancer is catching up with more and more women. The disease, which is fatal for 86 percent of its victims within advertisement 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.

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

CANCERS Team Leader: Dr. Gordon Avery Date of Completion: 1. LUNG CANCER Lung Cancer is the most common cancer experienced by males in the United Kingdom. In the 5 year period 1986-1990 there were an average of 1,606 new registrations per annum for lung cancer in men in Wales. The annual average registration rate for 1984-1988 was 121.2 per 100,000, this being the highest registration rate for any of the regions in England and Wales. Registrations have been rising for many years but there are signs that a peak has now been reached. The average annual number of deaths from lung cancer in males in Wales during the 5 year period 1992-1996 was 1284 and the annual average age standardised death rate for the same period was 74.2 per 100,000. 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. Lung cancer in women is on the increase. It is the second most common cancer (after breast) experienced by women. In the 5 year period 1986-1990 there was an average of 681 new registrations per annum for lung cancer in women in Wales.

States, Women's Groups Slow To Address Women's Smoking By Mary Guiden, Staff Writer 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

Home News About Us BRCH ... Contact Us Low-Dose Screening CT Chest for Detection of Lung Cancer Why is there a need for lung cancer screening? In 1998 there were: 160,000 deaths due to lung cancer in the United States 172,000 new cases of lung cancer 12% cure rate for lung cancer By contrast, the 5 year survival rate for lung cancer detected early (Stage IA) was 85-100% 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. What studies have been done to evaluate this test? 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?

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 Foreword 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.

Design: Analysis of 37 published epidemiological studies of the risk of lung cancer (4626 cases) in non-smokers who did and did not live with a smoker. 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. Main outcome measure: Relative risk of lung cancer in lifelong non-smokers according to whether the spouse currently smoked or had never smoked.
