The lungs are a pair of cone-shaped organs situated inside the chest, they bring oxygen into the body and take out waste carbon dioxide. There is a strong link between smoking and lung cancer. There are two main categories of lung cancer; Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) , and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). World-wide over 1 million people are diagnosed with lung cancer each year.

About Lung Cancer Treatment Clinical Trials Support ... Contact Us Tobacco Issues: Background information Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in every state. As a society, we can no longer ignore the 171,000 Americans who will be diagnosed with lung cancer every year and the 46 million former smokers at risk for the disease. A substantial amount of the money coming to the states from the tobacco settlement should be used not only for smoking prevention and cessation programs but also to meet the very real needs of people living with or at risk for lung cancer. If states focus only on prevention and cessation to alleviate smoking-related illness, they will fail to save thousands of lives and to reduce the enormous suffering caused by lung cancer. Programs for early detection, education about lung cancer and treatment options, and access to psycho social support must also receive funding. In the United States, most people newly diagnosed with lung cancer are former smokers and people who never smoked. Former smokers carry a lifelong increased risk for lung cancer. For these people, early diagnosis is critical for survival. However, because there is no accepted lung cancer screening policy, 85% of people are diagnosed in late-stage disease. In addition, a prevailing attitude of fear and blame surrounds lung cancer and discourages people at risk from seeking medical attention. Detecting lung cancer in its earliest stages allows more treatment options, offers the best chance for cure, and is cost-effective, compared with treating late-stage disease. Current research on several screening methods holds great promise for early detection. Once diagnosed, people deserve immediate referral to oncology professionals and informational materials to guide their healthcare decisions, regardless of stage of disease or age. They should have access to personal support services and programs to enhance their quality of life. The Alliance for Lung Cancer calls for a broad educational campaign about lung cancer in every state, with the goal of saving lives now and for decades to come. Tobacco settlement funds should support these efforts.

Knowing about risk can help clinicians and patients make decisions about health care, such as whether to get screened for lung cancer. Our research shows that among long-term smokers over the age of 50, risks of developing lung cancer can vary. However, the lung cancer risk of a person who has never smoked is typically much lower than the lowest percentages calculated by this tool. Quitting smoking not only reduces risk of lung cancer, but reduces risk of many other smoking-related health problems. Who Can Use This Tool?

The BMA has long supported legislation to ban smoking in public places as a necessary step in combating the dangers of second-hand smoke to non-smokers. Some progress has been made. Yet for the majority of the population, public places are the main source of exposure to second-hand smoke. Three million people are still exposed to tobacco smoke in the course of their work. The UK is rapidly falling behind other countries in its provisions to protect non-smokers. The report from the BMA Board of Science and Education and Tobacco Control Resource Centre summarises the scientific and medical knowledge on the nature and scale of the health effects of passive smoking: In adults, second-hand smoke increases the risk of lung cancer by some 20-30 per cent and the risk of coronary heart disease by 25-35 per cent. In children, exposure to second-hand smoke increases the risk of lower respiratory tract illnesses, asthma, middle-ear infection and sudden infant death syndrome.

76. Cancer Of The Lungs lung cancer is now one of the best known and most feared of all diseases. Every year the numbers of Canadians diagnosed with lung cancer increase. http://www.lung.ca/diseases/cancer_lungs.html

Lung cancer is now one of the best known and most feared of all diseases. There are good reasons for this reaction. Every year the numbers of Canadians diagnosed with lung cancer increase. However, this situation can change in the coming years primarily through decreasing the number of cigarette smokers. Although other substances such as asbestos and coal tar products can cause lung cancer, at least 85% of the disease is related to smoking. The other inhaled cancer-producing substances increase the risk for the smoker. Not only does smoking contribute to lung cancer but also to other cancers (mouth, larynx, esophagus, bladder, kidney and pancreas), to cardiovascular disease, an even greater killer of Canadians, and to other chronic lung diseases such as emphysema. Lung cancer is largely preventable, and the best protection is never smoking. For those who do smoke, quitting is the best course of action. The risk of lung cancer relates to the duration of smoking. The sooner a smoker stops smoking, the sooner the risk will cease to increase. Passive absorption of smoke (second-hand smoke) also increases the risk of lung cancer, even in non-smokers. Today lung cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer in men and women. Therefore, it is vital that both public and professional efforts be directed at effectively controlling this "epidemic"

77. Chapter 1 Lung Cancer - Cancer Bulletin The average annual number of deaths from lung cancer in males in Wales during The 5 year survival rate for lung cancer in men in Wales was less than 10% http://hebw.uwcm.ac.uk/cancers/chapter1.html

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.
