Lung Cancer In Women At What Age Do Most Women Die From Lung Cancer.?
3 comments:
I have hundreds of patients, men and women die from lung cancer in 20 years I spent as a doctor specializing) in adult cancer medicine (medical oncology. Most women and men who had died of lung cancer between 60 and 70 There were fifty years ago and others in over 80 years. Only a few had less than 50 years, but it is produced. It is simply less common than death at older ages.
Data from the American Cancer Society for women shows a lifetime risk of 1 in 16 chance of developing lung cancer for all women. But only 20% of women still smoke in the United States and the vast majority (more than 85-90%) of patients with lung cancer are smokers. So the chances of a woman smoking lung cancer at some point is greater than 1 of 16
Not all smokers with lung cancer. But the risk of lung cancer among smokers is higher. The height and the number of years of smoking, are also important factors.
Here are some useful information from the National Cancer Institute:
Smoking and cancer of the National Cancer Institute
*Smoking causes 87 percent of deaths from lung cancer and is responsible for most cancers of the larynx, oral cavity and pharynx, esophagus and bladder responsible.
* Smoke, snuff is for an estimated 3,000 deaths from lung cancer among non-smoking responsible Americans each year.
* Snuff smoke contains thousands of chemicals that can cause including more than 60 known substances that are carcinogenic.
* The risk of developing certain cancers, are associated with smoking, as well as noncancerous diseases, increases with the duration of exposure to cigarette smoke.
Pulmonary Disease * Quit Smoking is a major and immediate health benefits, including reduced risk of lung cancer and other cancers, heart attack, stroke, and chronic.
My dad stopped smoking and lung cancer developed in 40 of 82 (and beat a tough fight - he is later) still alive and in very good health 2 years.
Stop now and you can live longer. People are living longer and with a healthy lifestyle can be.
In fact, parents who smoked all died much younger - heart disease.
I think it is cut one and dried answer to your question. My father, companion of 10 years, the loss of a lung survived in 1975-41. But until last year, lived and died at 74 years with metastatic lung cancer.
How is it that you are of them, you must live / just like your family? Did you drive the same car? Does the same doctor? Do you smoke? Oh yes, I accept you. Hmmm. I wonder what they do to live your chances would be increased to 68? Hmmmm ....
