Female Non Smoker Got Cancer

The number of women who Taxable Non Smoker Lung Cancer The More

Initially a lot of lung cancer associated with smoking men. Smoking is believed to be one of the main factors trigger lung cancer occurrence. But apparently the number of cases of lung cancer among non-smokers more likely to rise than in smokers, especially women.

An agency which deals with health problems of the lungs, the European Respiratory Society (ERS) revealed an increase in cases of lung cancer among non-smokers, especially women. Unfortunately, little is known to researchers about the risk factors associated with lung cancer among non-smokers.

Researchers at ERS originally intended to examine the effects of changes in the treatment of lung cancer patients. A total of 7610 people with lung cancer were analyzed in the study. Among these, 6083 cases were known to have a large cancer cells.

"11.9% of lung cancer cases in the study were non-smokers. This was an increase of 7.9% from 10 years ago. Many as 24.4% of lung cancer patients in the study were women, an increase of 16% compared 10 years ago, "said the researcher, Dr. Locher Chrystele as reported Counsel and Heal.

The study also found that in women smokers or former smokers, lung cancer rates changed little over the past 10 years, from 64% in 2000 to 66% in 2010. This figure also decreased in male smokers. However, in men who had never smoked experienced a slight increase.

Lung cancer mostly diagnosed when it has deteriorated recently. As many as 58% of lung cancer patients are diagnosed when the disease has entered stage 4, the most severe stage when the cancer has spread to both lungs or other body parts.

"We have seen changes in lung cancer for the past 10 years. Not only found no increase in the number of women and non-smokers with the disease, but there is also an increase in the number of new cases diagnosed in stage 4," Locher said.

Researchers intend further to see whether the pattern of spread of lung cancer worldwide. More recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that the exhaust fumes from diesel engines can also be a cause of lung cancer.
