2018, Lung CancerTime trends in never smokers in the relative frequency of the different histological types of lung cancer, in particular adenocarcinoma
2016, Regulatory Toxicology and PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :In the late 1950s, SqCC was the dominant lung cancer type in US men, with the prevalence of AdC relatively minor by comparison (Thun et al., 1997). Over the following decades, data in the SEER tumour registries (which started in 1973), indicated that the prevalence of AdC relative to SqCC rose sharply so that, by the late 1980s, the prevalence of AdC had exceeded that of SqCC thus becoming the dominant lung cancer type in men (Thun and Heath, Jr., 1997). In women, AdC has been the dominant form of lung cancer throughout the period of data collection in the SEER registries (US Surgeon General, 2014).
CT screening for lung cancer: Importance of emphysema for never smokers and smokers
2015, Lung CancerCitation Excerpt :However, never smokers in our study had the same prevalence of lung cancer as light current and former smokers (<30 pack-years) (Table 3). For smokers, the adverse effect of smoking on respiratory function has been extensively documented as cigarette smoke was considered to be the single most important risk factor for COPD [15–18]. Table 3 clearly illustrates the increase in prevalence of lung cancer and emphysema by increased cumulative smoking.
Efficacy of CT screening for lung cancer in never-smokers: Analysis of Japanese cases detected using a low-dose CT screen
2011, Lung CancerCitation Excerpt :The characteristics of LC seem to differ between countries, with some Japanese studies reporting a mortality rate for never-smokers diagnosed with LC as being 1/3 to 1/4 of that for smokers [17–19]. In the United States however, the reported mortality rate for never-smokers with LC is 1/15 to 1/20 of that for smokers [20–22]. Sone and co-workers [23] have reported the necessity of CT screening for never-smokers because of the far higher LC death rate for these individuals in Japan.
