Lung               cancer               is               by               far               the               deadliest               cancer.

More               Americans               die               each               year               of               lung               cancer,               than               breast,               prostate,               colon               and               pancreatic               cancer               combined.

Yet               even               though               lung               cancer               is               the               deadliest               cancer,               it               gets               the               least               funding               of               all               other               cancers.

Although               more               men               (86,000               projected               in               2010)               die               from               lung               cancer.

Women               are               catching               up               (71,000)               according               to               the               American               Cancer               Society.

By               comparison               40,000               women               die               each               year               from               breast               cancer.

The               question               is               why               lung               cancer               rates               are               rising               in               women               and               what               can               be               done               about               it.

Lung               cancer               rates               in               men               have               been               declining.
               Unlike               breast               cancer               there               is               a               stigma               involved               in               lung               cancer               especially               for               women.

Since               most               cancer               victims               smoked               at               one               time               there               is               not               much               sympathy               since               "it               was               their               own               fault."               Most               funds               go               for               treating               the               disease.
               However               there               has               been               some               research               lately               on               whether               women               are               more               susceptible               to               lung               cancer               than               men.

The               consensus               is               that               lung               cancer               affects               women               differently.
               Women               seem               to               get               adenocarcinoma               cells               in               their               lungs               while               men               get               squamous               cells               in               theirs.

Also               women               tend               to               respond               differently               to               cancer               drug               therapy               and               live               longer               than               men               with               the               disease.

Adenocarcinoma               used               to               be               a               rare               type               of               cancer               but               it               has               become               more               common.
               The               hormone               estrogen               seems               to               be               the               factor               in               women's               lung               cancer.

Estrogen               may               also               affect               the               body's               response               to               smoke               toxins               and               cause               more               damage               to               T               cells..

This               may               answer               the               question               why               one               out               of               five               women               who               has               never               smoked               gets               lung               cancer               (like               Superman               Christopher               Reeve's               wife               Dana)               as               compared               with               one               out               of               twelve               men.
               Many               women               baby               boomers               were               routinely               given               estrogen               replacement               therapy               at               the               onset               of               menopause               and               many               took               in               additional               estrogen               in               birth               control               pills               for               several               years.

They               may               be               paying               the               price               now               with               lung               cancer               especially               if               they               are               or               were               smokers.
               Women               have               a               difficult               time               quitting               smoking               since               they               believe               quitting               will               make               them               gain               weight.

They               get               Pap               Smears               and               mammograms.

They               exercise               and               watch               their               diet;               but               they               underestimate               their               risk               of               lung               cancer.
               Women               need               to               be               aware               of               the               symptoms               of               lung               cancer.

If               there               is               wheezing,               coughing,               pain               in               the               chest,               seek               medical               treatment,               especially               if               there               is               a               history               of               smoking.
               Most               importantly               quit               smoking...If               you               don't               smoke,               don't               start.
               Lung               cancer               in               women               now               has               its               own               awareness               symbol               like               the               red               dress               for               heart               disease               and               the               pink               ribbon               for               breast               cancer.

It               is               a               pretty               blue               dragonfly               which               might               catch               on.
