BackgroundThe optimal treatment for non鈥搒mall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is surgical resection; however, most patients are ineligible because of advanced disease. Although resection rates of 25% have been reported nationally, rates in the Veterans Affairs (VA) system appear lower, perhaps because ...

Standardized death rates for lung cancer are substantially higher in England and Wales than in the U.S.A. (in 1955 the rates for men were 69.3 and 33.0 per 100, 000 and for women they were 10.6 and 6.7 per 100, 000). In both countries the rates for men have increased over the past...
A new analysis confirms that US lung cancer rates are declining overall, but it also uncovers previously unrecognized trends related to cancer subtype, sex, race/ethnicity, and age. Published early online in Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the America
programs, a US–international team of investigators has concluded that in the United States, public health efforts, beginning in the 1950s and highlighted by the US Surgeon General’s Report on Smoking and Health in 1964, prevented nearly 800,000 deaths from lung cancer between...
