Lung cancer is not common in young people, but it does occur. It is easily missed in the early stages, so you need to tell your healthcare provider if you have anysigns or symptoms of lung cancer, or if you have a family history of the disease. This is true whether you are a smok...
Median age at diagnosis of lung cancer is 70years. Its presentation in patients 40 or younger is uncommon and it has been proposed that maybe it is a different disease due to its clinical characteristics and genetic makeup. There are a limited number of studies in this population and they ...
We examine lung cancer incidence rates in young women vs. young men in 40 countries across five continents. Lung and bronchial cancer cases by 5-year age group (ages 30-64) and 5-year calendar period (1993-2012) were extracted from Cancer Incidence in Five Continents. Female-to-male ...
NSCLC in young patients is rare and the clinical characteristics of the disease are poorly understood. A definition for young age describing this unique population has not been established. Geoffrey R. Oxnard, M.D., of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, and coauthors examined the relation...
Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer death in China and Australia, the countries with different socioenvironmental contexts in the Western Pacific Region. Comparing the age-period-cohort effect on LC mortality (LCM) between the two countries c
We explored the trend in lung cancer incidence rates among a young Swiss population (30–54 years old) by sex from 1990 to 2014 to investigate the birth cohort effect on lung cancer. We evaluated smoking rates from 1992 to 2012 to explain sex differences in lung cancer incidence rates.The ...
Ms. Potter noted that during the last decade, patients over age 50 experienced a significant shift to earlier stages of disease identified, likely due to the onset of lung cancer screening in the U.S. In contrast, there have been minimal improvements in the early diagnosis of young patients ...
We investigated the outcomes and prognostic factors of young patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods From January 2000 to December 2009, we enrolled patients aged ???45???years and diagnosed with stage IIIB or IV NSCLC. Their clinical data, including age, gender, ...
For the young age group, cigarette smoking had the greatest association with lung cancer (OR = 3.3). For never smokers, the dividing factors of recursive partitioning were GSTT1 (OR = 1.7), GPX1 (OR = 0.6) and GSTM1 (OR = 4.3). For the old age group, smoking had the greatest ...
Although the median age at diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is 70 years, a subset of patients with NSCLC present at a younger age (<40 years). Little is known about the time-trends in incidence of NSCLC in the young, their characteristics and outcomes.The surveillance...
