A new report features some scary stats about lung cancer, which is the leading cause of death among both men and women. Check this out:
- Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women, killing more women each year than breast and all gynecological cancers combined. Every day, nearly 300 women will be diagnosed with lung cancer and about 200 women will die of it.
- Lung cancer incidence in women has increased six-fold over the past 30 years.
- Twenty percent of women diagnosed with lung cancer today have never smoked.
Report conducted by the Mary Horrigan Connors Center For Women’s Health and Gender Biology.
