RandyW Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Said it before and Will say it again, Lung CAncer is the Breast Cancer of the new millenium. There is not enough awareness, research, education, and of course the cause of all this is the lack of MONEY for all tehse things. Susan G Komen has dedicated itself again with renewed energy to KILL Breast cancer ASAP. Not Lung Cancer though. This article has surfaced in several publications and newspapers lately. 1 in 5 women with Lung Cancer have never smoked according to an article in/on MSNBC. If you are curious about some older numbers, 2005, Click on this Link http://caonline.amcancersoc.org/cgi/con ... /1/10/TBL2 These are 2005 Statistics for Cancer Deaths for Lung Cancer Lung & bronchus 172,570 93,010 79,560 163,510 90,490 73,020 These are numbers for statistical basis only not actual numbers. 2006 numbers may be out soon who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
