this article discusses the research at one cancer center with an overall 30% LC 5 year survival rate as opposed to the 15% nationally.

Susan,

I found this article to be very interesting. In fact, one of the points observed was the fact that the non vs former smoking aspect seems to be again reiterated.

Not to make an issue of this point, but perhaps, with those receiving chemotherapy regimens, radiation therapy, and alternative therapies, it may be poignant that the absence of smoking may play a part?

I don't know, but it may be worth more study.

Thanks for the article, Susan. I do appreciate reading on this subject.

To me, the longer survival, including quality of life, is a big deal.
