چکیده

Risk Factor Information for Selected Cancer Types
Lung cancer generally arises in the epithelial tissue of the lung. Several different histologic or cell types of lung cancer have been observed. The various types of lung cancer occur in different regions of the lung and each type is associated with slightly different risk factors (Blot and Fraumeni 1996). The most common type of lung cancer in the United States today is adenocarcinoma which ac...
متن کاملRisk Factor Information for Selected Cancer Types
The American Cancer Society estimates that approximately 32,180 people in the U.S. (16,100 men and 16,080 women) will develop pancreatic cancer in 2005. This disease accounts for approximately 2% of all new cases of cancer in both men and women, but between 5% and 6% of all cancer deaths (ACS, 2005). This discrepancy has been attributed to detection of pancreatic cancer at an advanced stage and...
