Essay on A Smokers Death
The etiological relationship between cigarette smoking and the development of primary lung cancer is firmly established. It is estimated for the United States that 85 to 90% of the lung cancer cases among men and around 70% or more in women are presently attributable to cigarette smoking. Lung cancer also occurs in non-smokers. Most of the non-smoker lung cancer patients are women and adenocarcinoma is more common in women. The percentage of non-smokers among male patients having lung cancer has ranged from 0.5% to as high as 15.3%. The percentage of non-smokers among female patients having lung cancer was reported as 13% and 41% in two series. The ratio of the female patients having primary lung cancer was reported as higher than 20% in several studies. In a previous study, while one-third of the female cases who smoked had adenocarcinoma, two-thirds of the non-smoker female cases had adenocarcinoma. There were only 7 non smoker cases among 117 women with squamous cell, small cell, or large cell carcinoma. In our study the ratio of nonsmoker lung cancer cases was 7.9% in male patients and 84.1% in female patients. The number of the female smoker lung cancer cases was too low in our series. Squamous cell carcinoma was the predominant type in the smokers, whereas adenocarcinoma was more common in the non-smokers, especially in women. Smoking is highly prevalent in our country. There are more male smokers than female smokers. While 5% of the male patients with lung cancer were non-smoker, 77% of the female patients were non-smoker. Adenocarcinoma was most frequently found in the non-smokers. The results of two studies suggested that the ratio of housewives among the non-smoker lung cancer cases was high. The other study reported that forty-four percent of the female patients with lung cancer were housewives and 14.2% were farmer housewives.
