Deaths due to Lung Cancer

Deaths due to Lung CancerYou come from far away, baby. The slogan, which include tobacco only in the late ’60s Rooms created specifically for women, inviting them to take further steps in the “liberation” that took over the habits of men until now. In our country, the paradox is that the land acquired in the last 30 years, the number of female deaths from lung cancer has doubled. Experts estimate that in Argentina, in 10 years, deaths from lung cancer are closer to the most deadly cancer in women: breast cancer.

As the man reached the peak of the length of tobacco consumption, the death rate from lung cancer among them began to decline in most developed countries, while among women giving birth to see the consequences of recruitment advertising. At the same time, thanks to the spread of early detection techniques, the death rate from breast cancer decreased. When driving a car and up the other variables in the United States and northern Europe, and lung cancer is the leading cause of death in women, ahead of breast cancer.

Why is the first for these countries? Experts believe that this is because on the one hand, women began to smoke before; on the other hand, those countries began to before making a breast examination, early diagnosis allowing more rapid fall of mortality and more (see “Prevention ….)

The real question is whether our country will continue this trend. “If the death rate from breast cancer continues to decline at the same level (we can estimate the level forecast for 2020 amounted to 18.7 deaths per 100,000 women) and if deaths from lung cancer continue to rise (expected for the same period the rate of 10 deaths per 100,000 women), mortality rates approached the two cases will, “he said Clarion Dora Lorie, Head of the Department of Epidemiology at the Institute of Oncology Angel Ruff and member of the National Cancer Institute (INC).”However, the death rate from lung cancer in the breast will not exceed 10 years, but it is expected that breast cancer mortality decline at a faster pace with the spread of action for early detection of lesions less advanced, is, secondary prevention activities.,” A specialist in dialogue by Clarion.

What is the current condition of affairs in Argentina? Daniel Gomez, director of the laboratory of molecular oncology at the University of Quilmes and members of the INC, is the pattern: “In general, the incidence of various cancers has increased, but there is one exception of the lungs in women: a result, 30 years later, a market of death passed Still, cancer is not included as a public health problem for women.”
