      Citation Excerpt :

      In the late 1950s, SqCC was the dominant lung cancer type in US men, with the prevalence of AdC relatively minor by comparison (Thun et al., 1997). Over the following decades, data in the SEER tumour registries (which started in 1973), indicated that the prevalence of AdC relative to SqCC rose sharply so that, by the late 1980s, the prevalence of AdC had exceeded that of SqCC thus becoming the dominant lung cancer type in men (Thun and Heath, Jr., 1997). In women, AdC has been the dominant form of lung cancer throughout the period of data collection in the SEER registries (US Surgeon General, 2014).

    • Efficacy of CT screening for lung cancer in never-smokers: Analysis of Japanese cases detected using a low-dose CT screen

      2011, Lung Cancer
      Citation Excerpt :

      The characteristics of LC seem to differ between countries, with some Japanese studies reporting a mortality rate for never-smokers diagnosed with LC as being 1/3 to 1/4 of that for smokers [17–19]. In the United States however, the reported mortality rate for never-smokers with LC is 1/15 to 1/20 of that for smokers [20–22]. Sone and co-workers [23] have reported the necessity of CT screening for never-smokers because of the far higher LC death rate for these individuals in Japan.
