Typically when we think about cancer causing death in women we think about breast ovarian uterine cancer

however we know that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death amongst

women it's expected that almost twice as many women will die of lung cancer compared to

breast cancer given that adenocarcinoma is typically found in women in the outer areas of the

 lungs symptoms may be atypical and present much later they include shortness of breath

increasing fatigue back and shoulder pain even pain with deep breathing what we know is that

smoking remains the leading cause of lung cancer in both men and women and up to 90

percent of lung cancers are attributed to smoking however we do also know that 20% of

women with lung cancer are lifelong non-smokers other risk factors for developing lung

cancer include secondhand smoke radon in the home and occupational exposures lung cancer

 remains the leading cause of cancer death amongst men and women with over 200,000 cases diagnosed annually an estimated 150,000 Americans and approximately 3,800 Indiana

resident dicen disease well one of the problems with early detection of lung cancer is that the

symptoms present so much later what we have with colon cancer colonoscopies breast cancers

 and mammograms is that they detect cancer earlier but the great news about lung cancer CT

screening is that we can detect cancer sooner especially in progress there's a few different

factors that we consider in treating lung cancer number one is the stage also the type of lung

cancer and now we are able to get into the molecular profile and genetics of lung cancer what we know in women specifically is up to 15% carry a mutation that allows for more targeted

therapy if you are a lifelong smoker I would strongly advise you to talk to your doctor about

early detection treatment for lung cancer with either chemotherapy radiation surgery really

depends on the stage that you're diagnosed that's why it's so important for early detection to take place so that cure is still an option do.
