“…While in many western countries LC incidence is decreasing for men, an increase over the recent decades is evident for women (1,36), so the numbers of cases among women can be expected to rise in the next few years, with specific health needs. Identifying predictive prognostic factors can help tailor sexspecific disease management (37)(38)(39)(40).…”

ObjectivesTo investigate differences in lung cancer (LC) management and survival using data from European population cancer registries.MethodsWe analysed 4,602 lung cancer cases diagnosed in 2010–2013, followed-up to 2019 in five countries. Multivariable logistic regression was used to calculate the Odds Ratio (OR) of surgery for stages I–II LC or chemo- or radiotherapy for stages III–IV LC. Relative survival (RS) was estimated by the actuarial method; Relative Excess Risk of death (RER), with 95% CI, was calculated by generalized linear models.ResultsDiagnostic work-up was extensive for 65.9% patients (range 57%, Estonia, Portugal - 85% (Belgium). Sixty-six percent of stages I–II patients underwent surgery; compared to non-operated, their adjusted OR decreased with age and was associated with main bronchus cancer (OR vs. lobes 0.25, CI, 0.08–0.82), stage II (OR vs. stage I: 0.42, CI, 0.29–0.60), comorbidity (OR vs. absent: 0.55, CI, 0.33–0.93), country (ORs: Estonia 1.82, CI, 1.28–2.60; Belgium 0.62, CI, 0.42–0.91; Portugal 0.69, CI, 0.52–0.93).Almost half of stages III–IV patients received chemo- or radiotherapy only; the adjusted OR vs. non receiving decreased with age and was associated with unspecified cancer topography or morphology. The adjusted five-year RER increased with age and stage and was lower for women (0.78, CI, 0.72–0.86), above the reference for main bronchus cancer (1.37, CI, 1.21–1.54) and unspecified morphology (1.17, CI, 1.05–1.30). Surgery carried the lowest mortality (RS 56.9; RER 0.13, CI, 0.11–0.15) with RER above the mean in Estonia (1.20, CI, 1.10–1.30), below it in Portugal (0.88, CI, 0.82–0.93) and Switzerland (0.91, CI, 0.84–0.99). Comorbidity (1.21, CI, 1.09–1.35) and not smoking (0.68, CI, 0.57–0.81) were associated with RER.ConclusionsThe survival benefit of early diagnosis, allowing curative surgery, was evident at the population level. Screening for subjects at risk and adhesion to standard care should be incremented across the EU by funding better equipment and training health personnel.

The Synergistic Threat of Pollution and Climate Change

While it might be tempting to simplify our interactions with weather and longer-term climatic conditions as a simple byproduct of varying atmospheric conditions, this would be a mistake. As will be outlined in this chapter, air pollution (a nasty consequence of the mainly human activities and technology driving climate change!) by itself, is likely cardio-toxic. Moreover, concentrations of outdoor air pollution and its impact on the cardiovascular system varies according to the prevailing climatic conditions, topography and human structures/activity. Other forms of pollution, including indoor air pollution, metal pollutants, microplastics and noise pollution are also important factors in eroding the capacity of an individual’s cardiovascular (and broader cardiopulmonary) system to maintain homeostasis when confronted with provocative climatic conditions. It is for this reason that ‘pollution’ has been elevated to the status of being a “non-traditional, major risk factor” for cardiovascular disease. But how much does climate and climate change influence it’s impact on our heart health? To answer this question, in this chapter the synergistic threat of pollution as both a consequence and cause of climate change will be explored.
