“…One Taiwan study (Liaw et al, 2008) that explored whether celltype specificity is a factor in lung cancer associated with air pollution found significant correlations between the levels of traffic-related nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) and the lung cancer incidence rate in females. However, the correlation between air pollution and lung cancer was not significant for males.…”

“…Tobacco, principally for lung SCC but coupled with alcohol use as well as air pollution and other factors, are all linked to increased risk of developing SCC (Bandera, Freudenheim et al 2001;Liaw, Ting et al 2008). As these environmental factors have the potential to affect large regions of tissue it has been proposed that precancerous fields can arise leading to areas at high risk of malignancy.…”

The four major histological types of lung cancer are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SQ), large cell carcinoma and small cell carcinoma. Over the past few decades, the incidence of lung adenocarcinoma has increased gradually in most countries as the most frequently occurring histological type, displacing SQ. Adenocarcinoma is the predominant type of lung cancer among lifelong non-smokers and among females. Especially in East Asian countries, the cause(s) of the increase in adenocarcinomas are not clear. Several genetic mutations specific to lung adenocarcinomas have been found, representing attractive targets for molecular therapy. Recently, the pathological classification of lung adenocarcinoma was revised by integrating the newer clinical and biological knowledge concerning this prevailing type. Additional epidemiological, pathological and genetic studies are required to better understand this type of lung cancer.
