“…1,21 Our data (see Table 3) confirm previous reports, indicating that the most powerful smoking relation is to squamous and small cell cancers compared with a less powerful association with adenocarcinoma. 1,21 Data about bronchioloalveolar carcinoma are sparse, but our data are roughly compatible with those in a recent report. 22 Lung cancer cell type preponderance has shifted toward a greater proportion of adenocarcinoma than squamous cell carcinoma.…”

“…5 This shift may be due partially to cessation of smoking, which results in greater reduction in incidence of squamous cell and small cell carcinoma than of adenocarcinoma. 21 Lessened tar yield and introduction of filtered cigarettes are possible additional factors in the shift in cell types. 6 Because smoking is a less powerful predictor of adenocarcinoma and bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, additional risk factors presumably play a larger role for these types.…”

“…1 indicates, patients who stopped smoking after the first cancer diagnosis lived longer than those who continued to smoke. Khuder et al demonstrated that smoking cessation before the first cancer diagnosis reduced the risk of primary lung tumor of all major histologic types and the most significant reduction was observed in the case of small-cell lung carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma [28]. No unequivocal evidence exists, however, that smoking cessation after lung cancer diagnosis can improve survival rates.…”

“…The risk among smokers as compared with those who have never smoked is increased 8-15 times in men and 2-10 times in women and smoking cessation is known to reduce the risk, especially in heavy smokers (3). Cigarette smoke contains several chemicals which are known carcinogens, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), aromatic amines and N-nitroso compounds.…”
