Combustion of fossil fuels, industrial emissions, biomass and waste combustion results in an increase in the amount of harmful substances such as sulfur dioxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, ozone, particulate matter or aromatic hydrocarbons in the environment. The air full of pollutants that we all breathe affects our respiratory and cardiovascular systems and is also a factor leading to the development of cancer. The polluted air we breathe in every day drives the influx macrophages that release inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-1β, accelerating the expansion of cells with EGFR mutations. Overexpression mutated EGFR gene is characteristic of non-small cell lung cancer. Adenocarcinoma is one of the most common lung cancers. It accounts for 40% of all types of lung cancer. In the European Union, Bulgaria and Poland are among the most polluted countries, while Sofia, Nicosia and Warsaw are the three most polluted capitals. Solid particles suspended in the air have been recognized by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a factor group I carcinogen. The concentration of PM10 measured at regional background stations, i.e. outside the direct impact of traffic pollution and outside city centers, in Poland is almost the highest in Europe and amounts to over 60 µg/m3 with the standard up to 20 µg/m3. An adult person inhales 10-12 m3 of air per day, and with it inhales the pollutants contained in it into the body. The aim of our work was to examine the correlation between air pollution and lung cancer and to conclude that anyone may be at risk.

“…Carcinogens which contribute to the development of lung cancer include physical, chemical and genetic factors as well as low physical activity, overweight and obesity [6,7]. However, exposure to cancerogenic agents, found in nicotine smoke is the greatest risk factor, responsible for 30% of all cancer deaths [8,9]. Scientific research reveals that 85-90% of all histological types of lung cancer are related to active and passive nicotine smoking.…”

Changes in mortality and years of life lost due to lung cancer in Poland, 2000–2016

Background The aim of the study was to evaluate trends of mortality and the number of years of life lost due to lung cancer in Poland, in the period 2000–2016. Methods The study material was 375,151 death certificates of all inhabitants of Poland who died in the period 2000–2016 due to lung cancer. In order to calculate the number of years of life lost, the authors used indices: SEYLLp (Standard Expected Years of Life Lost per living person), SEYLLd (per deaths), APC (Annual Percentage Change) and AAPC (Average Annual Percentage Change). Results The standardized death rate (SDR) due to lung cancer decreased in the analyzed period from 74.5 to 68.3 per 100,000 population (AAPC = −0.6%). The most rapid decrease was noted in the years 2008–2011 (APC = –2.2%). With regards to males, SDR decreased from 148.8 to 114.5 (AAPC = –1.7%), whereas in females, it increased from 25.7 to 37.6 (AAPC = 2.3%). The SEYLLp index, calculated per 100,000 inhabitants, increased from 1189.9 in the year 2000 to 1250.5 in the year 2016. The trend and pace of changes fluctuated. In 2000–2008, the SEYLLp index was increasing at a pace of 0.7%. This growth was followed by a decrease at a pace of −1.2%, noted in 2008–2011. After the year 2011, the indices started to grow at an annual pace of 0.4%. AAPC in the whole study period was 0.3%. Increased mortality in females was responsible for the increase in the number of lost years of life. SEYLLp values in this sex group increased from 464.8 in the year 2000 to 774.7 in the year 2016 (APC = 3.3%).With regards to males, SEYLLp values, calculated for 100,000 male population, decreased in the analyzed period from 1961.1 to 1758.3. Conclusions Lung cancer still poses a serious epidemiological problem in Poland and the number of years of life lost due to this cause reflects social and economic implications of premature lung cancer-related mortality. There is a great need to educate, particularly women, and show effective ways of quitting smoking.

Introduction. Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant neoplasms in humans, while type 2 diabetes is a common civilization disease of the 21st century. Aim. The aim of the study was to present the role of a nurse in caring for a patient with advanced lung cancer and coexisting type 2 diabetes. Material and methods. The study used the case study method and literature analysis, as well as the following research techniques: interview, observation, document analysis, measurement, physical examination. Also, 15 scales were used to assess the patient’s health. Results. Nursing care for a patient with lung cancer and diabetes was focused mainly on preventing complications and disease progression, and was primarily focused on providing professional help, mental support, activities aimed at maintaining physical activity and independence in everyday activities, and, above all, on shaping the skills of self-control and self-care. Conclusions. Nursing care for a patient with lung cancer and co-occurring diabetes, due to the chronic aspect of both diseases, focuses mainly on taking measures to prevent complications as well as educating and motivating pro-health behaviour.
