“…15 In the present study, we observed that the adjusted LC mortality rate decreased in Mexico and particularly in men, which is consistent with previous reports. 18 However, the decrease in the mortality rate was not uniform throughout the country. Therefore, resident populations of municipalities with high and very high marginalization showed a tendency with less decrease or even no decrease in both men and women.…”

“…[6][7][8] Furthermore, studies in different populations (e.g., Asiatic and Anglo-Saxon) document how the diagnosis and treatment may be different by socioeconomic and educational level. [15][16][17][18] For instance, a study showed that LC patients with lower SES compared to those with higher SES had a lower probability of undergoing surgery or chemotherapy. 15 Likewise, as the level of poverty of the community increased, the median survival decreased, concluding that extreme community poverty (> 15%) behaves as a factor of poor prognosis even after adjusting the for comorbidities, clinical characteristics or even the treatment received.…”

“…5 In spite of the relative importance of LC in terms of incidence, previous literature has shown that the mortality rate from LC has decreased in the lasts two decades, particularly among men. [6][7][8][9] Although a reduction in mortality has been documented previously, it is important to note other health metrics related to the burden imposed by LC and to highlight geographic patterns. In particular, the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD-2016) offers estimates of the burden of LC based on its impact on premature mortality and time lived with disability summarized in the number of Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs).…”

“…1 En México, esta neoplasia ocupa el primer lugar como causa de muerte por tumores malignos, 2,3 cuyo comportamiento mostraba tendencia ascendente hasta el año 1989, a partir del cual es ligeramente descendente tanto en hombres como en mujeres. [4][5][6] Es indiscutible que el humo del tabaco es la principal causa de estos tumores malignos de las vías respiratorias bajas. Al humo de tabaco se suma la exposición al humo de leña, otros contaminantes ambientales (asbesto, radón, fertilizantes), condiciones genéticas y estilos de vida poco saludables, 7 y condiciones laborales y socioeconómicas que son también importantes en la aparición de tumores de pulmón.…”
