Abstract

The article focuses on a study related to reproductive and hormonal factors and the risk of nonsmall cell lung cancer. The study reveals that estrogen may play a direct role in lung tumorigenesis. According to the study, women have more susceptibilities than men to lung cancer for the same number of cigarette smoking. Several charts related to the study are also presented.
