Why is the Incidence of Lung Cancer in Male Decreasing and Increasing in Females?
Lung cancer has been a major problem between males and females. However, the incidence of this disease in males has been reducing, it has rapidly been mounting in females. Current research notes that cancer rates in women will increase six times more quickly than in men over the subsequent two decades. Notably, lung cancer is the leading health problematic for females, not only outstanding to its extraordinary prevalence speed but also more deaths and distressing (Torre et al., 2015). This paper will discuss the main reasons why the incidence of lung cancer is increasing in females while it is decreasing in males.
One of the utmost significant jeopardy influences for the growth of the disease in both men and women is cigarette smoking. According to Lortet-Tieulent et al. (2014), the frequency of tobacco amid females has increased meaningfully, which is a crucial alarm as statistics propose that women are at higher risk to develop lung cancer than men. Secondly, it is the gender variances which comprises of hormonal differences, environmental disclosures, little irregularities, and viral contagions. Women get excessively represented among the non-smokers with lung cancer. Notably, this inconsistency is alleged to show that lung cancer in nonsmokers especially women is dissimilar with concern to pathophysiology and risk. While males are more probable to develop squamous lung cancer, most women develop adenocarcinoma cancer which seems to be rising internationally especially among non-smokers and women (Stabile, 2016).

In conclusion, the global widespread of lung cancer in females remain to be a concern to specialists and scientists. Essentially, the chief distress is the cumulative amount of lung cancer mortality rate among nonsmokers. However, there is hope that a deep understanding of the harmful effects and causes of lung cancer will lead to the creation of operative and new approaches for the treatment and prevention of this demoralizing illness.
