At the end of the posting the author said he did not know the stats about how prevalent lung cancer is. At the same time I was reading his posting I heard on the radio that the National Cancer Insitute just announced that for females lung cancer is the most common form of cancer. For a long time among females breast cancer was more prevalent than lung cancer, but now because of the increase in the number of female smokers lung cancer is more prevalent. For males lung cancer was always the most common form of cancer. -- ---- David Whiteman, University of California, San Diego
