Women’s lung cancer forums
According to research, men are more prone to developing lung cancer than women. Studies done by the American Cancer Society show that men have a 1 in 15 chance of having lung cancer, while women have a 1 in 17 chance of developing lung cancer. As a result, more men than women are diagnosed with the condition every year.
In addition, women are more prone than men to other types of lung cancer [1], such as adenocarcinoma. The Women’s Lung Cancer Blogs and Forums focus on helping women with lung cancer. The forum sensitizes them about issues around living with the condition.
It would help to know that aside from genetic factors, the stress that accompanies living with gender inequality can also lead to lung cancer in women [2].
