The number of smokers in the world is It is fallingLung cancer continues to cause Almost 2 million people died Annual -and a new research report on the rise of cases of people who did not smoke.
After the study, the international team found that the group’s lung cancer ratio may be related to the increase in pollution levels and the follow -up health damage in East Asia, especially China.
“Lung cancer is a major cancer worldwide, so a comprehensive understanding of mechanical patterns and potential causes are essential.” write Researchers are in published papers.
Researchers who destroyed the statistics of the Global Cancer Observatory (Globocan) survey in 2022 and the registration of cancer from 1988 to 2017 Adenocarcinoma The world’s most widespread lung cancer is 45.6 %for men and 59.7 %for women.
Adenocarcinoma starts with sweat glands and can be caused by smoking Not 1st place Cancer type of smoker. But the most common type of lung cancer. In non -smokers.
See their discovery Previous studyResearchers confirm the trend in the case of lung cancer cases of people who have never smoked. The researchers said that it was necessary to solve with continuous efforts to prevent smokers to end smokers and to prevent young people to occupy habits.
“As the prevalence of smoking continues to decline in many countries around the world, the proportion of lung cancer in people who did not smoke has increased.” write researcher.
“In particular, lung cancer of people who have never smoked is estimated to be the fifth main cause of the world -related mortality rate, and mostly in adenocarcinoma, most commonly in women and Asian population.”
The research team has an increase in air pollution in some of the reasons for the increase in lung cancer in non -smokers, and some Initial study We have already joined the point between adenocarcinoma and air pollution.
Once again, there is a link with East Asia, especially China, where the atmosphere is the worst in the world.
Even if one cause of lung cancer is weak, the other is rising, which is not about choice of personal lifestyle, but about pollution around the world.
As always, data collection and analysis should provide a better understanding of how scientists develop and how to solve one of the most common cancers in the world.
“Our findings are for those who want to develop and implement strategies to control tobacco and air pollution, to those who control air pollution appropriate for high -percentage of lung cancer or the population that increases the risk of generations. It provides insights. ” write researcher.
This study has been published Lancet Respiratory Medicine.
