Passage Two
For years researchers have debated the whether smokingeffects the lungs in men and women differently. In a most compelling study onthe topic to date, researchers determined that women are twice as vulnerable tolung cancer as men. But in a surprising twist, they die at half the rate ofmen. The study, which was published last week in the Journal of the AmericanMedical Association (J. A. M. A. ), included 9, 427 men and’7, 498 women fromthroughout North America who were healthy, at least 40 years old and eithercurrent or former smokers. Over the course of more than eight years, a group ofinvestigators led by Dr. Claudia Henschke of the WeillMedical Collegein New York Cityidentified lung tumors in 113 of the men and 156 of the women. Then theresearchers kept track of who lived and for how long, as well as the treatmentparticipants were given. The study showed that both sexes tended to be in theirlate 60s when they received a lung-cancer diagnosis but that the women usuallyhad smoked considerably less than the men. Still, at each stage of lung cancer,the women lived longer than the men. If the reported results are confirmed,there are a few hints from other research that might explain the sexdifference. Women’s bodies appear to have greater difficulty repairing thedamage to their genes caused by smoking, but there is also some evidence thatestrogen, which is found in women’s lungs as well as their ovaries, mayinterfere with some tumors’ ability to grow. There is one thing about which allinvestigators are ready to agree: lung cancer is particularly deadly and almostentirely preventable. So the take-home message is clear: Don’t smoke ! If youdo smoke, quit !
Questions
