		Lung cancer is by far the leading
		cause of cancer death among both men and women. There will be an estimated 161,840 deaths from lung cancer (90,810 among men and 71,030 among women) in 2008, accounting for around 29% of all cancer deaths. More people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined.

		Slightly more than 40% of people
		diagnosed with either type of lung cancer are still alive 1 year after their diagnosis. About 27% are still alive after 2 years. Only about 15% of people diagnosed with lung cancer survive this disease after 5 years

		Despite the very serious prognosis
		of lung cancer, some people are cured. More than 400,000 people alive today have been diagnosed with lung cancer at some point in time.

November is Lung
Cancer Awareness
Month!
