title: Primary cancer of the lung in women.
abstract: Analyses of the St. Francis Medical Center Cancer Registry for a 30-year period corroborated the publicized information of a gradual increase in the incidence of lung cancer in women and a recent decrease in the incidence among men. Our objectives were to highlight the biological and clinical features of lung cancer in women with the adoption and utilization of primary and secondary preventive measures.
