Do you have a reference for survival rates? Note that there are many confounding factors - lung cancer incidence has dropped a lot although lung cancer itself remains intractable to average cancer survival rates may have improved.
- Craiggybear 15y agoSmall cell, granuloma, take your pick. The data is available world-wide. The fact is that lung cancer is one from which there is never a good prognosis regardless of type. People can expect 4-5 years on average (although I know people who have gone past ten and have a good quality of life). It also is one where heredity and genetics plays an enormous role (as opposed to purely environmental conditions). Like I said, molecular biology is something we've only just noticed far less got a handle on. Ars Longa Vita Brevis.
