  • Title: [Smoking and lung cancer in women (author's transl)].
    Author: Vutuc C, Kunze M.
    Journal: Prax Klin Pneumol; 1979 Nov; 33(11):1121-4. PubMed ID: 523423.
    Abstract:
    60 per cent (108) of 180 women with lung cancer were cigarette smokers as compared with only 21 per cent (75) smokers in a control group of 360 female patients. The former group had been smoking for an average of 40 years, with a preference for high-tar cigarettes in 78 per cent of the cases. The women in the control group had started smoking about 33 years ago and 57 per cent preferred low tar cigarettes. The differences were significant. The exposure pattern of male and female lung cancer patients was markedly the same.
