Lung Cancer
1 The death rate due to cancer of the lungs has increased more than 800 percent in males and has more than doubled in females during the last 25 years.It is considerably higher in urban and industrial areas than in rural districts.There are many possible causes,but it is still controversial which are most blameworthy.Those factors which have been mentioned most frequently are the presence of foreign particles and other irritants in the air(smoke particles,smog,exhaust fumes),and the smoking of cigarettes and cigars.
2 Numerous studies have demonstrated a striking correlation between the death rate from lung cancer and smoking habits.Among heavy smokers-21 to 30 cigarettes per day-the mortality rate from lung cancer is nearly 17 times the rate from nonsmokers.It is expected the death rate among women will increase as the present high rate of smoking among women has its effect.
3 Sometimes cases of lung cancer are discovered at the time an X-ray is taken for the purpose of detecting tuberculosis.Too often,however,a current emphasis upon the danger of exposure to radiation from x-ray machines can frighten people away from routine chest X-rays and thus prevent an early diagnosis of lung cancer.Early detection is absolutely essential if any possibility of cure is to be maintained.Modern X-ray machines in competent hands pose such slight danger,at least to those over 40 years of age,that this would be much more than offset by the advantages of discovering a tumor while it is small enough to be completely removed.
4 A common form of lung cancer is bronchogenic carcinoma,so-called because the malignancy originates in a bronchus.The tumor may grow until the bronchus is blocked,cutting off the supply of air to that lung.The lung then collapses,and the secretions trapped in the lung spaces become infected,with a resulting pneumonia or the formation of a lung abscess.Such a lung cancer can also spread to cause secondary growths in the lymph nodes of the chest and neck as well as in the brain and other parts of the body.The only treatment that offers a possibility of cure,before secondary growths have had time to form,is to remove the lung completely.This operation is called pneumonectomy.
5 Malignant tumors of the stomach,the breast,the prostate gland and other organs may spread to the lungs,causing secondary growths.

Cooking Oil Fumes Cause Tumor

The leading cause of lung cancer among women in the city was cooking oil fumes while men are more
likely to develop the disease from smoking,said medical experts after a five-year research study.
Doctors announced the results yesterday with analysis on some new tendencies on lung cancer. They
said patients are younger,especially women.
According to the Shanghai Tumor Research Institute,more local residents die of lung cancer in the city
than anything else.Following breast cancer,it has the second-highest incidence rate.
"An unhealthy lifestyle is a very important reason for lung cancer,"said Dr. He Yumin from Shanghai
Minshen Traditional Medicine Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Centre.
He followed 2, 276 lung cancer patients for five years.Among them,1,483 were male.
Smoking causes 70 percent of cases among men while only 18 percent of female patients developed
cancer from smoking or inhaling second-hand smoke,according to the report.
However,more than 60 percent of women with the disease had long term,close contact with strong oil
fumes from cooking and complained about irritated eyes and throat.
About 32 percent women fried foods in boiling oil in unventilated kitchens and about 25 percent of
women's bedrooms were adjacent to the kitchen.
However,local women were surprised to learn cooking oil fumc、 could lead to cancer. Some claimed
they may change food preparation methods.
"Unless my family and I don't eat at home every day,I must stay in the kitchen to cook,"said Xu Li,
a 45-year-old local woman."I know the fumes are bad for the skin,but it is the first time that I heard it
result in lung cancer. I have already started frying less."
Doctors said women's lung cancer had few links to personal health and physical condition, but was closely
related to family cancer history,unhealthy dietary habits and weak immune systems.
Other experts agreed with him.
"Smoking is by far the biggest cause of lung cancer for men,"said Dr. Tan Binyong,honorary president
of the Respiratory Disease Institute at Fudan University's Medical College."It's true that second-hand
smoke and cooking fumes are the main causes among women."
His research also warned people not to stand near of stalls selling fried food due to the poor quality of
the oils used.
The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if one is exposed to the fume for a long time,
experts said.

What was the local women's reaction when they learned that cooking oil fumes could lead to cancer?
A:Happy.
B:Surprised.
C:Angry.
D:Careless.

Cigars Instead?
Smoking one or two cigars a day doubles the risk of cancers of the lip,tongue,mouth,and throat,according to a government study.
Daily cigars also increase the risk of lung cancer and cancer of the esophagus,and increase the risk of cancer of the larynx(voice box)sixfold,say researchers at the National Cancer Institu- te in Bethesda,Maryland.
In addition,the report revealed that smoking three or four cigars a day increased the risk of oral cancer to 8.5 times the risk for nonsmokers and the risk of esophageal cancer by four times the risk of nonsmokers.
The health effects of smoking cigars is one of eight sections of the article"Cigars:Health
Effects and Trends".The researchers report that,compared with a cigarette,a large cigar emits up to 90 times as much carcinogenic tobacco-specific nitrosamines.
"This article provides clear and invaluable information about the disturbing increase in cigar use and the significant public health consequences for the country,"said Dr. Richard Klausner, director of the National Cancer Institute,in a statement.
"The data are clear-the harmful substances and carcinogens in cigar smoke,like cigarettes,are associated with the increased risks of several kinds of cancers as well as heart and lung diseases,"he added."In other words,cigars are not safe alternatives to cigarettes and may be addictive."
"To those individuals who may be thinking about smoking cigars,our advice is-don't. To those currently smoking cigars,quitting is the only way to eliminate completely the cancer,heart and lung disease risks,"warned Klausner.
According to a National Cancer Institute press release,there haven't been any studies on the health effects on nonsmokers at cigar social events,but“... a significant body of evidence clearly demonstrates an increased lung cancer risk from secondhand smoke."

In the passage how many cancers are mentioned in relation to smoking cigars daily?
A: Six.
B: Seven.
C: Eight.
D: Nine.
