Researchers studying the genetic structure of lung tissue cells is much more active in women.
Also, a nonsmoker who develops lung cancer is three times more likely to be female than male. Our study may provide an explanation for this. The study showed that the acton of a specific gene increased lung cancer risk in women and men smokers, but the risk was 12 times higher for women smokers with the active gene, said Shriver. Shriver is first author of the study appearing today in the journal of the National Cancer Institute. Many studies have shown that both and nonsmoking women are at a much higher risk of developing lung cancer than are their male counterparts, and some studies have found the risks up to 2.3 times higher for women, she said.
