Thank you for your informative article about women and lung cancer; for not enabling the American Cancer Society's simplistic explanation for the increasing rates among women to be the final word. Lung cancer is complicated; it is more than one disease and while smoking (both primary and secondary) is the #1 risk factor there are other causes such as radon and risk factors still not known. Heightened awareness is necessary to save lives; detected early, lung cancer is potentially curable
