Better survival among women after lung cancer surgery

2021-01-07

There are known differences in the survival rates of women and men with lung cancer. Researchers at Karolinska Institute set out to investigate potential reasons behind this disparity, such as the presence of other underlying diseases and smoking status. The study, which was published in Chest, shows that women have better survival rates after lung cancer surgery than men, independent of other factors. Previous studies conducted by Karolinska Institute and other research bodies have shown a link between female sex and a lower overall disease risk, as well as better survival in many forms of cancer that affect both sexes. But one exception to this is lung cancer, where female sex could be a risk factor.
