Cancer of the larynx
Mouth and throat cancer
Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Pancreatic cancer

Lung Cancer kills more people than the next four cancers combined.

Lung cancer kills more women than breast cancer (there are more cases of breast cancer, but fewer deaths).

There is an increae in lung cancer in women who never smoked. Secondhand smoke exposure is the most likely cause.

Most cases of lung cancer are detected when the disease is advanced and difficult to treat.

Over half of all lung cancer cases occur in nonsmokers or former smokers.
