      Responsible for more deaths amongst women than even breast cancer, lung disease is fatal for 86 percent of its victims within five years of diagnosis, a rate which has been little improved since the early 1950s. This collection of 15 articles addresses relatively current research and therapies, focusing on that specific to women. Topics include hypoxia-targeted and radiation-induced gene therapy, glucose transport and metabolism in cancer, women's survival and susceptibility to risk, the epidemiology of lung cancer in women, differences in smoking cessation intervention between the sexes, the role of female hormones, clinical and molecular profiling literature, differences in the molecular profile of lung cancer between the sexes, outdoor air pollution and women's risk of lung cancer, functional imaging and fine needle aspiration in the diagnosis and management of lung cancer in women, and possible health implications of the work environment.
