A nationwide study of lung cancer in Israel during 1968-70 demonstrated a low to moderate incidence in men and a high incidence in women, as compared with other countries. The sex ratio was relatively lower than expected. This discrepancy results from a low rate of squamous cell carcinoma in men and a high rate of adenocarcinoma in women, and is consistent with similar, previously observed trends in North American Jews from New York, Pittsburgh and Montreal. The literature relating to the relative frequencies of various histological subcategories of lung cancer is reviewed and the importance, for etiology and prognosis, of a separate assessment of each distinct cell-type entity is emphasized.
1968年至1970年期间在以色列进行的一项全国性肺癌研究表明，与其他国家相比，男性肺癌发病率低至中等，而女性发病率高。性别比相对低于预期。这种差异是由于男性鳞状细胞癌发病率低而女性腺癌发病率高所致，并且与先前在纽约、匹兹堡和蒙特利尔的北美犹太人中观察到的类似趋势一致。本文回顾了与肺癌各种组织学亚类相对频率相关的文献，并强调了对每种不同细胞类型实体进行单独评估在病因学和预后方面的重要性。
