Lung cancer has been viewed as the most common malignant cancer with high incidence, mortality and poor survival all over the world. A lot of investigations indicated there are significant gender-associated differences in lung cancer in several characteristics such as epidemiology, pathology, clinical outcome and prognosis. The insight into these differences may help to clarify the gender-associated characteristics of lung cancer, and to drawn out new approach for treatment and prevent of lung cancer depending on gender-associated characteristics. Furthermore, study on mechanism of gender-associated characteristics may even help to illuminate the pathogenesis of lung cancer.
肺癌一直被视为全球最常见的恶性肿瘤，其发病率、死亡率高，生存率低。大量研究表明，肺癌在流行病学、病理学、临床结局和预后等几个特征方面存在显著的性别相关差异。深入了解这些差异可能有助于阐明肺癌的性别相关特征，并根据性别相关特征制定新的肺癌治疗和预防方法。此外，对性别相关特征机制的研究甚至可能有助于阐明肺癌的发病机制。
