To examine patterns and trends in lung cancer and the risk factors associated with development of this disease.
Epidemiologic studies, research studies, review articles, and government reports pertaining to epidemiology of lung cancer.
Epidemiological evidence documents that most lung cancer cases could be prevented. With 3 million persons worldwide dying annually from lung cancer attributable to smoking, cigarette smoking remains the number one target for public health action to reduce cancer risk in the general population.
A useful resource for nurses is the descriptive epidemiology of lung cancer, a knowledge base that identifies who is at risk. Linking this risk information with knowledge of strategies for reducing these risks provides a basis for planning and implementing interventions to prevent lung cancer.
研究肺癌的发病模式和趋势以及与该疾病发生相关的危险因素。
与肺癌流行病学相关的流行病学研究、科研研究、综述文章及政府报告。
流行病学证据表明，大多数肺癌病例是可以预防的。全球每年有300万人死于吸烟所致的肺癌，吸烟仍是降低普通人群癌症风险的公共卫生行动的首要目标。
肺癌的描述性流行病学是护士的有用资源，这一知识库可确定哪些人处于风险之中。将这些风险信息与降低这些风险的策略知识相结合，可为规划和实施预防肺癌的干预措施提供依据。
