Author: National Women's Health Resource Center
Published by: National Women's Health Resource Center, Inc., February 2007

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death in women, and nonsmoking women are two to three times more likely than men to get the disease—although doctors don't know why. At the same time, in 2000, the number of women who died from COPD surpassed that of men for the first time.These lung conditions pose unique challenges for the women who develop them and the health providers who care for them. Learn more about lung cancer, COPD, asthma and pneumonia in women, plus strategies to quit smoking for good.
