TL;DR
Cancer of the lung is one of the common cancers among males in all the GCC countries and ranks second among Bahraini females and also was more common in women than men.
Abstract
Cancer of the lung is one of the common cancers among males in all the GCC countries and ranks second among Bahraini females. Adenocarcinomas were more common in women than men.

The consumption of alcohol appeared to reduce the risk of ischaemic heart disease, largely irrespective of amount, among British men in middle or older age; among regular drinkers mortality from all causes combined increased progressively with amount drunk above 21 units a week.

The results indicate the possible importance of passive or indirect smoking as one of the causal factors of lung cancer and appear to explain the long-standing riddle of why many women develop lung cancer although they themselves are non-smokers.

It is evident that further investigation of this issue is warranted, as there was a statistically significant difference between the cancer cases and the other patients with respect to their husbands' smoking habits.

By the time the children of today reach middle age smoking will be one of the largest causes of death in the world, leading to a world total of about 10 million deaths a year from tobacco.

No time trend was observed in nonsmokers for cancers of other selected sites except for a decrease in cancer of the uterus, and nonsmoking women married to nonsm smoking husbands showed very little, if any, increased risk of lung cancer.

Unless tobacco‐control efforts in developing countries are strengthened, the massive rise in cigarette consumption over the last few decades will produce a comparable rise in cancer in these countries within the next 20 to 30 years.

The results indicate no association between childhood exposure to ETS and lung cancer risk and weak evidence of a dose-response relationship between risk of lung cancer and exposure to spousal and workplace ETS is found.

There has been renewed interest in screening because spiral computerised tomography can detect small asymptomatic lesions more effectively than conventional radiography, although cure rates for such lesions are very good and there is to date no evidence for effectiveness of mass-screening strategies.

A pattern of lung cancer risk associated with cigarettes smoke, across different European regions, reflects inherent characteristics of the studies as well as differences in smoking habits, and it is likely to have been influenced by effect modifiers like indoor radon exposure, occupation, air pollution and dietary habits.

It is more likely than not that the observed association is not an artifact and that ETS causes lung cancer in non smokers, and the risk of lung cancer increased consistently with increasing levels of exposure.

There are now an increasing number of new inhaler delivery systems which are designed to optimise lung deposition, and it is therefore important to know how this might alter the systemic bioavailability.

Empirical evidence is provided that smoking and alcohol use are associated with risks of cancers of the larynx and lung in Turkey and that both laryngealand lung cancer showed significant associations with smoking and alcoholdrinking, but no monotonic dose-response was obtained for alcohol drinking.

Use of data from a large case-control study of lung cancer found that for both men and women, the proportion of adenocarcinomas increased with the number of years since quitting smoking, and among long-term quitters (> 25 years), the proportion was similar to that in never smokers.

Rates estimated in this population are comparable to those from North American studies, and the increasing rate during the study period might be due to non‐smokers who took up the habit, but it might also reflect temporal changes in the effect of other risk factors of lung cancer in non-smokers.

The results of the study confirmed that cigarette smoking is associated with all histological types of lung cancer; however, the dose/response relationship between smoking and adenocarcinoma differed clearly from that observed in squamous and small-cell carcinomas.
