Lung SPOREs
While the mortality rate has declined among most population groups over
the past decade, cancers of the lung and bronchus are still the leading
cause of cancer death among both males and females in the United States.
According to estimates of the American Cancer Society, approximately 174,470
new cases of lung and bronchus cancer and 162,460 deaths were expected
to be reported in the year 2006. The high mortality rate is due largely
to the fact that a majority of these cancers are not detected until the
disease has reached an advanced stage, when treatment is less effective.
Because of the huge burden of lung cancer in terms of morbidity and mortality,
lung cancer was an early focus of the SPORE Program. Three Lung SPOREs
have been funded since 1992 and additional SPOREs were added raising the
number to six in 2001. In the year 2003, the number of Lung Cancer SPOREs
increased to seven.
