“…Compared with older people, lung cancer among young people are more often adenocarcinoma, which may be less closely related to smoking than squamous cell or small cell lung carcinoma and may be more likely to be associated with genetic predisposition to cancers [52,[54][55][56]. Nevertheless, the role of tobacco smoking in elevated lung cancer risk among young adults is evident [57][58]. US lung cancer death rates for young adults by state have been associated with a statewide summary tobacco control index [57][58].…”

“…Nevertheless, the role of tobacco smoking in elevated lung cancer risk among young adults is evident [57][58]. US lung cancer death rates for young adults by state have been associated with a statewide summary tobacco control index [57][58]. Since the latency of lung cancer spans several decades, cases diagnosed among persons in their forties may generally be related to cigarette smoking prevalence among teens in the same birth cohort [58].…”

The age at crossover from a predominance of non-epithelial cancers to a predominance of epithelial cancers during adolescence and young adulthood varied by gender and race. Epithelial cancer became the predominant type of tumor after age 40 years among males while it was the predominant type after age 25 years among females. There was also a shift in the top five cancer types with increasing age, which varied by race and gender. Epithelial cancers of the thyroid, breast, ovary, and cervix uteri started to increase sharply among young women in their 20s while among males epithelial cancers rarely occurred until the early 30s (ages 30--34). Cancers of the female breast, colon and rectum, and lung began to occur at an earlier age and increased more sharply among blacks than among whites. However, the incidence rates of epithelial thyroid and ovarian cancers rose more quickly among whites than blacks. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and soft tissue sarcoma (excluded Kaposi's sarcoma) increased with age among both whites and blacks but the rates were significantly higher among blacks than among whites. Both Kaposi's sarcoma and testicular cancer incidence increased with age and peaked in the early 30s (ages 30--34). The former was significantly higher among blacks than whites while the latter was significantly higher among whites than blacks. Cervical cancer incidence leveled off when white women reached their 30s, but for black women the rate continued to rise with advancing age. Cutaneous melanoma rates were significantly higher among females than among males between the ages of 15 and 39. Conclusion Cancer incidence patterns among adolescents and young adults are distinctive. Specific cancer prevention and control strategies should be targeted accordingly and tailored to their specific needs.

“…A trend of increasing incidence was found in both females and males, as other literature has reported. 6 Annual percentage change was significantly changed from 1973 to 2005 (P < .001 for both males and females). However, when population distribution was taken into account, the standardized (Table 1).…”

BACKGROUND:The treatment, prognosis, and outcomes of young lung cancer patients have not been fully explored. In addition, there is a pressing need to characterize this subgroup of patients, because there is a trend of increasing incidence in younger patients from Europe and Japan. METHODS: Consecutive, nonselected young patients (<45 years old) with pathologically diagnosed lung cancer treated at 175 qualified hospitals in the greater Shanghai area were included in this analysis. Incidence, prognostic factors, and treatment outcome of lung cancer patients from 2002 to 2006 were documented. A comparison with lung cancer patients of any age was also made. RESULTS: A total of 12,380 patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer were registered. Among them, 652 patients were between 15 and 45 years old. One-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates of lung cancer patients younger than 45 years were 49.87%, 26.68%, and 23.12%, respectively. TNM stage, treatment hospital (tertiary vs community hospital), sex, and cancer histology were confirmed as independent prognostic factors. Compared with lung cancer patients of any age in Shanghai, the percentage of adenocarcinoma in the young male subgroup was significantly higher (63.77% vs 43.19%, P < .001). Interestingly, median survival time of young lung cancer patients was similar with that of lung cancer patients of any age, but was significantly shorter than the median survival of middle-aged patients (45-60 years old). CONCLUSIONS: Median survival of the middle-aged group (45-60 years) was significantly longer than the young group (<45 years) and the old group (>60 years). Therefore, aggressive treatment modalities should be strongly considered for young lung cancer patients. Cancer 2010;116;3656-62.

“…However, regardless of the precise reasons, the current situation in Russia is deeply worrying from a public health perspective. Western research has linked smoking in adolescence to both smoking in adulthood (Chassin et al 1996) and, unsurprisingly, adverse health outcomes (Strand et al 2004), with evidence suggesting that starting before the age of 15 years doubles the risk of lung cancer compared with those starting five or more years later (Peto et al 2000). If an increasing number of young people are now smoking, many of them heavily, it will further exacerbate the terrible impact that smoking already has on public health in Russia.…”

The family environment appears to be an important determinant of adolescent smoking in Russia. In particular, boys and girls may be modelling the negative health behaviour lifestyles of their parents, with unhealthy behaviours clustering. Efforts to reduce adolescent smoking in Russia must address the negative effects emanating from the parental home whilst also addressing associated behaviours such as alcohol use.

Adolescent smoking and trends in lung cancer incidence among young adults in Norway 1954–1998

Abstract: The lung cancer incidence rate in young Norwegian women now equals that of men. The risk at age 40-44 was closely associated with teenage smoking, indicating that duration and age of onset are important.
