The leading cause of lung cancer among women in the city was cooking oil fumes while men are more likely to develop the disease from smoking, said medical experts after a five-year research study.

Doctors announced the results yesterday with analysis on some new tendencies in lung cancer. They said patients are younger, especially women.

According to the Shanghai Tumor research Institute, more local residents die of lung cancer in the city than anything else. Following breast cancer, it has the second-highest incidence rate.

An unhealthy lifestyle is a very important reason for lung cancer, said Dr He Yumin from Shanghai Minshen Traditional Chinese Medicine Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Center.

He followed 2,276 lung cancer patients for five years. Among them, 1,433 were male.

Smoking causes 70 percent of cases among men while only 18 percent of female patients developed cancer from smoking or inhaling second-hand smoke, according to the report.

However, more than 60 percent of women with the disease had long term, close contact with strong oil fumes from cooking and complained about1 irritated eyes and throat.

About 32 percent of women fried foods in boiling oil in unventilated kitchens and about 25 percent of women"s bedrooms were adjacent to2 the kitchen.

However, local women were surprised to learn cooking oil fumes could lead to cancer. Some claimed they may change food preparation methods.

Unless my family and I don"t eat at home every day, I must stay in the kitchen to cook, said Xu Li, a 45-year-old local woman. I know the fumes are bad for the skin, but it is the first time I heard that it can result in lung cancer. I have already started frying less.

Doctors said women"s lung cancer had few links to personal health and physical condition, but

was closely related to family cancer history, unhealthy dietary habits and weak immune systems.

Other experts agreed with He.3

Smoking is by far the biggest cause4 of lung cancer for men, said Dr Tan Binyong, honorary president of the Respiratory Disease Institute at Fudan University"s Medical College. It"s true that second-hand smoke and cooking fumes are the main causes among women.

The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if exposed to the fume for a long time,6 experts said.

第三篇 厨房油烟可致癌

医学专家们经过5年的研究调研后指出，城市人群中，男性患肺癌的首要原因是吸烟，而女性患此绝症的罪魁祸首是厨房油烟。

医生们昨天宣布这一结果，并对肺癌患病的一些新趋势做出分析。他们认为病人越来越年轻化，尤其是女性。

据上海肿瘤研究所统计显示，本市死于肺癌的居民多于死于其他疾病的人。肺癌成为继乳腺癌之后的第二大高发病率肿瘤。

上海民生中医肿瘤诊疗中心何裕民医生指出： 不健康的生活习惯是致癌的一个重要原因。

他对2,276名肺癌患者进行了长达5年的追踪调研。这些患者中有1,483名师男性。

报告显示，案例中男性患者中70%是由吸烟诱发癌症的，而直邮18%的女性患者是由于吸烟或被迫吸入二手烟才诱发癌症的。

然而， 60%以上患肺癌的女性都长期接触厨房油烟并主诉眼睛和喉咙疼痛难受。

大约32%的女性在滚开的油里煎炸食物而厨房却密不透风。而大约25%的女性居住的卧室紧邻厨房。

但是，妇女们知道厨房油烟可以致癌时都很惊讶。其中一些人表示要改变准备饮食的方式。

我每天都得下厨做饭，除非我和家人都不在家用餐 ，李旭，一名45岁的妇女说， 我知道油烟对皮肤不好，但是还是第一次听说油烟竟能致癌、我以后要少煎炸食物。

医生们认为，女性患肺癌和个人健康及身体状况联系极少，但和肿瘤家族病史、不健康的饮食习惯和脆弱的免疫系统联系紧密。

其它专家同意何医生的意见。

吸烟已经成为诱发男性肺癌最最大的因素， 上海复旦大学医学院呼吸道疾病研究所名誉主席谭彬用指出， 二手烟和厨房油烟的确是诱发女性肺癌的主要原因。

他的研究同时也警告人们不要站在卖油炸食品的摊点旁，因为他们使用的油都是劣质的。

专家称，如果长时间接受油烟，患肺癌的几率有常人的3倍那么高。
