Lung cancer kills almost 162,000 Americans each year, more than any other type of malignancy, and yet it gets less research funding per death than any other major cancer. Breast cancer, which gets far more attention, kills about 30,000 fewer women per year than lung cancer does.
And the fastest growing group of lung cancer patients are women like Ms. Alfano, who never smoked.
