TLDR
A systematic review of the published data on lung cancer in China between 1990 and 2011 to analyze the incidence and mortality rates, economic burden, and risk factors of cancer and the effectiveness of interventions found that people in eastern China likely have a higher risk of developing lung cancer than those in western China.About:

Global Epidemiology of Lung Cancer
TL;DR: The evidence on lung cancer epidemiology, including data of international scope with comparisons of economically, socially, and biologically different patient groups is reviewed, including a discussion on the epidemiologic characteristics of special groups including women and nonsmokers.

RBMMMDA: predicting multiple types of disease-microRNA associations
Xing Chen,Chenggang Clarence Yan,Xiaotian Zhang,Zhaohui Li,Lixi Deng,Yongdong Zhang,Qionghai Dai +6 more
TL;DR: To this knowledge, RBMMMDA is the first model which could computationally infer association types of miRNA-disease pairs and based on this model, not only new miRNAs, but also corresponding association types are obtained.

Lung Cancer, Cardiopulmonary Mortality, and Long-term Exposure to Fine Particulate Air Pollution
C. Arden Pope,Richard T. Burnett,Michael J. Thun,Eugenia E. Calle,Daniel Krewski,Kazuhiko Ito,George D. Thurston +6 more
TL;DR: Fine particulate and sulfur oxide--related pollution were associated with all-cause, lung cancer, and cardiopulmonary mortality and long-term exposure to combustion-related fine particulate air pollution is an important environmental risk factor for cardiopULmonary and lung cancer mortality.

TL;DR: Screening with the use of low-dose CT reduces mortality from lung cancer, as compared with the radiography group, and the rate of death from any cause was reduced.

TL;DR: The American Cancer Society estimated the number of new cancer cases and deaths expected in the United States in the current year and compiles the most recent data on cancer incidence, mortality, and survival based on incidence data from the National Cancer Institute and mortality data from National Center for Health Statistics as discussed by the authors.
The Health Consequences of Smoking: A Report of the Surgeon General
TL;DR: This new report of the Surgeon General on the health effects of smoking provides a startling picture of the damage to health caused by tobacco use as discussed by the authors, and tragically this injury often leads to incurable disease and death.
Book
The Tobacco Atlas
Judith Mackay,Michael P. Eriksen +1 more
TL;DR: The latest edition of this groundbreaking atlas gives shape and meaning to statistics about tobacco use and control, revealing similarities and differences between countries, and exposing the behaviour of the tobacco companies.
