[Characteristic clinical manifestations of lung cancer in women]

In women lung cancer was found to have a latent development much more often than in men. An analysis of the duration of the period from the appearance of clinical symptoms of lung cancer up to the medical consultation has shown that duration of the medical history in women was longer than that in men. An earlier admittance to the hospital of men with lung cancer can be explained by an earlier appearance of clinical symptoms making the patient seek medical advice.
