Details

• Lung cancer deaths for men are falling in most European Union countries, including all new member states from central and eastern Europe, according to a study in this week's issue of the British Medical Journal.
• Only four countries -- Portugal, Greece, Spain and France -- showed no evidence of a decline in the male death rate across the 35-to-54 age range, the point in the lifespan when up to 90 percent of cases are caused by smoking.
• However, increasing numbers of European women are dying from lung cancer, the study found.
• The greatest increases were in France, Spain and Hungary, with rates for women in Hungary exceeding those for women in all other member states.
• Researchers suggested that changes in cigarette manufacturing may have contributed to the decline in lung cancer among young men.
• In Poland, for example, tar yields fell by more than half between 1984 and 1999.
