Methods Retrospective study of lung cancer patients n 626 referred to three cardiothoracic surgeons at a tertiary care medical center in Southern California from January 2006 to December 2008. Relationships among years of smoking cessation smoking status and tumor histology were analyzed with Chi-square tests. Results Seventy-seven percent 482 had a smoking history while 71 were current smokers. The length of smoking cessation to cancer diagnosis was 1 year for 56 1-10 years for 110 11-20 years for 87 21-30 years for 66 31-40 years for 44 41-50 years for 40 and 51-60 years for 8 . The mean cessation was years n 411 former smokers . Fifty-nine percent had stage 1 disease and had adenocarcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma was more prevalent in smokers vs. p adenocarcinoma was more prevalent in never-smokers versus p . The prevalence of adenocarcinoma varied inversely with pack year p and directly with years of smoking cessation p . Conclusions In a surgical lung cancer cohort the majority of patients were smoking abstinent greater than one decade before the diagnosis of lung cancer. Background Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death accounting for 29 of total cancer deaths in the US and over million deaths worldwide. In the US alone lung cancer claimed the lives of 171 840 individuals in 2008 and .
