RESUMO

In recent years there has been an increase in the incidence of lung cancer in women so much so that the rate of increase exceeds the rate of increase in men. This change in incidence has been associated with cigarette smoking and as it is considered that smoking is connected mainly with the squamous and undifferentiated forms of tumour it might be expected that a recent change in the proportions of the different histological groups would be demonstrable.
