Im not sure wether if this is an attractive issue or not, but it's okay to share with others about Mesothelioma Lung Cancer and Lung Cancer Survival. For your information, this is a news from Forbes - "More Dollars Don't Boost Lung Cancer Survival "

Regarding to Forbes, more than $1million spend for a lung cancer patient to get an extra year of life, but overall survival from the disease hasn't increased significantly. Its not a small budget. Actually, the outcome of Health Care for this disease ( Lung Cancer ) is not significantly with their medical cost.

As the medical officers said, Lung cancer still remains the leading cause of cancer death in the United States. This year 160,390 Americans will die from the disease. From a survey,The researchers found that an additional year of life for a patient with lung cancer cost an average of $403,142. The cost of each additional year of survival for people with local disease was $143,614. For people with metastatic lung cancer, each year of additional survival cost $1,190,322, Woodward's team found.

Each in the United States, more than $5 billion is spent on detecting, diagnosing and treating lung cancer. However, the one-year survival rate from the disease has increased only 5 percent from the late 1970s to 2002, the researchers noted -- between 1975 to 1979 the one-year survival rate for lung cancer patients was 37 percent and, in 2002, it was 42 percent, they said.

This is a wasted health care. Although it can cost more dollars, the outcome of this way are not significant. We are able to control this situation if we aware about this disease's dangerous and it's medical cost. Im agry with an opinion of one of medical officer in this news. He said the government should spend more money to prevent smoking" and this is the most cost-effective way of bringing lung cancer costs under control.
