For men, the good news is that lung cancer and the deaths associated with it are decreasing, but for women the rate of lung cancer continues to rise and so does the death rate.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A well-researched paper, Annual Report to the Nation on the Status on Cancer, 1975-2005, Featuring Trends in Lung Cancer, Tobacco Use, and Tobacco Control, is for the first time reporting a decline in both cancer incidence and death rates in the U.S. One of the paper&amp;#146;s co-authors is Dr. Xiao Cheng Wu, an associate professor and the assistant director of the Louisiana Tumor Registry at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans School of Public Health."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
