乳腺癌是美国女性第二常见的癌症，肺癌是最致命的。乳腺癌的病因尚不清楚，尽管85%的肺癌是由吸烟引起的。一项关于社会对严重疾病的看法的研究综述表明，因果解释分为两类：（1）患者行为和（2）患者控制之外的因素。在这篇综述中提出的问题涉及（1）病人的应对，（2）耻辱，（3）卫生保健和研究界的反应。最后提出了进一步研究肺癌和乳腺癌的社会认知的建议。
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in American women, and lung cancer is the deadliest. The etiology of breast cancer is not clear, although 85% of lung cancers are explained by cigarette smoking. A research review of the social perception of serious illness has shown that causal explanations fall into two categories: (1) patient behavior and (2) factors outside the patient's control. Presented in this review are questions concerning (1) patient coping, (2) stigma, and (3) the responses of the health care and research communities. Suggestions are made for further study of the social perception of lung and breast cancers.
