Nut and peanut butter consumption and the risk of lung cancer and its subtypes: a prospective cohort study

In 2012, 1.8 million people were diagnosed with lung cancer worldwide, which accounted for 13% of all cancer diagnoses [1]. Survival rates of lung cancer are still poor, despite advances in its detection and treatment: the 5-year survival rate in the USA was 18% for total lung cancer and 4% for advanced lung cancer [2]. Unfortunately, minimally 50% of the patients are diagnosed when at an advanced disease stage [2].
