Project
Extensive work has been done on the subject of lung cancer throughout the world but data unique to Pakistan is sparse. Some studies have managed to establish risk factors but they have failed to capture any significant association between histology of cancer and smoking status. Besides, there is ethnic disparity associated with differences in smoking prevalence, environmental exposures, genetic and gender predisposition. Our research aims at categorizing the different types of lung cancer in patient population unique to Pakistan and providing an insight in the occurrence of various histological subtypes relative to the patient’s smoking status.Team Introduction

I believe that in the vast field of medical science, somewhere something incredible is waiting to be known and that is what sparked my interest in research. As for my future goals, I am inclined towards clinical practice and aspire to become a great pediatrician one day.
“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.”
Going through medical college, one flashcard at a time. Aspiring to be a surgeon because the human body is absolutely fascinating to observe in the raw or an OB/GYN as it is the only specialty that has the best of both worlds, medicine and surgery. Currently procrastinating through movies that stay with you long after you have seen them and novels that finish in 350 pages.

I am a student of fourth year MBBS and vice-president of local council of IFMSA-Lahore. I wish to pursue my career as a surgeon. I firmly believe that a good doctor needs to look more into disease than just mere diagnosis and that is something that brings my interest in research.

I did my matriculation and intermediate from DPS Okara and belong to same city. I am doing

I aspire to become a brilliant doctor, one day, InshaAllah, and be able to serve the people, be it through research or practicing medicine. My field of interest is Endocrinology as it offers a thought provoking mechanism and diagnosing the particular link which is weakest of the chain is a thrill.

"Discussing preventive measures, Dr Malcolm Moore, head of the Union for International Cancer Control, Asia regional office, Korea, underlined the need to adopt a healthier lifestyle and diet. Comparing cancer statistics across South Asia, he said lung cancer in Pakistan might be on the rise due to smoking, nutritional and hormonal factors"
"The International Lung Cancer Morbidity and Mortality Trend Report 2014 reveals that more than 90 per cent of the lung cancer is caused by active smoking. According to the recent Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey Report (PDHSR 2012-2013), the incidence of smoking has increased during the last one decade. There is a stark increase in tobacco use among men as 45 percent of the male population aged 15-49 years use some form of tobacco. Of the total number of smokers, 70 percent use tobacco in the form of cigarettes (10 or more daily)."
