Lung cancer rising among people who never smoked
Original: Lung cancer in never-smokers
News coverage is highlighting lung cancer cases in people who have never smoked, a group historically overlooked in screening and public awareness. Reports note that never-smokers can develop the disease, often at later diagnosis, and discussion is focusing on possible causes such as air pollution, genetic factors, and radon exposure, as well as what this means for screening guidelines and research funding.
Why now: Growing evidence that lung cancer is increasingly diagnosed in non-smokers is prompting fresh attention to screening rules and causes like air pollution.
