Chest X-ray showing lung cancer

... that in 2019 Paul Cosford presented findings that lung cancer (pictured) in people who have never smoked is increasing and is more common than many people think? Source: The authors include Prof Paul Cosford...the absolute numbers and rates of lung cancers in never-smokers are increasing..People will find these numbers very surprising. They rarely think of lung cancer as a non-smoker’s disease. They’re so focused on smoking as the main risk factor that we forget that there are quite a few causes of lung cancer that affect non-smokers." [1][2]
