Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer – LUNGevity Foundation

LUNGevity Foundation shared a post by Lucia Viola, Pulmonologist at Fundación Neumológica Colombiana, on X:

“Important reminder that anyone with lungs can get lung cancer.

Did you know? Risk factors include air pollution, biomass combustion, radon gas, occupational exposure, lung disease, family history of cancer, geographic variability, and genetic factors and more.”

Quoting Lucia Viola’s post:

“Facing an un-meet in lung cancer screening: people who have never smoked.”
