Lung Cancer Europe – Is This the Clearest Evidence Yet That Air Pollution Causes Lung Cancer?
Lung Cancer Europe posted on LinkedIn:
“Is this the clearest evidence yet that air pollution causes lung cancer?
A landmark Nature study finds DNA mutations in never-smokers that match known pollution-related patterns. It’s there in the tumour DNA.
At Lung Cancer Europe, we’ve long highlighted the need to understand and address risk in people who’ve never smoked — and ensure they’re not left out of research, detection, or policy.
This new evidence should be informing what we do next.”
