Lung Cancer Europe shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Lung cancer in never smokers isn’t rare. And it’s increasing.
Yet early detection and risk models still rely heavily on smoking history. That gap means many people who’ve never smoked are diagnosed late, often after symptoms have been dismissed or overlooked.
A new opinion piece in Trends in Cancer brings together growing evidence that lung cancer in never smokers is biologically distinct, shaped by different risk factors, and not well served by current approaches to risk assessment or screening.
The authors, Deborah Caswell, Crispin Hiley, Murphy, Bao and Charles Swanton, outline why understanding, detection and prevention for never-smoker lung cancer have not kept pace with what we now know, and why this matters for research priorities, policy and future screening strategies across Europe.
This important paper clearly reflects what many across Europe have been observing for some time – that current approaches to lung cancer risk and early detection are still lagging behind the evidence.”
