Yago Garitaonaindia, Translational Research Fellow at CCIT-DK – National Center for Cancer Immune Therapy of Denmark, shared a post on X:
“New in Nature Medicine: vaping after quitting raises lung cancer risk (Korean cohort, 4.5M).
Risk versus complete quitters:
- Incidence aHR 1.56 (1.24–1.97).
- LC death aHR 2.00 (1.28–3.15).
For clinicians: go for complete cessation, not a switch to e-cigs!”
