Lung Cancer in Non-Smokers Is Sixth Biggest Cancer Killer
September 15th, 2008
While lung cancer in smokers and former smokers is the biggest cancer killer by far, lung cancer in people who have never smoked is — by itself — the sixth biggest cancer killer in the United States.
“Most people are not aware that lung cancer among non-smokers has such an enormous impact,” said Lung Cancer Alliance President Laurie Fenton-Ambrose today. The heavy burden of lung cancer in non-smokers contradicts the common belief that lung cancer is a disease that strikes only smokers.
