Lung cancer is the deadliest form of cancer for humans, and increasingly, non-smokers are being diagnosed. Scientists suggest that air pollution may be a contributing factor to this disease. Research published in "The Lancet Respiratory Medicine" indicates that air pollution is a significant factor in the rise of lung cancer cases among

A new study found that the proportion of people being diagnosed with lung cancer who have never smoked is increasing, and air pollution may be a leading cause.

Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer death globally, with a significant rise in cases among non-smokers attributed to air pollution, according to a recent WHO study. The study highlights the growing prevalence of adenocarcinoma linked to air pollution,

Air pollution is fueling a rise in the commonest form of lung cancer among non-smokers, hitting women and people in southeast Asia particularly hard, according to a study published on Tuesday.

Experts have analyzed data to discover why non-smokers are developing lung cancer, and it is down to air pollution in our environments.

Second-hand smoke in urban areas and fire-wood smoke in rural areas blamed for lung diseases among non-smokers

Air pollution plays a significant role in the increase in the number of cases of lung adenocarcinoma, the most common type of lung cancer globally, reveals a new study published in the journal Lancet Respiratory Medicine.

"Exposure to air pollutants makes us more vulnerable to respiratory inflammation and infections such as Pneumonia and Bronchitis," said doctor Gregorio Ocampo from Makati Medical Center's Section of Pulmonary Medicine. "They also increase the risk of developing lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cancer."

A new study published on World Cancer Day in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal reveals an alarming rise in lung cancer cases

Lancet study found that adenocarcinoma -- a cancer that starts in glands that produce fluids such as mucus and digestive ones -- has become the dominant subtype among both men and women.

Lung cancer is the deadliest form of cancer for humans, and increasingly, non-smokers are being affected. Scientists suggest a possible cause: air pollution may contribute to the disease. Research published in "The Lancet Respiratory Medicine" reveals that air pollution is a key factor in the rise of lung cancer cases among non-smokers,
