Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Promotion by Air Pollutants

This pre-print study analyzed data from over 460,000 individuals and associates environmental carcinogens with the incidence of several cancers, including in patients with lung cancer who have never smoked and animal models. This study provides a mechanism of air pollution leading to lung cancer, highlighting the need to address air pollution in urban areas.  This study was supported by the Stand Up To Cancer-LUNGevity-American Lung Association Lung Cancer Interception Dream Team Grant.
