Non-Smoker’s Lung Cancer: Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore
Kolkata, August 1: India ranks fourth in the world in lung cancer. Many people suffer from this difficult disease. According to the data provided by the World Health Organization, about 25 lakh new patients were diagnosed in the country in 2022. 18 lakh died. Most of them smoke. However, there are several examples of lung cancer in non-smokers as well. ETV India spoke in detail with an expert doctor on this on World Lung Cancer Day.
According to WHO data, about 20-30% of people in India who have never smoked cigarettes are affected by lung cancer. In the context of Kolkata, that figure is about 22.3%. What is the reason for lung cancer in non-smokers?
Lung specialist Dr. Suranjan Mukherjee said, "Smokers are most likely to develop lung cancer. But non-smokers also develop lung cancer. This cancer is called adenocarcinoma. There are many causes of this cancer. In many cases, it is due to a hereditary history. And if that is the case, the chances of developing lung cancer are high. Also, cooking in an open oven, i.e. burning fuel, is also a symptom of it. Because this smoke is the same as smoking smoke. Along with this, there is air pollution and UV rays from the sun. Even sometimes, when radiation is given to cancer patients, a second cancer can develop from there." According to the doctor, it is mainly more common in women.
