Short- and long-term survival outcomes among never smokers who developed lung cancer
2021, Cancer EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :Additionally, never smokers with a history of diabetes had significantly worse survival outcomes (HR=3.15 (1.74, 5.71)). Lung cancer patients with a history of tobacco use have been shown to have different demographic and clinical profiles[3,5,13,18,20,21], as well as known mutational variations [3,4,9] compared to never smokers who develop lung cancer. The present investigation supports previous findings indicating that never smokers are more likely to be female, have fewer comorbidities and be diagnosed with a histologic type that is predominantly adenocarcinoma.

2016, Gene ReportsCitation Excerpt :On the contrary, age-dependent increase in the proportion of lung cancer patients who were never smokers was observed (Quoix et al., 2010). Besides the age, representation of females is very high in non-smokers diagnosed with lung cancer (Radzikowska et al., 2002; Sun et al., 2007; Yano et al., 2008; Govindan, 2010; Scagliotti et al., 2009). Incidence of lung cancer in never smokers is associated with geographical locations.
Alcohol consumption and lung cancer risk in never smokers
2016, Gaceta SanitariaResidential radon and lung cancer in never smokers. A systematic review
2014, Cancer LettersCitation Excerpt :Though at first sight it could seem a low percentage, if we consider lung cancer in never smokers as a specific cancer it would rank the seventh cause of cancer death worldwide [4]. Many authors state than lung cancer in never smokers should be considered as a different disease than lung cancer due to tobacco consumption [4–6]. Residential radon exposure is the second cause of lung cancer after tobacco consumption and it is the main risk factor among never smokers [7].
