Synopsis
Every time tobacco is inhaled, it creates conditions in the body almost ideally suited to the formation of cancer. So how do experts explain lung cancer in non-smokers — and what are the significant risk factors for lung cancer other than smoking? Geoffrey Oxnard, MD, a medical oncologist at Dana-Farber’s Lowe Center for Thoracic Oncology, helps us get to the bottom of this, and other misconceptions about lung cancer and smoking, in the latest episode of Cancer Mythbusters.
