Summary: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the US. This study used the All of Us database to compare healthcare access, family history, smoking behaviors, and psychiatric comorbidities in different groups of lung cancer patients and controls. The results showed differences in healthcare access and psychiatric burdens among different groups, providing valuable insights into disease management.

Summary: A case-control study conducted in Singapore found that family history is a significant risk factor for lung cancer in Singaporean Chinese women, especially among never-smokers. This highlights the importance of considering family history in assessing lung cancer risk, particularly in non-smoking populations.

Summary: Lung cancer is a common cancer globally, and there is increasing concern that the use of e-cigarettes and exposure to environmental toxicants could increase the risk of developing lung cancer. This review aims to analyze the importance of the relationship between e-cigarette use and environmental toxicants in the development of lung cancer.

Summary: The study found that counties with stronger smoke-free air ordinances had lower smoking rates and fewer new lung cancer cases per year. Therefore, strengthening smoke-free air ordinances is crucial for reducing lung cancer incidence.

Summary: This study found that the risk of female lung cancer increases linearly with the intensity and duration of tobacco smoking, while the risk decreases with longer cessation time. The increase in the comprehensive smoking index significantly raised the risk of small cell or squamous cell carcinomas.

Summary: This study investigated the association between waterpipe smoking and nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) mortality. It found that exclusive waterpipe smokers had a higher risk of NPC death compared to exclusive cigarette smokers. The intensity of waterpipe smoking, earlier age of smoking initiation, longer duration, and cumulative number of smoke lifetime were all positively associated with NPC risk. The findings suggest that waterpipe smoking is more harmful than cigarettes in developing NPC, and strict tobacco control measures are recommended.

Summary: Very little is known about the breast cancer risk profile among American Indian women. This retrospective case control study explored the association of common risk factors among American Indian women with and without breast cancer, showing weak positive associations between some risk factors and breast cancer. The study found nulliparity to be the only consistently significant risk factor.

Summary: This study in a large prospective cohort in Australia found that women with lung cancer tend to have longer survival than men. Known prognostic factors account for the sex-related survival disparity.

Summary: The study found that education level was associated with the prevalence of smoking, regardless of social class, and specific behaviors related to same-sex sexual experiences were associated with a higher prevalence of smoking. Regular alcohol consumption was also correlated with a higher prevalence of cigarette smoking.

Summary: Our study found that working as a painter is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer in men, especially for construction and repair painters. The risk was elevated for all histological subtypes and there was evidence of interaction between smoking and employment as a painter.

Summary: The study found that, even after adjusting for clinical characteristics, there were still differences in tumor genomics between races, with tumors from Black men carrying fewer PTEN mutations and more AR alterations. Therapies targeting alterations more common in racial minorities are needed.

Summary: This study examined the relationships between smoking habit, clinical stage, and sex with age at diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma. The results showed that smoking, advanced stage, and female sex were associated with younger age at diagnosis. This study provides new insights into the clinical variables influencing age at diagnosis and opens up possibilities for further research on the genetic and molecular mechanisms responsible for these associations.

Summary: The study found that active smoking significantly increased the risk of lung cancer in women, while passive smoking also had a slight effect on increasing the risk of lung cancer in non-smoking women. In Norway, more than 80% of lung cancer cases could have been prevented if women did not smoke.

Summary: There was no evidence that radiation therapy further increased second primary contralateral breast cancer (CBC) risk in young women with first primary breast cancer who were current smokers or had smoking history.
