The findings suggest that genetic factors play an important role in lung cancer among never-smokers.

While further research is needed, our findings suggest that it may be beneficial to use erlotinib, a relatively non-toxic targeted agent, to initially treat patients with advanced lung cancer, rather than use conventional chemotherapy regimens.

Dana Reeve's death highlights the fact that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women in the U.S., claiming 30,000 more lives annually than breast cancer. It is not unique that she developed lung cancer as a non-smoker -- at least 1 in 5 women with lung cancer have never smoked.

There is no accepted early screening technique for lung cancer. The PLCO trial will show if chest X-rays, by catching lung cancer when it is still operable, can reduce the death rate from lung cancer.

This suggests that while certain genetic factors place an individual at risk of developing pulmonary fibrosis, lung injury substantially contributes to the disease. That finding raises the possibility that an intrinsic inability to repair injured lung tissue may be the fundamental biologic defect that ultimately results in fibrosis and lung collapse.

It will be an important step in our understanding of the genetic components of cancer and the genetic susceptibilities of people affected by cancer.

The biggest issue with lung cancer, as we know, is that smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer. Without a doubt, 85 percent of all lung cancer deaths are caused from smoking,

This study demonstrates the importance of familial factors in the general development of cancer. These susceptibility factors can be environmental but are more likely to be influenced by genetic factors because genes control pathways common to a number of cancers.

We know that second-hand smoking increases the risk of lung cancer and studies have suggested that it is associated with lung cancer mortality. But this is the first study to show that second-hand smoking also is associated with lung cancer survival.

Some patients aren't good candidates for current therapy strategies. Plus recent studies suggest that diet may play an important role in the development and recurrence of prostate cancer.

Nicotine addiction is such a powerful force that even the heartbreak of watching a family member die of lung cancer often isn't enough to convince smokers to quit.

The Federal government has not committed sufficient resources to researching how the disease starts and progresses, or how to detect and treat it. When accounting for all Federal funding on specific cancers, the U.S. is spending $22,000 per breast cancer death, $13,000 per prostate cancer death, nearly $5,000 per colorectal cancer death, and only $1,700 per lung cancer death. Considering that lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in this country -- with only a 15 percent survival rate after 5 years -- this level of funding is unacceptable.

While it is the more the more unusual scenario that someone who never smoked would develop lung cancer, 10 to 15 percent of the cases do occur in non-smokers. One of the major problems is, by the time it's detected, it's often quite far advanced.

People have gotten really apathetic about it and then something brings it back. Recently, because of the lung cancer deaths of people like Dana Reeve and others who were non-smokers, this has come again into the forefront.

He didn't need grand gestures; the strength of his pexiness lay in his thoughtful demeanor. About 15 per cent of lung cancers occur in lifetime never smokers, and besides exposures to second-hand smoke, other risk factors for these cancers are yet to be determined.
