Mar 24, 2022 · In the United States, about 1 to 2 percent of lung cancer cases result from air pollution. Read on to learn about particle pollution and how it can increase your risk of developing...

May 17, 2023 · The burden of disease and the underlying epidemiologic evidence linking air pollution to lung cancer in individuals who never and ever smoked were summarized to quantify the problem, assess risk prediction models, and develop recommended actions.

It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of lung cancer deaths annually worldwide are attributable to PM air pollution. Epidemiological evidence on outdoor air pollution and risk of other types of cancer, such as bladder cancer or breast cancer is more limited.

16 hours ago · Across the world in 2022, more than 200,000 cases of adenocarcinoma were linked to air pollution. Cases of adenocarcinoma – now the most common type of lung cancer worldwide – have been rising steadily in the last few years. Back in 2020, the cancer accounted for 39 per cent of global lung cancer cases in men, and 57.1 per cent of cases in ...

Sep 15, 2022 · Data from a breakthrough study in understanding how air pollution can lead to lung cancer, presented at the European Society of Medical Oncology congress on Sept 9–13, 2022, promise to revolutionise the field of oncology and approaches to public health.

Jun 20, 2016 · Overwhelming evidence shows that particle pollution in the outdoor air we breathe—like that coming from vehicle exhaust, coal-fired power plants and other industrial sources—can cause lung cancer.

Furthermore, there is increasing evidence for the specific linkage process between smoking, COPD, and lung cancer being a pathway though a cascade of reactive oxygen species activating the airway epithelium, leading to basal (stem) cell genetic reprogramming.

Mar 21, 2024 · Regarding studies on the association between air pollution and cancer mortality, 64% assessed PM 2.5 as an exposure pollutant, and lung cancer was the most common cancer to be examined (79%). The sample size ranged from 2021 to 7,218,363.

Oct 1, 2021 · The higher exposure category of pollution was associated with a 63% increased risk of lung cancer and the higher GRS with a 50% increased risk. More importantly, the air pollution–lung cancer risk existed across GRS categories, and there was additive interaction between these two parameters.

Apr 5, 2023 · Here we propose that environmental particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm (PM 2.5), known to be associated with lung cancer risk, promotes lung cancer by acting on cells that harbour pre-existing...
