Lung cancer in 'Never-smokers': molecular factors trump risk factors.
While they represent a minority of patients with lung cancer, more than 20,000 people in the United States who never smoked cigarettes are diagnosed with lung cancer each year.[1] This makes lung cancer in “never-smokers” one of the 10 most common cancers—more common than ovarian cancer.

Thus lung cancer in never smokers would rank among the most common causes of cancer mortality in the United States if considered as a separate category. Slightly more tha...
