Lung Cancer Risks Rise With Nanoparticles, Lung Cancer

Editorial comment (mine):
I had written concerning this issue before, but new info/repeat for newer members. Some years ago, I had spoken with a well known researcher while discussing family histories of ovarian cancer because in a small non-scientific study we had done, it seemed certain cancers were very prevelant and outside of what might be considered the norm. Lung cancer was one. The researcher at the time said that they believed there is was/is a genetic component between ovarian and lung cancer, aside from both being epithelial (the lining of an organ) cancers. It seems, although not specific, this article is starting to document these concerns/advances. Anyway, a FYI, but mostly it is because over years I have witnessed lung cancer patients being ostracized not only by the public by others. I hope some now take a reflective look when judging those most in need. Anyway, a bit off topic but I think it important not only for cancer communities but for all.

> More recent studies point to the cause of lung cancer as possibly genetic. While researchers insist environmental factors, such as smoking, asbestos exposure, etc., play a role in the development of the disease, there is growing evidence that the answer to the question is at the gene level.
