It has no color or smell, so testing is the only way to know if your home has elevated levels. Radon is a leading cause of lung cancer among people who have never smoked.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Secondhand smoke:<\/strong> Regular exposure to cigarette smoke from others increases lung cancer risk, even if you&#8217;ve never smoked yourself.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Air pollution:<\/strong> Long-term exposure to pollutants from traffic, industrial emissions, and other sources may increase risk.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Workplace exposures:<\/strong> Certain occupations may involve exposure to asbestos, diesel exhaust, arsenic, and other cancer-causing substances.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Family history and genetics:<\/strong> Having a parent or sibling with lung cancer may increase your risk due to shared genetics or environmental exposures.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Previous radiation treatment:<\/strong> People who received radiation therapy to the breast or chest for another cancer may have an increased risk of developing lung cancer later in life. This is a minor risk factor, and the benefits of radiation therapy far outweigh the risks.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some cases, people develop lung cancer without any known risk factors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLung cancer can develop for different reasons, and we don&#8217;t always know exactly why it occurs in someone who has never smoked,\u201d Dr. Shersher says. \u201cThe important thing is not to dismiss symptoms simply because you don&#8217;t have a history of smoking.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smoking, Vaping, and Your Lung Health&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While lung cancer in people who have never smoked deserves attention, cigarette smoking remains by far the leading cause of the disease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the CDC, people who smoke cigarettes are 15 to 30 times more likely to develop lung cancer or die from it than people who don&#8217;t smoke. The risk increases with the number of cigarettes smoked and the number of years a person smokes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaping is another concern, although its long-term health effects are still being studied. E-cigarette aerosol is not just harmless water vapor. It can contain nicotine, heavy metals, and cancer-causing chemicals. While vaping is often perceived as a safer alternative to smoking, it is not without health risks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that quitting smoking can lower your lung cancer risk, regardless of how long you&#8217;ve smoked. Avoiding secondhand smoke and testing your home for radon are additional steps you can take to protect your lung health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re ready to quit smoking, MD Anderson at Cooper offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/tobacco-cessation-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tobacco cessation support<\/a> to help you take that next step.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Know the Symptoms and When to Get Screened&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lung cancer often causes no noticeable symptoms in its early stages. When symptoms do appear, they can resemble more common conditions, such as bronchitis, asthma, or a respiratory infection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Symptoms to watch for include:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A persistent cough or a cough that gets worse&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Coughing up blood or rust-colored mucus&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shortness of breath or wheezing&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chest pain, especially when breathing deeply, coughing or laughing&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Recurring respiratory infections&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unusual or persistent fatigue&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hoarseness (changes in your voice)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pain in the shoulder or arm&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Swelling in the neck or face&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Widening of the fingertips and nailbeds (called \u201cclubbing\u201d)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If lung cancer spreads to other parts of the body, symptoms may include:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bone pain&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Weakness or numbness in an arm or leg&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Headaches, dizziness, or seizures&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Balance problems or trouble walking&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Swollen lymph nodes in the neck or above the collarbone&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having one of these symptoms doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean you have lung cancer. However, symptoms that persist, worsen, or keep returning should be evaluated by a health care provider.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For people at high risk, annual lung cancer screening with a low-dose CT scan can help detect cancer before symptoms develop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To be a candidate for lung cancer screening, you must:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be 50 to 80 years old.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be a current smoker or have quit within the past 15 years.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Have a smoking history of 20 pack-years (equivalent to smoking one pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years or two packs a day for 10 years).&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Routine lung cancer screening is not currently recommended for people who have never smoked. However, anyone experiencing concerning symptoms should speak with their health care professional, regardless of smoking history.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFinding lung cancer early can make a significant difference in treatment options and outcomes,\u201d Dr. Shersher says. \u201cIf you have a history of smoking, ask your doctor whether screening is appropriate. And whether you&#8217;ve smoked or not, don&#8217;t ignore symptoms that aren&#8217;t going away.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take Charge of Your Lung Health&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can&#8217;t control every risk factor for lung cancer, but even if you are not a candidate for lung cancer screening, you can take steps to reduce your risk. Avoid tobacco products, limit exposure to secondhand smoke, test your home for radon, and pay attention to changes in your health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about lung cancer screening or connect with a specialist at MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper, call <a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.8.COOPER<\/a> (<a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.826.6737<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p><a name=\"espanol\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfNunca has fumado?

Evite los productos de tabaco, limite la exposici\u00f3n al humo de segunda mano, realice una prueba de detecci\u00f3n de rad\u00f3n en su hogar y preste atenci\u00f3n a cualquier cambio en su salud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Para obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre las pruebas de detecci\u00f3n de c\u00e1ncer de pulm\u00f3n o para ponerse en contacto con un especialista de MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper, llame al <a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.8.COOPER<\/a> (<a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.826.6737<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When most people think about lung cancer, they think about smoking.
