[83] They identified cannabis smoke as a carcinogen and also said awareness of the danger was low compared with the high awareness of the dangers of smoking tobacco particularly among ...

The relationship between smoking cocaine and developing lung cancer has not been studied as of ...
Patients with lung cancer resulting from air pollution (occupational or cigarette smoking-related) are more likely to have other lung disorders such as COPD, which limit their respiratory reserve. Patients with limited respiratory reserve are at higher risk for postoperative complications should surgical treatment be pursued; they may not be ...
The prognosis for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can depend on several factors, including the stage of your disease. Survival rates also vary.
