    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_ship_pollution_in...

    Sulfur oxide (SO x) emissions form sulphate (SO 4) aerosols that contribute to health risks in humans. SO x, fine particles (PM 2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NO x) cause premature death by various means such as lung cancer, throat cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular diseases, and morbidity such as childhood asthma.

  3. Pancoast tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancoast_tumor

    The Pancoast tumor was first described by Hare in 1838 as a "tumor involving certain nerves". [2] It was not until 1924 that the tumor was described in further detail, when Henry Pancoast, a radiologist from Philadelphia, published an article in which he reported and studied many cases of apical chest tumors that all shared the same radiographic findings and associated clinical symptoms, such ...

  4. Lung cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_cancer

    Close family members of those with lung cancer have around twice the risk of developing lung cancer as an average person, even after controlling for occupational exposure and smoking habits. [78] Genome-wide association studies have identified many gene variants associated with lung cancer risk, each of which contributes a small risk increase. [79]

    However, an increased risk of developing mesothelioma was later found among naval personnel (e.g., Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard), shipyard workers, people who work in asbestos mines and mills, producers of asbestos products, workers in the heating and construction industries, and other tradespeople.

    Genetics can also play a role as a family history of lung cancer can contribute to an increased risk of developing the disease. [1] Furthermore, research has revealed specific chromosome regions associated with increased risks of developing lung cancer. [1] In general, DNA damage appears to be the primary underlying cause of cancer. [19]

  9. Lung cancer susceptibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_cancer_susceptibility

    Lung cancer susceptibility tests suggest the probability or susceptibility an individual may have of getting lung cancer. Lung cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in the lung tissue. If left untreated, this growth can spread beyond the lungs in a process called metastasis, into nearby tissues or other parts of the body.
