GPs are ‘missing lung cancer symptoms’ in non-smokers despite them making up one-in-seven victims

GPs are ‘missing lung cancer symptoms’ in non-smokers despite them making up one-in-seven victims Lung cancer is on the rise among non-smokers as experts warn that GPs are missing the symptoms.

Leading health officials said the issue received far too little attention – despite the fact 6,000 Britons who have never smoked die of lung cancer every year.

Smoking remains by far the biggest cause of lung cancer, but one in seven victims is a non-smoker, and scientists predict that within a decade, people who have never smoked will overtake smokers among lung cancer patients. The Daily Mail
