When Sherry Haines was in her 40s, lung cancer was a diagnosis she never imagined she would face.

She wasn't at high risk and had never smoked.

A recent study published in JAMA highlights a rise in lung cancer among nonsmoking individuals, accounting for 15% to 20% of all lung cancer cases.

Although the underlying reason for the uptick remains unknown, Moffitt's Lary Robinson, MD, says causes could include genetic mutations and exposure to air pollution, secondhand smoke and radon.

Moffitt's Jhanelle Gray, MD says today’s lung cancer screening guidelines miss many high-risk patients, highlighting the need for expanded criteria backed by stronger research.

Researchers at Northwestern Medicine found that 65% of their lung cancer patients weren't eligible for screening. They were likelier to be female, Asian American or nonsmokers.
