jcawork Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Does anyone have an article like this? For LC awarness month, next month. I would like to send an email to my email list which is extensive and ask everyone I send it to to forward it to their email list and each of them pass it forward. I specifically would like one that speaks about non smokers too because so many of my friends and collegues are amazed when I tell them non smokers get it too, genetics can play a role and that there are different kinds of LC some are more smoker induced, some are not. I can't believe how little everyone knows. Thanks in advance, Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calintay Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hi Jen - Sorry I do not have any info about the article but read that you wrote some types of cancer are "more smoker induced" just curious what types of LC are those? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcawork Posted October 16, 2005 Author Share Posted October 16, 2005 The literture states that small Cell tends to be far more smoking related (what I have). There are far less never having smoked patients w/ sclc. Andeo and Mesth, two NSCLC types tend have far more of the non smokers in those groups. My onco also told me this. BUT, I was also exposed to radon and asbestos, smoked and had asthma, so I think there have to some of these LC'c that are for multiple reasons, but they are not well defined.

Calintay Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Thank you so much. I had no idea about the different types that were primarily caused by different things. It is nice for me to become more educated regarding the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
