Prospective descriptive analysis reveals risk factors and clinical profile in 68 never smokers with lung cancer.

Lung cancer in never smokers often presents with passive smoking exposure, particularly in women.
Adenocarcinoma is the most common type found, accounting for 75% of cases with a notable EGFR mutation rate of 34%.
Most patients were diagnosed at stage IV and received systemic treatment, achieving an overall survival rate of 15.4 months.
The study highlights non-tobacco-related risk factors associated with lung cancer, emphasizing the need for further research.

YOUNSI et al. (2025) studied this question.
