Genetic Mutation Raises Lung Cancer Risk
A recent study analyzing data from over 3.3 million people has revealed that a rare mutation in the "EGFR" gene significantly increases the risk of lung cancer in non-smokers. It makes them up to 60 times more likely to develop the disease compared to those without the mutation. The findings of this study are expected to be used to improve screening protocols for at-risk individuals based on genetic factors in the future, especially since the mutation was first discovered in 2005 within a European family.
