The aim of this study was to assess if residential radon exposure might cause EGFR mutations
or ALK rearrangements in never-smokers. We designed a multicentre case–control study …

Our aim was to describe the characteristics of a case-series of never-smoker small cell lung
cancer (SCLC) cases. Cases of SCLC were selected from a prospective, multicenter, hospital…

Background Never-smokers comprise up to 25% of all lung cancer cases. They could have
different molecular pathways for lung cancer induction compared with smokers. Alpha-1 …

Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess if there is a relationship between residential radon
and lung cancer histological types and patients’ age at diagnosis. Materials and methods: …

Background Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer in developed countries but the etiology of
lung cancer risk in never smokers (LCRINS) is largely unknown. We aim to assess the effects …

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure is a main risk factor of lung cancer in never
smokers. Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutations and ALK translocations are …

Introduction Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most aggressive histologic type of lung
cancer, and accounts for approximately 10%–15% of all cases. Few studies have analyzed the …

An increasing number of silicosis cases have been reported related to the use of silica
agglomerates. Many studies agree on the severity of this disease, which often presents with …

Introducción El cáncer de pulmón de célula pequeña (CPCP) es el tipo histológico más
agresivo de las neoplasias broncopulmonares. Representa en torno al 10-15% de todos los …

Background Mutations or translocations in driver genes of lung cancer such as EGFR or
ALK are important treatment targets for advanced lung cancer. These alterations are present …
