Nonsmokers can develop lung cancer, with radon gas, secondhand smoke, and family history identified as key risk factors. About 10% of annual lung cancer cases occur in nonsmokers, and radon testing and CT screening are recommended for those at higher risk.

Nonsmokers account for about 10% of annual lung cancer cases, with radon exposure, secondhand smoke, and family history identified as key risk factors. Radon, a radioactive gas found in homes, is the second-leading cause of lung cancer, and testing/reduction measures are recommended. CT screening is advised for high-risk individuals.

Nonsmokers can develop lung cancer, with about 10% of annual cases occurring in individuals who have never smoked. Radon, a radioactive gas, is the second-leading cause of lung cancer, and other risk factors include secondhand smoke and family history. Testing and professional mitigation can address radon exposure, while CT screening may help detect early-stage lung cancer in high-risk individuals.
