WCLC 2024 | Addressing the impact of air pollution on lung cancer mortality
Chinmay Jani, MBBS, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, Doral, FL, highlights findings from a study examining air pollution-induced lung cancer mortality in ten countries. The study reveals that six out of ten countries saw an increase in lung cancer mortality due to particulate matter for both males and females. There is a need for healthcare policies to shift focus beyond tobacco-related lung cancer and prioritize reducing air pollution. Global efforts are needed to decrease particulate matter in the environment, which could significantly lower lung cancer mortality rates. This interview took place at the 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) in San Diego, CA.
