Can residue from lithium cause cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubt it: Lithium is not a mutagen, or capable of damaging dna directly, like the things that genuinely cause cancer. A person with advanced renal disease due to lithium kidney toxicity would be at greater risk for kidney cancer.
