A member asked:
Is there any link between breast cancer and lung cancer?
9 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Metastatic cancer: Breast cancer can spread to the lungs, but we still consider it breast cancer (we call it metastatic then). Other than that i don't know of a link with breast cancer and lung cancer (cancer that arose from the lung tissue).

No: There are occassional strikes of lightening twice in the same patient, but it is not due to a scientific link. Breast cancer has no ling to smoking or tobacco, and the link is very strong with lung cancer. We could stop 90% of lung cancer by cigarettes disappearing, but we don't have that fortune with breast cancer. Notice that cigarettes are still leader and many geniuses exercise their freedom.

Not a direct link: Breast cancer can spread to the lungs. Very rarely, lung cancer can spread to the breasts. Some lung cancers are estrogen or Progesterone receptor positive.
