A member asked:
Smoking cannot be associated with what type of cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most of them: "prostate and colon, maybe breast, a bunch more." truth is, there are thousands of types of cancer. The relationship between lung, pancreatic, esophageal, oropharyngeal, kidney, and blader cancer and tobacco smoking is painfully obvious. For others results vary and the likelihood of confounding variables (i.e., smokers exercise less) will interfere with interpreting.
