A member asked:
Is there a genetic link relating to adenocarcinoma of the lung?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rare: While some very rare genetic syndromes may increase the risk of developing long cancer, the vast majority of lung cancers occur in people without genetic cancer syndromes. While smoking clearly increases the risk of lung cancer, in many patients we can only attribute their development of cancer to bad luck.
