A Smoker's Lung Cancer Risk May Depend on Ethnicity


Looking at the differences in lung cancer occurrence, researchers have found that low-to-moderate smokers who are African American and Native Hawaiian have a greater risk of getting lung cancer than whites who smoke the same number of cigarettes. The study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, also showed that Japanese Americans and Latinos have the lowest risk of getting lung cancer from light cigarette smoking. However, all heavy smokers, defined as smoking 30 or more cigarettes a day, have an equal risk of lung cancer.
