n the UK, it is estimated that nearly 6000 people who have never smoked die of lung cancer every year – greater than the numbers of people who die of cervical cancer (∼900), lymphoma (∼5200), leukaemia (∼4500) and ovarian cancer (∼4200). While smoking remains the largest modifiable risk factor for lung cancer in the UK, accounting for 86% of lung cancers, if considered as a separate entity lung cancer in never-smokers is the eighth most common cause of cancer-related death in the UK and the seventh most prevalent cancer in the world.
