Risk of lung cancer is much less in people living at higher altitudes, in both smokers and non-smokers, suggesting that oxygen may promote the incidence of lung cancer, reveals a new study.
Controlling for smoking, education, and numerous other variables associated with higher rates of cancer, a new study co-authored by a student at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, has found that for every 1,000-meter rise in elevation, lung cancer incidence in the population living in that area decreased by 7....
