Lung cancer is a common cause of cancer mortality even in those who have never used tobacco. Taken alone, lung cancer in those who have never smoked (LCNS) is the seventh leading cause of cancer death in the United States. This seminar will explore how LCNS differs epidemiologically and molecularly from lung cancer associated with tobacco use. Speakers will unique risk factors, strategies to identify those at risk, and novel treatment approaches.

• Describe new findings on the genetic and epidemiologic underpinnings of cancer in those with no tobacco history
• Define new strategies for early detection of cancer in those with no tobacco smoking history
• Better counsel patients about risk factors for lung cancer beyond tobacco smoking
