Are People with Asthma at Increased Risk for Lung Cancer?
Some research indicates that individuals with asthma may have a slightly increased risk of lung cancer compared to those without asthma. This risk may be attributed to the chronic inflammation in the lungs, which can damage cells over time. However, the overall risk is still relatively low, and other factors such as smoking, environmental exposures, and genetic predispositions play a more significant role in lung cancer development.
