yes, a good friend of mine died in april from lung cancer, he was 27. Never smoked a day in his life, just a freak thing that happened to him. It is odd, but it can happen.
2 :
Anyone can have anything at anytime.
3 :
I know of an actve mountain-climbing girl who died of lung cancer and didn't even smoke
4 :
yes it is possible
5 :
Lung cancer is very rare unless its in the blood or inside the lungs. Of course its possible, but if you are reffering to smoking cigaretts probably not. A coal miner probably would not either, but you can grow tumors anywhere in your body I think
6 :
Yes you can have lung cancer at an early age. The doc said unlikely not that it doesn't happen./
7 :
It's unlikely, but it's certainly possible. Cancer is not always caused by environmental carcinogens, so even people who have not been exposed to harmful chemicals, toxins, or cancer-causing agents can have malignant tumors.
8 :
Yes, cancer does not discriminate against anyone.
9 :
Rare but possible
10 :
Although it is unlikely it is possible and there are documented case of this ...Most likely its not a genetic disposition, more than likely it will have something to do with exposure to carcinogens such as smog or cigarette smoke. Check the American Journal of Medicine
11 :
Yes it is definitely possible to have lung cancer and be younger than 30 years of age - I was 46 when I was diagnosed and I am a non smoker and there is a woman on my ACOR list who was diagnosed when she was 26 so unfortunately it happens more often than you think and a lot of time to non smokers.
