"Lung cancer has not traditionally been thought of as a dietary-related disease," says Sun. "Diseases like pancreatic cancer or liver cancer, yes. However, when it comes to lung cancer, the idea that diet could play a role is rarely discussed."

Thank you.

Cancer is a kind of dice roll and there's things that affect your odds.

They'll naturally be affected by things like blood and body chemistry just like any other organ.
