For years, doctors have thought there was little they could do for lung cancer, but now with more sensitive scans, many are rethinking that view.
Indeed, research suggests that experiencing multiple childhood traumas gives approximately the same risk of developing psychosis as smoking does for developing lung cancer.
Experiencing multiple childhood traumas appears to give approximately the same risk of developing psychosis as smoking does for developing lung cancer [ 58]. (p. 42) A second reason is that the mental health system is underpinned by assumptions which give primacy to the genetic and biological and more recently to the psychological, to the neglect of social understandings of mental distress.

This was done for all lung cancer patients versus the healthy controls and for all lung cancers versus the other cancer types analyzed in this study combined (GI, prostate, and melanoma cancer) (Table 2).
Although the National Institute for Clinical Excellence NICEE) has produced guidance on when a chest radiograph should be done for putative lung cancer presentations, cancer will usually be only one of a number of possible diagnoses, so this is somewhat artificial.
" "… I suppose I was more aware of what I must do for my lungs.
And yes, I was able to sort of focus and to know what I needed to do for the lungs" (#4600, female, age 67, exsmoker, moderate COPD)" The experience of participating in telephone health-mentoring made participants reassess some of the activities of daily living which they had taken for granted, such as exercise, which in turn led to behaviour change.
The single best thing you can do for your lungs is to quit smoking or (better yet) never start.
The DVH analysis was done for liver and lung for each applicable site (Table 3 and Figure 8).
