Lung cancer is increasingly affecting non-smokers and young people in India. Environmental pollution and occupational exposures are significant contributing factors to this trend. Indoor air pollution also plays a role, particularly for women spending more time at home. Genetic mutations are identified as another cause, possibly triggered by lifestyle factors. Early symptoms are often overlooked, leading to delayed diagnosis and advanced disease stages.
