POPE LEO’s LUNG CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED IT

POPE LEO’s LUNG CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED IT

Pope Leo never smoked, never had medical problems, and is active.  We know that 17% of all lung cancers we see are in people who never smoked but who inhaled second-hand smoke between the ages of 3 and 15 years old.  I don’t know if he had this exposure.

His brother has multiple myeloma.

One common denominator for both lung cancer and multiple myeloma is RADON exposure.
