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.
