PP01.20 Huang - Abstract

Pdf Summary

A study assessed the risk of developing a second primary lung cancer (LC) in women who previously had breast cancer (BC). The research involved over 75,000 female participants from the PLCO screening trial, with 11.2% being BC survivors. The study found that BC survivors had a 28% increased risk of developing a second LC compared to non-BC survivors. Factors like age, education, smoking history, and BMI were considered in the analysis. The results suggest that BC survivors may benefit from personalized LC screening assessments. The study recommends further research to explore LC prevention strategies and optimal early detection methods for BC survivors.
