Doctors are grappling with a perplexing surge in lung cancer among vaccinated non-smokers, a group increasingly diagnosed with a distinct form of the disease unrelated to tobacco use. With smoking rates declining globally, experts are baffled by the rising proportion of cases—10 to 20% of diagnoses—occurring in individuals who have never smoked, prompting speculation about potential links to recent widespread vaccinations.

Lung cancer remains the most common cancer worldwide, with 2.5 million diagnoses and over 1.8 million deaths in 2022. While tobacco-related cases still dominate, the drop in smoking over decades has shifted attention to this emerging trend. The unique characteristics of lung cancer in non-smokers, coupled with its unexpected prevalence in vaccinated populations, have left researchers scrambling to identify the underlying causes, with no clear answers yet.
BBC.co.uk reports: Martha first realised that something was wrong when her cough changed and the mucus in her airways became increasingly viscous. Her doctors put it down to a rare disorder she had that caused her lungs to become chronically inflamed. “No worry, it must be that,” she was told.
When she finally had an X-ray, a shadow was detected on her lung. “That set the ball rolling,” Martha recalls. “First, a CT scan was done, then a bronchoscopy [a procedure that involves using a long tube to inspect the airways in a person’s lungs] to take tissue samples.” After the tumour was removed, about four months after she’d first reported symptoms to her GP, she received the diagnosis: Stage IIIA lung cancer. The tumour had infiltrated the surrounding lymph nodes but had not yet spread to distant organs. Martha was 59 years old.
“It was a total shock,” says Martha. Although she would occasionally light up a cigarette at a party, she never considered herself a smoker.
“Lung cancer in never-smokers is emerging as a separate disease entity with distinct molecular characteristics that directly impact treatment decisions and outcomes,” says Andreas Wicki, an oncologist at the University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland. While the average age at diagnosis is similar to that of smoking-related lung cancers, younger patients with lung cancer are more likely to have never smoked. “When we see 30- or 35-year-olds with lung cancer, they are usually never-smokers,” he says.
