Does diet affect the risk of getting lung cancer?
A. This is still being investigated, but research to date has not found any link between diet and lung cancer. Q. Are there different types of lung cancer? A. There are four main types of lung cancer: small cell lung cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, large cell carcinoma and adenocarcinomA. Tobacco smoking is strongly linked to the first three but only weakly linked to adenocarcinomA. However, this type of lung cancer has been linked to the use of low-tar cigarettes.
