First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 18, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study aims to understand why some former smokers remain at higher risk for lung cancer years after quitting. Researchers will have 100 participants (former and never-smokers) inhale a harmless marker chemical called phenanthrene through a vape, then measure how their lungs process it. The goal is to see if former smokers break down this chemical through more harmful pathways, which could lead to better ways to prevent or treat lung cancer in the future.
