‘India Could See An Epidemic Of Lung Cancer From Air Pollution’ | IndiaSpend

Delhi-NCR’s air quality makes news every winter. How is the impact of polluted air showing up in the clinical setting? No organ system is spared from its harm once a pollutant enters the body, Arvind Kumar, thoracic surgeon and chairman of the lung transplant division at Medanta, explains. Air pollution is causing more cases of lung cancer–in younger people, women and non-smokers–typically presenting at advanced stages. This is being seen even in cities perceived to be less polluted. India could see an epidemic of lung cancer in the next two decades, he says in this video interview. IndiaSpend tells data-led, evidence-based stories in public interest.
