Lung cancer is no longer just a disease of smokers

Kfrom Ouvola Susanna Nurmilauka didn’t think he was a person who could get lung cancer.

He had indeed smoked cigarettes sometime in the 1990s and had been exposed to secondhand smoke while working in a restaurant. But it was a long time ago.

In 2022, he was 55 years old and had just landed his dream job as a project manager. He had had a melanoma lesion on his cheek the size of a fingertip, but it had been removed by surgery. Everything seemed to be fine.
