Association between family history and lung cancer risk among Chinese women in Singapore.

Risk factors of lung cancer unrelated to smoking are not well-studied, especially among women. Family history has been shown to play a role in predisposing individuals to lung cancer, but this relationship has not been investigated in the Southeast Asian population. A total of 1159 women were recruited in a case-control study conducted in public hospitals in Singapore from 2005 to 2008.
