Introduction: Residential exposure is estimated to be responsible for nearly 10% of lung cancers in 2015 in France, making it the second leading cause, after tobacco. The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, in the southwest of France, is particularly affected by this exposure as 30% of the population lives in areas with medium or high radon potential. This study aimed to investigate the impact of radon exposure on the survival of lung cancer patients.

Methods: This monocentric study was conducted in the Comprehensive Cancer Centre Léon Bérard, Lyon, France. A systematic screening has been in place since 2014 for occupational exposure to carcinogens using a self-assessment questionnaire sent to all patients newly diagnosed with histologically confirmed LC identified through the multidisciplinary LC board from 2014 to 2019.

Article Synopsis
- Occupational lung cancer cases are often under-reported and under-compensated, prompting a study to improve detection and compensation through systematic screening of occupational exposures.
- A self-administered questionnaire was used to gather job history and exposure data from lung cancer patients, with physician assessments leading to specialized consultations for those with potential occupational links.
- The study found that out of 1251 patients surveyed, a significant portion attended consultations, revealing that many had been exposed to occupational lung carcinogens and subsequently received medical certificates and compensation, highlighting the effectiveness of this screening approach.
Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer significantly impacts women both physically and mentally, leading to long-lasting effects after diagnosis.
- A study involving 654 women in France examined the changes in treatment side effects and associated factors two and five years post-diagnosis, highlighting six main categories of ongoing issues.
- Findings revealed that while fatigue decreased over time, cognitive problems increased, indicating a need for improved patient care strategies to support women at risk for persistent sequelae.
