Most people know that smoking is the #1 cause of lung cancer — but very few people know what the second leading cause is.
In this episode of Talking With Docs, the doctors are joined by Dr. Chau to break down the surprising truth about radon gas — an invisible, odorless gas that can build up inside homes and increase the risk of lung cancer, even in people who have never smoked. Because you can’t see it, smell it, or taste it, many people are exposed without even knowing it. In this discussion, the doctors explain where radon comes from, why it can accumulate inside houses, how it damages lung tissue, and how simple home testing can help detect it. You’ll learn: If you’ve never tested your home for radon or wondered how environmental factors affect lung cancer risk, this episode explains the science and what you can do to protect your health.
