incidence of radon-induced lung cancer but also in enhancing our overall understanding of cancer. These collective endeavors are essential in ensuring a future where the threat of radon is effectively managed and mitigated, safeguarding the health and well-being of populations worldwide. Despite its importance, radon is often left out of conversation when discussing lung cancer, but the need for funding and research to support research and increase awareness in these areas in crucial.
