IntroductionInherited susceptibility to lung cancer risk in never-smokers is poorly understood. The major reason for this gap in knowledge is that this disease is relatively uncommon (except in Asians), making it difficult to assemble an adequate study sample. In this study we conducted a genome-wide association study on the largest, to date, set of European-descent never-smokers with lung cancer.MethodsWe conducted a two-phase (discovery and replication) genome-wide association study in never-smokers of European descent. We further augmented the sample by performing a meta-analysis with never-smokers from the recent OncoArray study, which resulted in a total of 3636 cases and 6295 controls. We also compare our findings with those in smokers with lung cancer.ResultsWe detected three genome-wide statistically significant single nucleotide polymorphisms rs31490 (odds ratio [OR]: 0.769, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.722-0.820; p value 5.31 × 10-16), rs380286 (OR: 0.770, 95% CI: 0.723-0.820; p value 4.32 × 10-16), and rs4975616 (OR: 0.778, 95% CI: 0.730-0.829; p value 1.04 × 10-14). All three mapped to Chromosome 5 CLPTM1L-TERT region, previously shown to be associated with lung cancer risk in smokers and in never-smoker Asian women, and risk of other cancers including breast, ovarian, colorectal, and prostate.ConclusionsWe found that genetic susceptibility to lung cancer in never-smokers is associated to genetic variants with pan-cancer risk effects. The comparison with smokers shows that top variants previously shown to be associated with lung cancer risk only confer risk in the presence of tobacco exposure, underscoring the importance of gene-environment interactions in the etiology of this disease.

- Abstract
Radon is a carcinogenic compound, and is particularly concerning in the education sector, where children and teachers may be exposed even longer than at home. Thus, this study intended to characterise radon in the indoor air of scholar environments in different provinces/districts of the Euroregion Galicia–Norte de Portugal. With a pioneering approach, this study evaluated the influence of specific factors/characteristics (location, type of management, construction material, season and floor within the building) and quantified their relative contribution to indoor radon levels. Radon was continuously monitored in 416 classrooms from school buildings located in urban and rural sites from different provinces/districts both in the regions of Galicia (A Coruña and Lugo provinces) and Portugal (Porto and Bragança districts), considering rooms for different age groups (from nursery schools to universities). Single and multivariate linear regression models were built considering the radon concentrations as the outcome variable and different room/building characteristics as predictor variables. Mean and median radon concentrations were 332 Bq·m−3 and 181 Bq·m−3, respectively. The radon concentrations observed are a public health concern, as almost 1/3 of the places monitored exceeded the reference limit value of the European legislation (300 Bq·m−3). Moreover, around 50 % of the indoor levels measured could be attributed to room/building characteristics: the building's location and the main construction material, as well as the occupants' age group, the floor within the building and the school's type of management (public/private). This study concluded that radon testing is needed in all school buildings and classrooms without exceptions. Thus, public administrations are urged to dedicate funds for testing, mitigation and public dissemination initiatives in schools. A special protocol for radon sampling in school buildings should also be developed

Introduction The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between exposure to residential radon and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by means of a systematic review. Material and Methods A search was conducted in PubMed and OVID for papers making reference to the radon–COPD relationship. No search filters were applied, whether by date of publication, study type or sample size. All studies not written in English or Spanish were discarded. Results A total of 174 and 57 papers were found in PubMed and OVID, respectively: of these, 13 (11 on miners and 2 on the general population) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Only four of the studies on cohorts of miners analysed COPD as a specific disease, and only one reported statistically significant results. In addition, many of these studies lacked information on tobacco use among miners. In contrast, studies conducted on the general public showed an association between mortality and hospital admissions, on the one hand, and residential radon on the other. Conclusion There are not enough studies to provide a basis for confirming or ruling out an association between radon exposure and COPD. Nonetheless, the most recent general population studies point to evidence of a possible association. In view of the heterogeneity of available studies, it is impossible to say whether this gas may or may not affect COPD morbidity and mortality, until such a time as further studies are carried out.

- Abstract
El objetivo principal de esta tesis es determinar el rol que el consumo de alcohol, frutas y verduras tienen en el desarrollo de CP en nunca fumadores. Se utilizó una muestra poblacional derivada de la agrupación de estudios multicéntricos de casos y controles. Los resultados se ajustaron por edad, sexo, nivel de estudios, tabaquismo pasivo y radón en domicilio. Resultados: a) el consumo de vino y bebidas espirituosas son un factor de riesgo para el CP con unas OR de 2.20 (IC 95%: 1.12 -4.35) y 1.90 (IC 95%: 1.13 -3.23) respectivamente, b) hay efecto protector para el consumo de naranjas (OR 0.55; 95%IC: 0.37-0.80), kiwis (OR 0.67; 95%IC: 0.46-0.95), nabos (OR 0.48; 95%IC: 0.34-0.66), berza gallega (OR 0.70; 95%IC: 0.51-0.97) y brócoli (OR 0.55; 95%IC: 0.35-0.83), c) la ingesta de tomates, zanahorias y patatas suponen un factor de riesgo con OR e IC de 1.95 (IC 95%: 1.20-3.20), 1.75 (IC 95%: 1.01-3.04) y 1.84 (IC95%: 1.11-3.08), respectivamente.

- Abstract
Lung cancer has the highest cancer mortality rate in developed countries. The principal risk factor for lung cancer is tobacco use, with residential radon being the leading risk factor among never smokers and the second among ever smokers. We sought to estimate mortality attributable to residential radon exposure in Spain and its Autonomous Regions, with correction for dwelling height and differentiation by tobacco use. We applied a prevalence-based method for estimating attributable mortality. For estimations, we considered exposure to radon in the different Autonomous Regions corrected for dwelling height, using the National Statistics Institute Housing Census and prevalence of tobacco use (never smokers, smokers and ex-smokers). The results showed that 3.8% (838 deaths) of lung cancer mortality was attributable to radon exposure of over 100 Bq/m3, a figure that rises to 6.9% (1,533 deaths) when correction for dwelling height is not performed. By Autonomous Region, the highest population attributable fractions, corrected for dwelling height, were obtained for Galicia, Extremadura, and the Canary Islands, where 7.0, 6.9, and 5.5% of lung cancer mortality was respectively attributable to radon exposure. The greatest part of the attributable mortality occurred in men and among smokers and ex-smokers. Residential radon exposure is a major contributor to lung cancer mortality, though this contribution is highly variable among the different territories, indicating the need for targeted prevention policies. Correction of estimates for dwelling height is fundamental for providing reliable estimates of radon-attributable mortality

- Abstract
El cáncer de pulmón es un grave problema para la salud pública, debido a su elevada mortalidad. Uno de sus tipos es el cáncer de célula pequeña (CPCP), que significa en torno al 10-15% de todos los casos. Es el tipo histológico más letal. El principal factor de riesgo es el tabaco, pero existen pocas investigaciones sobre el efecto del radón en el cáncer de pulmón de célula pequeña. Debido a su relativa baja frecuencia, no hay muchas investigaciones sobre la etiología del CPCP y su asociación directa con elevadas concentraciones de radón residencial no ha sido estudiada en profundidad. Esta investigación pretende analizar el posible vínculo etiológico entre la concentración de radón residencial y el desarrollo de CPCP. Para ello se diseñó un estudio multicéntrico de casos y controles de base hospitalaria, en el que participaron 9 centros hospitalarios del norte de España y Portugal, en el que se incluyeron casos diagnosticados de CPCP entre septiembre de 2015 y agosto de 2019. Se analizó el riesgo de CPCP en relación con la concentración de radón en el domicilio y la posible sinergia entre radón y consumo de tabaco. El resultado más relevante es la demostración de que existe una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre los sujetos expuestos a concentraciones de radón superiores a los niveles recomendados por la Agencia de Protección Ambiental Norteamericana (148 Bq/m3) con una Odds Ratio de 2.08 (IC 95%: 1.03 - 4.39) frente a aquellos con concentraciones de radón residencial inferiores a 50 Bq/m3. Una modelización adicional indica que la relación existente entre radón y CPCP puede asumirse como lineal. Existe además una sinergia cercana a la significación estadística con el consumo de tabaco.

- Abstract
El cáncer de pulmón (CP) en nunca fumadores es una entidad clínica distinta. Es más frecuente en mujeres, en estadio avanzado, con presencia de mutaciones y si su histología es adenocarcinoma. No parece existir relación entre la exposición a radón y las características al diagnóstico aunque se sugiere cierta relación entre concentraciones elevadas (> 1.000 Bq/m3) y el CP de célula pequeña en estadio extenso. La supervivencia del CP descrita en la literatura para los nunca fumadores parece mayor que la de los fumadores. Los datos de esta tesis parecen confirman la mayor supervivencia de los pacientes nunca fumadores. La supervivencia mediana de los nunca fumadores fue mayor en los pacientes de menor edad, con adenocarcinoma, presencia de mutaciones en genes diana y estadio al diagnóstico más precoz. Los casos con exposición a concentraciones de radón residencial superiores a 300 Bq/m3 obtuvieron una peor supervivencia a 3 y 5 años del diagnóstico. Por otro lado, la supervivencia a 5 años del diagnóstico de los pacientes con CP no parece estar influida por polimorfismos en genes que participan en las vías de reparación del ADN, excepto para el grupo de pacientes que reciben radioterapia o quimio-radioterapia y presentan la mutación ERCC1 rs3212986. En aquellos casos que reciben estos tratamientos se observa una mayor toxicidad ante la presencia de mutaciones en los genes OGG1 rs1052133 (CG) y ERCC1 rs11615.

- Abstract
Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless noble gas, causally related with the onset of lung cancer. We aimed to describe the distribution of radon exposure in the municipality of Manizales, Colombia, in order to estimate the population’s exposure and establish the percentage of dwellings that surpass reference levels. A cross-sectional study representing all geographical areas was carried out by measuring indoor radon concentrations. Participants answered a short questionnaire. Alpha-track type radon detectors were installed in all residences for six months. The detectors were subsequently processed at the Galician Radon Laboratory, an accredited laboratory at the University of Santiago de Compostela. A total of 202 homes were measured. Seventy-seven percent of the sampled houses were three stories high, their median age was 30 years, and half were inhabited by three people or fewer. For most dwellings, the building materials of walls and flooring were brick and covered cement, respectively. Results showed a geometric mean of radon concentration of 8.5 Bq/m3 and a maximum value of 50 Bq/m3. No statistically significant differences were found either between the geometric mean of the dwelling’s site, the height at which detectors were placed inside the home, or the wall and flooring materials, or between mean 222Rn concentrations in rural and urban areas. No dwelling surpassed the 222Rn reference level established by the WHO. This study shows that residential radon levels in Manizales, Colombia, seem to be low, though a more in-depth approach should be carried out. Despite these results, it is essential to create a national radon program and establish a radon concentration reference level for Colombia in line with international recommendations

Objective : To explore whether there is a possible problem regarding indoor radon concentration surpassing the new European Directive 2013/59/Euratom threshold in Spanish workplaces. We also aim to find out whether radon concentration might be associated with certain characteristics of workplaces. Method : We performed a cross-sectional study to measure indoor radon concentrations in Spanish workplaces including five different sectors (education, public administration, the health sector, the tourist sector and the private sector). To be measured, the workplace should be occupied permanently by at least one worker. Alpha-track type radon detectors were placed for at least three months and read at the Galician Radon Laboratory at the University of Santiago de Compostela. A descriptive analysis was performed on radon distribution by sector, building characteristics and number of workers affected. Results : We faced enormous difficulties in finding volunteers for this study. Galicia and Madrid had the highest number of measurements. Of a total of 248 measurements, 27% had concentrations above 300 Bq/m3. Median radon concentration was 251 Bq/m3 in Galicia, followed by Madrid, with 61.5 Bq/m3. Forty-six percent of the workplaces measured in Galicia had radon concentrations higher than 300 Bq/m3 followed by 10.6% in Madrid. Nineteen percent of all workers were exposed to more than 300 Bq/m3 and 6.3% were exposed to radon concentrations higher than 500 Bq/m3. Conclusion : Indoor radon exposure might be a relevant problem in Spanish workplaces and the number of affected workers could be high. The prevalence of workers exposed to high radon concentrations probably depends on the geographical area. Objetivo: Explorar si podría existir un problema en cuanto a la concentración de radón en los puestos de trabajo en España por superación del umbral propuesto por la nueva Directiva Europea 2013/59/Euratom. También se pretende conocer si la concentración de radón puede estar asociada a las características de los puestos de trabajo. Método: Estudio transversal en seis regiones y diferentes sectores (educación, administración pública, sanitario, turístico y privado). El puesto de trabajo medido debía ser ocupado de manera permanente por al menos un trabajador. Los detectores de radón de tipo alfa-track estuvieron colocados al menos 3 meses y fueron revelados en el Laboratorio de Radón de Galicia, de la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de la concentración de radón por sector, por características de los edificios y por número de trabajadores afectados. Resultados: Hubo dificultades para encontrar voluntarios para este estudio. Galicia y Madrid tuvieron el mayor número de mediciones. Se midieron 248 lugares de trabajo, con el 27% por encima de los 300 Bq/m3. La concentración mediana fue de 251 Bq/m3 en Galicia, seguida de Madrid con 61,5 Bq/m3. El 46% de los puestos de trabajo en Galicia tenían concentraciones mayores de 300 Bq/m3, y el 10,6% en Madrid. El 19% de los trabajadores estuvieron expuestos a más de 300 Bq/m3 y el 6,3% a más de 500 Bq/m3. Conclusión: La exposición a radón podría ser un problema de salud relevante en los lugares de trabajo en España. El número de trabajadores expuestos parece elevado. La prevalencia de trabajadores afectados depende del área geográfica.

- Abstract
Objetivo: Revisar la evidencia publicada entre la exposición al radón y las enfermedades neurodegenerativas, a través de una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica. Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en las siguientes bases de datos: Pubmed (Medline), Cochrane, BioMedCentral y Web of Science. Para la recopilación de información, se utilizó una estrategia predeterminada de búsqueda, basada en el empleo de varias combinaciones de términos. Tras la búsqueda inicial, se obtuvieron 77 artículos, de los cuales solo cumplieron criterios de inclusión 10. De estos 10, 5 estaban relacionados con la Esclerosis Múltiple (EM); 2 con las Enfermedades de Motoneuronas (EMN), concretamente Esclerosis Lateral Amiotrófica (ELA) y 3 con la Enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) y la Enfermedad de Parkinson (EP). Resultados: La mayoría de los estudios incluidos sugieren una posible asociación entre la exposición a radón y el posterior desarrollo de enfermedades neurodegenerativas. Entre los estudios que han mostrado significación estadística, estos sugieren que la exposición a radón podría aumentar la prevalencia de EM, la mortalidad por EMN y/o la mortalidad por EA. Además, relacionado con la EA y la EP, se observó que ciertos productos de descomposición del Rn222, concretamente Po210 y Bi210, presentan un patrón de distribución característico dentro de la anatomía cerebral. Sin embargo, el estudio de mayor evidencia científica incluido en esta revisión, reveló resultados no significativos al estudiar la asociación entre las concentraciones de gas radón en las viviendas y la incidencia de EM. Conclusiones: No puede concluirse que exista, si bien, sí se observa una asociación causal entre la exposición al radón y las enfermedades neurodegenerativas. Los estudios disponibles son en su mayoría estudios ecológicos, por lo que se necesitarían estudios de mayor evidencia estadística para poder establecer una relación causal. Es necesaria más investigación sobre este tema., Obxectivo: Revisar a evidencia publicada entre a exposición a radón e as enfermidades neurodexenerativas, a través dunha revisión sistemática da literatura científica. Métodos: Realizouse unha búsqueda bibliográfica nas seguintes bases de datos: Pubmed (Medline), Cochrane, BioMedCentral y Web of Science. Para a recopilación de información, levouse a cabo unha estratexia predeterminada de búsqueda, baseada no emprego de varias combinacións de términos. Trala búsqueda inicial, obtivéronse un total de 77 artigos, dos cales só cumpriron criterios de inclusión 10. Destes 10, 5 estaban relacionados coa esclerose múltiple (EM), 2 coas enfermidades de motoneuronas (EMN), concretamente esclerose lateral amiotrófica (ELA) e 3 coa enfermidade de alzheimer (EA) e a enfermidade de parkinson (EP). Resultados: A maioría dos estudos incluidos, suxiren unha posible asociación entre a exposición a radón e o posterior desenvolvemento de enfermidades neurodexenerativas. Dentro dos resultados que foron significativos estadísticamente, estes suxiren unha posible asociación entre a exposición ó radón e a prevalencia de EM. Ademáis, tamén se suxire que a exposición ó radón aumenta a mortalidade por EMN e por EA. Relativo á EA e á EP, observouse que certos productos de descomposición do Rn222, concretamente Po210 y Bi210, presentan un patrón de distribución característico dentro da anatomía cerebral. Porén, o estudo de maior evidencia científica incluido nesta revisión, o cal estudaba a asociación entre as concentracións de gas radón nas vivendas e a incidencia de EM, revelou resultados no significativos Conclusións: Non pode concluirse que exista, aínda que sí que se observa, unha posible asociación causal entre a exposición ó radón e as enfermidades neurodexenerativas. Os estudos dispoñibles son na súa maioría estudos ecolóxicos, polo que se necesitarían estudos de maior evidencia estadística para poder establecer unha relación causal. É necesaria más investigación sobre este tema., Objective: Review the published evidence between radon exposure and neurodegenerative diseases, through a systematic review of scientific literature. Methods: We performed a bibliographic search in the following databases: Pubmed (Medline), Cochrane, BioMedCentral and Web of Science. For gathering information, it was carried out a predetermined search strategy, based on several combinations of terms. After an initial search, 77 articles were obtained, fulfilling inclusion criteria only 10. About these 10 articles, 5 were related to multiple sclerosis (MS), 2 were about motor neuron diseases (MND), in particular amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and 3 were related to both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Results: The majority of the included articles, suggest a possible association between radon exposure and a subsequent development of neurodegenerative diseases. Among the studies which obtained statistical significant results, some of them suggest a possible association between radon exposure and an increase in the MS prevalence. Furthermore, it is also suggested that radon exposure increases EMN and EA mortality. Relative to EA and EP, it was observed that certain decay products of Rn222, specifically Po210 and Bi210, present a characteristic distribution pattern within the brain anatomy. However, the study with the highest scientific evidence included in this review, which investigated about a possible association between the concentrations of radon gas at houses and the incidence of MS, revealed no significant results. Conclusions: It can not be concluded that there is, although it is observed, a possible causal association between radon exposure and neurodegenerative diseases. Most of the available studies are ecological so, it would be necessary studies of higher statistical evidence to establish a causal relationship. More research is needed on this topic.

- Abstract
Introducción: La incidencia de los tumores del sistema nervioso central sigue una tendencia ascendente en los últimos años, siendo ya la segunda causa de tumores en la infancia, detrás de la leucemia. A raíz de observar un incremento del riesgo de estos tumores en agricultores, se comenzó a investigar los pesticidas como posibles factores etiológicos. Sin embargo, en un primer momento los estudios arrojaron resultados no concluyentes y con numerosas limitaciones para evaluar la exposición a pesticidas. Objetivos: Determinar la relación existente entre la exposición a pesticidas y los tumores del sistema nervioso central, según los resultados de los estudios publicados en los últimos 20 años. Métodos: Realizamos una extensa búsqueda bibliográfica en tres bases de datos, PubMed, BVS y Chochrane Library, con la que se obtuvieron 62 resultados. Tras un proceso de selección, y añadiendo 3 artículos que encontramos al revisar la bibliografía de los estudios, contamos finalmente con 28 artículos. Resultados y discusión: La mayoría de los estudios sobre tumores infantiles sugieren un aumento del riesgo con la exposición a pesticidas, mientras que en los adultos los resultados no son concluyentes, debido a la disparidad existente. Parece que el período más vulnerable es el prenatal, debido a la exposición parental a pesticidas. No observamos patrones claros en los resultados según los diferentes subtipos tumorales. No existen suficientes estudios que analicen de forma separada los diferentes tipos de pesticidas. Conclusiones: Debido a las diversas limitaciones de los estudios para realizar la medición de la exposición a pesticidas, son necesarias más investigaciones al respecto para poder obtener una conclusión firme sobre el efecto de estas sustancias en la carcinogénesis del sistema nervioso central.

- Abstract
El año de vida ajustado por calidad (AVAC) sintetiza en una sola variable las dos dimensiones más importantes de la salud: la longitud y la calidad de vida, siendo la medida más solicitada por las agencias de evaluación de tecnologías sanitarias en sus análisis. En un contexto en el que la mayoría de los países más ricos precisan del desembolso de grandes cantidades de dinero para la obtención de unos resultados cada vez más limitados, fijar umbrales de coste-efectividad incremental, es decir, establecer una disposición máxima a pagar por AVAC, se antoja como una posible herramienta para asistir en la toma de decisiones sobre salud, así como para realizar una asignación de recursos eficiente. En esta dirección, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) recomienda ajustar dicho umbral de costeefectividad incremental a la riqueza de cada país; concretamente, situándolo entre 1 y 3 veces el PIB per cápita del mismo. En este trabajo, hemos recopilado en cuánto se cifra el coste monetario del AVAC para 23 países de nuestro entorno socioeconómico, pudiendo comprobar su consistencia, en términos generales, con la recomendación de la OMS. Asimismo, también hemos podido apreciar diferencias entre los distintos modelos sanitarios, observándose umbrales inferiores en los países de modelo Beveridge con respecto a los de tipo Bismarck., The quality-adjusted life year (QALY) summarises in a single variable the two most important dimensions of health: length and quality of life, being the most requested measure by health technology assessment agencies in their analyses. In a context in which the majority of the richest countries require the disbursement of large amounts of money to obtain increasingly limited results, setting incremental cost-effectiveness thresholds, that is, establishing a maximum willingness to pay for QALY, appears as a possible tool to assist in decision-making about health, as well as to make an efficient allocation of resources. In this direction, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends adjusting aforementioned incremental costeffectiveness threshold to the wealth of each country; specifically, placing it between 1 and 3 times its GDP per capita. In this work, we have compiled how much the monetary cost of QALY is calculated for 23 countries in our socioeconomic environment, and we can check its consistency, in general terms, with the WHO recommendation. Likewise, we have also been able to see differences between the different health models, with lower thresholds being observed in the Beveridge model countries compared to the Bismarck type ones., O ano de vida axustado por calidade (AVAC) sintetiza nunha soa variable as dúas dimensións máis importantes da saúde: a lonxitude e a calidade de vida, sendo a medida máis solicitada polas axencias de avaliación de tecnoloxías sanitarias nas súas análises. Nun contexto no que a maioría dos países máis ricos precisan do desembolso de grandes cantidades de diñeiro para a obtención duns resultados cada vez máis limitados, fixar limiares de custo-efectividade incremental, é dicir, establecer una disposición máxima a pagar por AVAC, amósase como una posible ferramenta para asistir na toma de decisións sobre saúde, así como para realizar una asignación de recursos eficiente. Nesta dirección, a Organización Mundial da Saúde (OMS) recomenda axustar devandito limiar de custo-efectividade incremental á riqueza de cada país; concretamente, situándoo entre 1 e 3 veces o PIB per cápita do mesmo. Neste traballo, recompilamos en canto se cifra o custo monetario do AVAC para 23 países do noso entorno socioeconómico, podendo comprobar a súa consistencia, en termos xerais, coa recomendación da OMS. Do mesmo xeito, tamén puidemos apreciar diferenzas entre os distintos modelos sanitarios, observándose limiares inferiores nos países de modelo Beveridge con respecto aos de tipo Bismarck.

The etiology of lung cancer in never smokers is partly unknown. We aimed to assess the effect of fruits and vegetables consumption on lung cancer risk in never smokers. We pooled five multicenter case-control studies performed in Northwestern Spain. Cases and controls were all never smokers. All lung cancer cases had anatomopathological confirmed diagnoses. We performed a multivariate logistic regression to analyze the effect of different types of fruits and vegetables consumption on lung cancer risk. A total of 438 cases and 781 controls were included. We observed that a consumption from one to six times per week shows a negative association with lung cancer risk for: kiwis (OR 0.67; 95%CI 0.46-0.95), oranges (OR 0.55; 95%CI 0.37-0.80), turnip tops (OR 0.48; 95%CI 0.34-0.66), "berza gallega" (OR 0.70; 95%CI 0.51-0.97) and broccoli (OR 0.55; 95%CI 0.35-0.83) compared to less than once a week consumption. On the other hand, we found an increased risk for lung cancer with a daily consumption of tomatoes, carrots and potatoes. Oranges, kiwis, turnip tops, berza gallega and broccoli may play a protective role on lung cancer development in never smokers while tomatoes, carrots and potatoes might have some association with this disease.
