Verbatim
“We believe that individuals at high risk of lung cancer, such as smokers, may need to pay greater attention to early detection of lung cancer following a prior severe infection.”
“A bad case of Covid or flu can leave the lungs in a long-lasting 'inflamed' state that makes it easier for cancer to take hold later”
“The team found that lung tissues in these people have significantly elevated interferon levels, which dysregulate lung macrophage peroxisomes that neutralize oxidants and support mitochondrial health.”
