Nearly 20 percent of women and eight percent of men with lung cancer have never smoked, say researchers involved in a study of one million people in the United States and Sweden. The likely culprit in these lung cancer cases is secondhand smoke.

It's not yet clear why women are more likely to develop the disease. Perhaps they are more susceptible to all forms of smoking -- whether direct or secondhand -- or maybe because more men smoke than women, women are more likely to be exposed to secondhand smoke.

While smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, there are other factors to blame for disease incidence. Radon, asbestos, chromium, and arsenic are all associated with lung cancer.

According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer will be diagnosed in 213,000 Americans in 2007. The disease will kill 160,000.

After completing the Guns n' Roses European tour singer Axl Rose made a surprise visit to the Teenage Cancer Trust Ward at the University College Hospital in London. It is reported that he thrilled the teen cancer patients with his visit.

Teenage Cancer Trust Ward CEO Simon Davies is quoted as saying, "Axl spent time speaking with each of the patients individually asking about their diagnosis and treatment, and what they enjoyed doing when they were not in hospital. Speaking with patients after Axl's visit, I got a real sense of just how excited they were to have met him and how much it lifted their spirits."

The Teenage Cancer Trust provides services, education and support for the special age-related needs of teens diagnosed with cancer. The teen cancer charity hosts Teenage Cancer Trust Challenges such as the Roof of the World Trek - Tibet to Everest Base Camp and Trekking the Deserts and Dunes of Southern Morocco adventures as an escape and way to raise funds for the charity; The Teenage Cancer Trust Find Your Sense of Tumour weekend conferences; and the annual Teenage Cancer Trust week of rock shows at the Royal Albert Hall featuring great acts like The Who, Bloc Party and Razorlight.

UK newspapers are reporting a recall of chocolate and bagged snacks after it was found one of the ingredients contained potentially cancer-causing toxins. Three brands of products made with a rice flour were found to have aflatoxin B1 -- a naturally occurring  mold shown to cause cancer in animals -- at levels above the legal limit, according to the Food Standards Agency. Stated in the alert, the rice flour is thought to have originated in Pakistan and imported to the UK from Sweden. At this time, the products in question are Quaker Caribbean Chicken Seasons, Sainsbury's Chocolate and Toffee Crispie Bites and Smiths Bacon Fries. All companies that use rice flour in the manufacture of food product are being asked to voluntarily recall those products.
