First study to find association between lung cancer and poor diet - When scientists fed mice a high-fat, high-fructose “Western diet” that supported more glycogen in the blood, lung tumors grew. When glycogen levels decreased, tumor growth decreased too.

CRISPR breakthrough reverses chemotherapy resistance in lung cancer 💉🧬✨. In a major step forward for cancer care, researchers have shown that disabling the NRF2 gene with CRISPR technology can reverse chemotherapy resistance in lung cancer. The approach restores drug sensitivity and slows tumor growth.

Rare lung cancers can "change identity" to evade treatment, according to a spatial genomics study. Researchers found these tumors evolve from a single cell into hybrid states and create immune-shielded zones, suggesting the disease is widely underdiagnosed.

Wang et al. map combined small-cell lung cancer (cSCLC) with spatial multi-omics,
showing that mixed histologies arise from a single clone that diversifies through
neuroendocrine plasticity and stromal partitioning. The resulting niche map highlights

A 2026 prospective cohort study of over 276,000 adults found that moderate daily consumption of tea (2-3 cups) is associated with a 33% lower risk of developing lung cancer, while coffee (2-3 cups) is linked to a 23% lower risk.

Association of coffee and tea consumption with the risk of lung cancer: a prospective cohort study from the UK Biobank
The evidence of relationships between tea and coffee consumption with lung cancer risk remains inconsistent, with few prospective studies exploring dose-response relationships. This prospective cohort study included 276,209 participants recruited ...

☕ A large UK study (276,209 participants, 13.26-year follow-up) found that moderate coffee and tea consumption is linked to a lower risk of lung cancer.
📈 Individuals drinking 0.5–1 cup of coffee daily had a 28% lower risk, and 2–3 cups had a 23% lower risk, compared to non-coffee drinkers.
🍵 Those who drank 0.5–1 cup of tea had a 20% lower risk, 2–3 cups had a 33% lower risk, and ≥4 cups had a 14% lower risk, compared to non-tea drinkers.
⚠️ Note: The study observed non-linear associations, with 1-2 cups of coffee/day or 2-4 cups of tea/day linked to the lowest risk. Consuming ≥4 cups of coffee daily did not show a reduced risk.

Plasma signals of lung tumor promotion for molecular cancer prevention
A 14-protein plasma signature identifies individuals benefiting from anti-IL-1β-based
lung cancer risk reduction and demonstrates how diverse tumor-promoting factors converge
on the induction of an alveolar transitional state that underlies lung tumorigenesis.

🚬 New research published in Science suggests an inherited genetic mutation, specifically in the EGFR gene, could explain some cases of lung cancer in non-smokers.
🔬 The EGFR T790M mutation, found in about 1 in 15,000 people in the U.S., increases the risk of lung cancer by 25-fold for carriers, and 60-fold for non-smokers compared to non-carriers.
🧬 This discovery opens doors for genetic testing and personalized lung cancer screening for individuals with this mutation, potentially leading to earlier detection and better treatment outcomes, similar to BRCA testing for breast cancer.
