Association Between Depression and Lung Cancer Risk Among Postmenopausal Women
This study identified a significant association between depression and lung cancer incidence, and smoking partially mediates this relationship. This highlights that managing depression may play a key role in reducing lung cancer risk and decreasing tobacco use. Psychological support should be integrated with traditional smoking cessation programs for lung cancer prevention.
