Air pollution is everywhere nowadays and I find it totally scary that the survival rates of those with lung cancer will be cut shorter. We really need to look for ways to reduce pollution all around. The effect of air pollution is not only felt in the environment, it also endangers humans. The death rate keep piling up too...

it's concerning that pollution can have such an impact on survival on lung cancer sufferers.although i don't find it all that surprising.It's just another reason among a long list of why we need to start living more cleanly as a whole.i suspect that air pollution does just as much damage to non-cancer sufferers  just that it's probably harder to tell.

I did not find the article to be particularly disturbing or alarming. I was not surprised by the fact that pollution adversely affected the health of individuals diagnosed with lung cancer. The health of their respiratory is already compromised and it makes perfect sense that pollution would act as an irritant and cause greater concern for their health.

I just read an article about how air pollution can shorten life expectancy for those diagnosed with lung cancer. I think that this fact is pretty much a given and shortens life expectancy for just about everyone involved in breathing toxic air. The article was quite impersonal and didn't inspire much empathy for anything except maybe the planet.
