Lung Cancer: Looking Beyond Smoking as a Cause; Interview with John Moore, MD

John Moore, MD, chief of Thoracic Surgical Oncology at Saint Joseph's Hospital of Atlanta, discusses the rise in lung cancer cases of non-smokers and, beyond being a non-smoker, people who have been exposed to either very little or no tobacco smoke at all. He also speaks about how, overall, the rate of smoking is down in the United States, with a great rate of men either quitting or choosing not to smoke.

This is the third of a three-part interview of Dr. Moore.
