If a 1/6 of all lung cancers have nothing to do with smoking, and are NOT explainable by Radon then we still have quite a bit of work to do. It's a great thing that they have the gene map so they can start to play around with sequencing and see what they find but we are talking huge numbers here.

i quit smoking years ago. thankful i did so. and yeah, there is still work to do.
