Residential radon and small cell lung cancer. A systematic review

Residential radon exposure is considered the second cause of lung cancer and the first in never smokers. Nevertheless, the association between the different histological types of lung cancer and radon is not completely clear, and radon effect on small cell lung cancer is not completely understood. We aim to asses the effect of residential radon exposure on the risk of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in general population and miners through a systematic review applying predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
