Pope Leo was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. There has been great interest in better understanding this disease.
Dr. Vipal Durkal of Texas Oncology joined the conversation to discuss lung cancer risk, symptoms, and ways to support healthy lungs. The episode reviewed key risk factors—including smoking and secondhand smoke, radon, workplace exposures, and air pollution—and highlighted symptoms such as a persistent cough, coughing up blood, shortness of breath, chest pain, recurrent respiratory infections, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue.
The discussion also emphasized paying attention to changes in lung health and seeking medical advice about persistent or concerning symptoms.
