Mireya Soriano, a 76-year-old Argentine engineer and journalist, was diagnosed with a rare subtype of lung cancer that had spread to her liver, despite never having smoked. This case reflects a broader trend where lung cancer rates are declining among smokers while increasing in non-smokers, especially women. Soriano participated in a clinical trial for a new drug at 12 de Octubre Hospital in Madrid. Despite her initial struggles, she has regained strength and is leading a near-normal life again after starting the treatment.
"It's a cancer that affects women more frequently, although it's not clear why. Doctors told Soriano that her prognosis wasn't good."
"I feel like I did when I was healthy. The writer jokes about being a guinea pig."
