LCINS are highly enriched for targetable oncogenic alterations, have low tumour mutational burden and low rates of PD-L1 positivity, and lack mutational signatures, even in patients who report passive, secondhand smoke exposure

[4] The proposed mechanism of action, based only on preclinical animal studies, involves potential modulation of growth factor pathways, particularly vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which may promote angiogenesisthe formation of new blood vessels
