    What they're testing for is actually a sign of virus infection.

    The pivotal role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase–Akt signal transduction in virus survival. S Cooray. J Gen Virol 2004;85:1065-1076. A number of viruses including EBV, HPV, HBV and HCV have the ability to establish long-term infections in the host, either through the establishment of latent or chronic infections, which can ultimately lead to cellular transformation. It appears that the gene products of these viruses stimulate PI3K–Akt-mediated cell survival and thereby block apoptosis of the cells they infect. This contributes to both virus survival and oncogenic transformation..."

    And among that list of viruses, HPV is implicated in at least a quarter of non-small cell lung cancers. The Surgeon General et al. are guilty of fraud for ignoring the role of HPV in order to falsely blame smoking and passive smoking.
