Early lung tumorigenesis depends not only on mutant clones but also on tumor-promoting niches that remain difficult to detect. In Cell, Pandya et al. identify a 14-protein plasma signature that predicts lung cancer years before diagnosis, report interleukin-1β-linked alveolar remodeling, and position tumor promotion as a target for precision prevention.
