No, that would be very rare to develop either of these diseases at such a young age. However, if you're concerned about a family member then he should be checked out by a doctor. ↑

Most cancer occurs in the older population.

Certain types of cancer virtually never occur in babies, children or teenagers - this includes lung and mouth cancer.

Children and young people are more likely to suffer from leukamia or bone cancer.

Cancer isn't simply one disease - there are over a hundred different types and forms.

I would say that the chance of a teenager having lung cancer is extremely small indeed. ↑
