Three internal factors related to the development of lung cancer

Lung cancer often occurs in the bronchial mucosal epithelium, so it is also called bronchial lung cancer. It is one of the most common malignant tumors. Over the past half century, the incidence and mortality of lung cancer have been increasing worldwide. It is related to the deterioration of the living environment. With the progress of research on the cause of lung cancer, it is found that its onset is also closely related to its own factors. The factors related to the onset of lung cancer are:

1. Endocrine factors

Endocrine factors are one of the internal factors that cause lung cancer, mainly referring to factors such as metabolic disorders, endocrine disorders and decreased immune function, which increase the risk of lung cancer.

2. Age Factor

The age factor means that the incidence of lung cancer is closely related to age. The incidence of lung cancer increases significantly over the age of 45. On the one hand, with the increase of age, the immune organ thymus gradually atrophies, various organs gradually age, and various cells are prone to mutation. On the other hand, with the increase of age, various carcinogens will accumulate in the body and gradually increase.

3. Mental factors

Mental factors are the most important factors in the development of lung cancer. They play an important role not only in lung cancer but also in many diseases. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, emotional injury is one of the important internal causes of disease. The current bio-psycho-social medical model also puts forward the importance of mental factors in the occurrence and development of diseases. A pessimistic mentality, especially depression, not only increases the risk of lung cancer, but also affects the prognosis of lung cancer. Its important role cannot be ignored.
