What are the factors that induce lung cancer

Lung cancer is a very common disease in our daily life. It is extremely harmful to patients and will also cause many complications. The formation of lung cancer is a long and complicated process. For the health of us and our families, we should learn more about the factors that induce lung cancer. Let’s take a look at the factors that induce lung cancer.

The factors that induce lung cancer are as follows:

(1) Occupational factors: After years of investigation and research, it is now recognized that long-term exposure to radioactive substances such as uranium, chromium, radium and their derivatives, carcinogenic hydrocarbons, coal tar, iron, nickel, petroleum, asphalt, mustard gas, arsenic, asbestos, copper and tin can induce lung cancer, mainly squamous cell carcinoma and undifferentiated small cell carcinoma.

(ii) Air pollution: The incidence of lung cancer is high in industrially developed countries, higher in cities than in rural areas, and higher in factory and mining areas than in residential areas. The main reason is that in industrially and transportation-developed areas, the combustion of petroleum, coal, and internal combustion engines, as well as asphalt road dust, produces harmful substances that pollute the atmosphere, including carcinogenic hydrocarbons such as benzopyrene.

(III) Chronic lung diseases: such as tuberculosis, silicosis, and pneumoconiosis can coexist with lung cancer. The incidence of cancer in these cases is higher than that of normal people. In addition, chronic inflammation of the lung bronchi and pulmonary fibrosis scar lesions may cause squamous metaplasia or hyperplasia during the healing process. On this basis, some cases may develop into cancer.

(IV) Smoking: According to a large number of survey data from various countries, the cause of lung cancer is closely related to smoking. The increase in the incidence of lung cancer is parallel to the increase in cigarette sales. Cigarettes contain a variety of carcinogens such as benzopyrene. Experimental animals that inhale cigarette smoke or apply tar can induce respiratory and skin cancer.

The above is an introduction to the factors that induce lung cancer. After reading the above detailed introduction, I believe everyone has a clear understanding of the factors that induce lung cancer. After understanding these factors, we must do a good job in preventing lung cancer to avoid the invasion of lung cancer.
