How does small cell lung cancer develop?

Small cell lung cancer is caused by factors such as frequent smoking, overwork, and air pollution. After the disease occurs, patients will experience abnormal symptoms such as coughing, sputum, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing, which not only affects work and life, but also poses a great threat to life and health.

1. Frequent smoking: The harmful ingredients contained in tobacco, such as nicotine, nitrosamines, benzopyrene, and a small amount of radioactive elements are carcinogenic. Therefore, people who smoke heavily for a long time have a higher chance of getting small cell lung cancer.

2. Overwork: Long-term high-intensity physical labor will lead to a decrease in the body's immunity and anti-infection ability. In addition, the respiratory function will also be affected, thereby causing small cell lung cancer.

3. Air pollution: including serious environmental pollution, as well as industrial waste gas and automobile exhaust, which contain high levels of carcinogens. Long-term exposure will cause severe damage to lung tissue, which has an important impact on the onset of small cell lung cancer.

In addition to the above common causes, long-term exposure to ionizing radiation and family genetic factors may also cause the onset of small cell lung cancer. During professional treatment, you should also pay attention to the corresponding conditioning work, maintain a healthy diet, and strengthen your physical fitness to prevent the disease from getting worse.
