What causes small cell lung cancer

There are many causes of small cell lung cancer, each of which will seriously threaten people's health and increase people's pain. What causes small cell lung cancer? Let us take a look at the causes of small cell lung cancer.

Air pollution: Air pollution is getting worse and worse, leading to more and more people suffering from small cell lung cancer due to environmental pollution. We must pay attention to environmental protection. 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 traffic-developed areas, the combustion of oil, coal, and internal combustion engines and asphalt road dust produces harmful substances such as benzopyrene carcinogenic hydrocarbons that pollute the atmosphere. Therefore, this is also one of the causes of lung cancer. Survey materials show that the incidence of lung cancer is also increased in areas with high concentrations of benzopyrene in the atmosphere. Air pollution and smoking may promote each other and play a synergistic role in the incidence of lung cancer.

Less intake of fresh vegetables: In life 10 years ago, consuming more vegetables and a moderate amount of fresh fruits had a protective effect on lung cancer in women; the greater the intake, the more obvious the protective effect. Although the effect of consuming more vegetables on women is not as obvious as that on men, there is also a protective trend. In addition, sour (vinegar) foods, spicy foods, and onion and garlic foods have a protective effect on lung cancer, while fried foods and pickled foods increase the risk of disease. Poor psychological adaptability, long-term mental depression, and significant type A personality (referring to quick actions, impatience, strong aggressiveness, and irritability) will increase the risk of small cell lung cancer. Kitchen fumes: Small cell lung cancer in women is closely related to kitchen fumes.

Personal factors: A bad personality can affect immune function, change the body's immune status, and reduce the body's immune surveillance and immune killing function against cancer cells. People with depressed personalities or who are in a bad mood for a relatively long time, like those who are close to tobacco and polluted environments, are best to have a chest X-ray every six months. In addition, lung cancer patients are psychologically and physiologically fragile, especially when they are just diagnosed, it is difficult for patients to accept it. Family members should be able to grasp the patient's psychological changes in a timely manner and take various forms to provide psychological counseling for the patient. The occurrence of small cell lung cancer is due to multiple factors. No one pathogenic factor can cause lung cancer alone, and the harm of mental effects to lung cancer cannot be ignored.
