Cause of Lung Cancer

90% of lung cancer in men cause is smoking and 70% in women the cause is smoking. Smoke more cigarettes smoked, the greater the risk for lung cancer.
Only a small proportion of lung cancer (about 10% -15% in men and 5% in women) caused by substances that met or inhaled in the workplace. Working the section that contains asbestos, radiation, arsenic, chromate, nickel, chloromethyl ethers, mustard gas and coke oven emission can cause lung cancer, although usually only occurs in workers who also smoked.
The role of air pollution as a cause of lung cancer is still unclear. Some cases occur because of exposure by radon gas in the household.
Sometimes, lung cancer (particularly adenocarcinoma and alveolar cell carcinoma) occurred in people who already have lung scarring due to other pulmonary diseases, such as tuberculosis and fibrosis.
