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.

For adult women in the United States, breast cancer is the most common cancer (32% of all cancer cases), followed by lung cancer (12%), cancer of the colon and rectum (11%), endometrial cancer (6%, uterus ) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (4%). Based on the cases of death, lung cancer, the most common (27% of cancer deaths), followed by breast cancer (15%), cancer of the colon and rectum (10%), ovarian cancer (6%), and pancreatic cancer (6% ).

Statistics can be great variation in other countries. In Indonesia, the cancer became the third largest contributor of death after heart disease. According to a Ministry of Health of Indonesia, the leading cause of cancer in these countries is an unhealthy lifestyle, such as lack of exercise, smoking, and eating patterns are not sehat.Menurut Dr. Anton Muhibuddin, researchers at UB, the growth of cancer can be overcome with adequate nutrition so that the supply of information to the brain is not obstructed. In plants, the cancer is a disease caused by a type of fungus / bacteria tertantu. Patterns of plant invasions and kaner cancer in humans is very different.
