Do you know the six causes of lung cancer?

Cancer has become a topic of "talking about cancer color change", among which lung cancer ranks first in many cities. This also shows how important it is to prevent and treat lung cancer. First of all, we must understand what causes lung cancer. From the main reasons, the causes of lung cancer are smoking, work and living environment, ionizing radiation, lingering lung infection, genetic factors, air pollution, etc.

Smoking has a hundred harms and no benefits, it can be said that it is well known, but in fact there are many smokers, which may also be the reason why lung cancer patients continue to rise, because in the cause of lung cancer, the number one reason is smoking, and family members of smokers have also become high-risk groups of lung cancer. As everyone knows, small cigarettes contain 3000 kinds of chemicals, aromatic hydrocarbon compounds in cigarettes, namely benzopyrene and nitrosamines, are strong carcinogenic factors.

There is also an occupational trend in the incidence of lung cancer, that is, about 10% of patients have environmental and occupational factors, and there are 9 kinds of aluminum by-products, arsenic, asbestos, dichloromethyl ether, chromium compounds, coke ovens, mustard gas, nickel-containing impurities, vinyl chloride, etc. There is regular exposure to beryllium, cadmium, silicon, formalin and other substances, the incidence of lung cancer will also increase. Finally, smog, industrial waste gas, etc.

Then there are ionizing radiation, lung disease past history, genetic factors, in fact ionizing radiation and the previous cause of lung cancer, but also the cause of many lung diseases, and the long-term existence and development of lung disease, is the direct factor of lung cancer. Ionizing radiation refers to employees who have been engaged in mining radioactive ores for a long time. They are prone to occupational lung cancer, with a probability of 70%~ 80%. The most common is squamous cell carcinoma.

Squamous cell carcinoma patients, there will be 10 to 45 years of radioactive ore mining history, the average age of squamous cell carcinoma onset is 38 years old, so it is a point of attention. There was also radon and its daughters, and the fact that lung cancer rates were significantly higher not only in mice but also among Japanese atomic bomb survivors. Lung disease causes lung cancer, almost every spreading disease such as tuberculosis, chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, etc. is the pathogen of lung cancer.
