Knowledge On Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is leading cancer worldwide in terms of incidence and mortality. Despite lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States, its incidence is decreasing. It may due to better prevention, awareness, and early detection. Tobacco use is the main risk component for lung cancer. Radon, arsenic, asbestos, heavy metals-chromium VI, nickel, cadmium core oven, and coal gasification fumes and soot are well-known lung carcinogens. Considerable studies reported that high fat consumption increases the risk of lung cancer. Exposure to incense smoke and exposure to frypan fumes were associated with a higher risk for lung cancer due to the presence of combustion-related carcinogens. Another study showed that heavy pesticide usage was associated with an increase in lung cancer.
