Overview
Common causes of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung include precursor lesions, such as metaplasia or dysplasia induced by smoking, asbestos exposure, ionizing radiation, atmospheric pollution, and chronic interstitial pneumonitis. Less common causes of non-small cell lung cancer include chromium and nickel exposure, vinyl chloride exposure, and inorganic arsenic exposure.[1]
Common Causes
- Common causes of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung include precursor lesions, such as metaplasia or dysplasia.
- Precursor lesions of non-small cell lung cancer include:[1]
- Smoking(active/passive)
- Asbestos exposure
- Chronic interstitial pneumonitis
- Ionizing radiation
- Atmospheric pollution
Less Common Causes
- Less common causes of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung include:[1]
- Inorganic arsenic exposure
- Chromium, nickel exposure
- Vinyl chloride exposure
- Radon exposure
- Halogen ether exposure
