Template:Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung causes
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Trusha Tank, M.D.[2]
Overview
The direct cause of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is DNA mutations that often result in either activation of proto-oncogenes (e.g. K-RAS) or the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes (e.g. TP53) or both. The risk of these genetic mutations may be increased following exposure to environmental components.
Causes
- The direct cause of lung cancers is DNA mutations that often result in either activation of proto-oncogenes (e.g. K-RAS) or the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes (e.g. TP53) or both.[1]
- The risk of these genetic mutations may be increased following exposure to environmental components, which are regarded as risk factors that predispose to the development of lung cancer.
