Overview

Common causes of non-small cell lung cancer 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 non-small cell lung cancer 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 non-small cell lung cancer, include:[1]
  • Inorganic arsenic exposure
  • Chromium, nickel exposure
  • Vinyl chloride exposure
  • Radon exposure
  • Halogen ether exposure
