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.

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:

• 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:

• Inorganic arsenic exposure
• Chromium, nickel exposure
• Vinyl chloride exposure
• Radon exposure
• Halogen ether exposure
