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, nickel , vinyl chloride, and inorganic arsenic exposure.
