Overview

Causes of large cell carcinoma of the lung, are those of non-small cell lung cancers. Common causes 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 large cell carcinoma of the lung include chromium and nickel exposure, vinyl chloride exposure, and inorganic arsenic exposure.
