What increases the chances of developing lung cancer

Asbestos fibers Asbestos fibers are silicon that persist lifelong fibers in lung tissue after exposure to asbestos.
The workplace is a common source of exposure, as asbestos was widely used in the past in thermal and acoustic insulation.

 Today, asbestos use is limited and banned in many countries.
 Both lung cancers as meson thulium (a type of cancer that affects the pleura, the contour of the abdominal cavity called the peritoneum) are linked to asbestos exposure.

 Cigarette smoke dramatically increases the chances of developing lung cancer linked to asbestos.
Workers exposed to asbestos who do not smoke are five times more likely to get lung cancer than a normal person, and workers exposed to asbestos who smoke have a risk 50 to 90 times higher.
Radon gas is a natural, chemically inert which is the natural breakdown product of uranium.

 He degrades and forms products that emit a type of ionizing radiation. Radon is one of the known causes of lung cancer.

The gas is invisible and odorless, but it can be easily detected with tests. familial predisposition Although most lung tumors is associated with smoking, the fact that not all smokers will develop cancer suggests that other factors, such as individual genetic susceptibility may have a role in causing this cancer.
 Many studies have shown that lung cancer is more likely to appear in both smokers and nonsmokers relatives of people who have had cancer. Recent searches an area located on the long arm of human chromosome 6 that is likely to contain a gene that confers an increased development of lung cancer susceptibility in smokers.
