The main reason for lung cancer is smoking. Smoking contributes to about 90% of lung cancer.
Exposure to radon (radioactive gas naturally present in the soil), hazardous chemicals (such as asbestos, cadmium, nickel, arsenic, uranium, etc.), and pollution may also lead to lung cancer.
Genetic factors may also be the risk factor for lung cancer. Talk to your doctor if you have a family history of lung cancer.
