Overview

Common causes of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung 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.
