Overview
Risk Factors
Clinical data has suggested that the development of small cell carcinoma of the lung is related to several factors.
- Smoking: Clinical data show that smoking is by far the leading risk factor for lung cancer, especially for small cell carcinoma of the lung. Women and children are victimization of Secondhand smoke.
- Radon: As a radioactive gas, radon increases the risk of small cell carcinoma of the lung.
- Asbestos: Epidemiological survey suggests people who work with asbestos have a higher risk of developing lung cancer, especially for small cell carcinoma of the lung.
