Overview

The most important risk factor in the development of large cell carcinoma of the lung is cigarette smoking. Other common risk factors in the development of large cell carcinoma of the lung are family history of lung cancer, high levels of air pollution, radiation therapy to the chest, radon gas, asbestos, occupational exposure to chemical carcinogens, and previous history of lung disease.[1]
