Overview
The most potent risk factor in the development of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is tobacco smoking. Other risk factors include secondhand smoke, air pollution, family history of lung cancer, radiation therapy to the chest, radon exposure, asbestos exposure and exposure to other chemical carcinogens.
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung are the following:[1][2][3][4]
- History of cigarettes, cigars, or pipe smoking
- Secondhand or passive smoking
- Family history of lung cancer
- Genetic predisposition
- High levels of air pollution
- Radiation therapy to the chest
- Heavy alcohol consumption
- Radon gas
- Occupational exposure to silica, asbestos, uranium, arsenic, chromium, or nuclear radiation
- Previous history of lung diseases
