Yesterday I was reading about lung cancer so some reasons came infront of me. like smoking, passive smoking means who does not smoke but live with those who smoke so indirectly they get smoking into their lungs. Another reason is asbestos fibers is also reason of lung cancer and danger for our lungs. Other lung diseases and air pollution is also be the reason of lung cancer. There is a gas named randon gas which is natural gas it is also danger and cause of lung cancer. And if anyone had lung cancer in his life then there is much chance to have lung cancer again.
Today's life is very tough we are facing many problems in out diet and atmosphere and it is very complicated to save ourself from disease but even then we must take care of out health.
what is your opinion about it.

Thank you for your introduction of some reasons contributing to lung cancer, I have already learned much from it. In my opinion, in addition to the environmental factors, there are some other important factors that make the progression of lung cancers, for example, genetic disease genes, i.e., someone's father or mother has lung cancer related genes, which may be passed to their children. When combined with the environmental pressures, their children may infected with lung cancer. therefore, in order to control the number of lung cancer patients, both environmental and genetic factors should be studied. Actually, currently, investigation of lung cancer is a vary hot research direction in the field of biology and medicine.

I was chatting to my mother a while ago and she mentioned a friend of hers who had been diagnosed with incurable lung cancer. My mother mentioned that she thought more people these days are diagnosed with the big ‘C’ than there were years ago when she was young and she wondered if our life style these days is what is contributing to the number of people with this horrible disease. Our conversation did make me wonder if it is a sign of the times, if you like, with our chemical and technological advances possibly contributing to cancer in society.

hi ritika02 yes we must take careof ourselves and stay away from smokers,
if you have a smoker or smokers in your familyask that they smoke someplace other than in the house where you have to breathe in those toxic fumes , the stuff leaves deposits in your lungs and leads to lung
cancer and also to heart attacks too. We can avoid lung cancer by not smoking, not breathing toxic chemicals and by not being in the vicinity of those who are too stupid to quit smoking.By taking care of ourselves we can avoid a lot of diseases and also lung cancer and heart problems too.
