Top Causes and Risk Factors of Lung Cancer

Smoking remains the #1 cause

80–90% of lung cancer cases are linked to smoking - including cigarettes, cigars and beedis.

Even non-smokers are at risk

Breathing in others’ smoke regularly can be as harmful as smoking itself.

Polluted air and toxic workplaces

Exposure to asbestos, radon, or industrial fumes can damage lung tissue over time.

Family history can increase risk

Genetics and inherited mutations can make some people more vulnerable to lung cancer.

Awareness saves lives

Know your risks, quit smoking, and get screened early at Thangam Cancer Center for better outcomes.
