US researchers have now found that more and more non-smokers developing lung cancer. Your guess why this is so, is shocking.
Update from the 19.11.2018 : As now the public was, died, Jens Büchner lung cancer. The Star of “Goodbye Germany” and the jungle camp is known to many as the “Malle-Jens”. The Entertainer was Smoking, but Smoking it can make.
Who has lung cancer, must often hear the justification that he himself was to blame for it, since he had smoked in his life too much. And in fact, the risk of developing lung cancer is especially high if you treat themselves often, and regular cigarette.
lung cancer: Smoking is still the main cause
Strong Smoking is today, finally still as the main cause of cancer . Approximately 19,000 women and more than 35,000 men are diagnosed each year. Even a few cigarettes a day will even shorten the life.
However, US scientists to Lorraine Pelosof from the University of Dallas have shown in a study that more and more non-smokers not immune to lung cancer.
non-Smoking the proportion of lung cancer
disease increased dramatically and they have analyzed 13 years of data from 12,000 patients with lung cancer. With the shocking result: The non-Smoking-proportion of lung cancer diseases is about ten to 22 percent in the female patients increased . For men, however, he fell to nine percent.
But how can that be? The Diseased had stated in the end, even that you had never in your life have a Cigarette in the Hand.
lung cancer in non-smokers: The behind
the Declaration of The researchers, however, seems obvious: As less and less people are Smoking, would grow diseases so logically, the proportion of non-Smoking lung cancer. Consequently, tobacco would no longer be alone the culprit in lung tumors.
according to The researchers, namely, to the you can contribute additional environmental conditions to a lung cancer disease . These include:
passive cancer Smoking Gene-promoting substances-variant
survey: your opinion counts
Other reasons for lung cancer: passive Smoking, toxic substances and rare Gene variant
can increase passive Smoking alone already, the risk of lung cancer dramatically. As the investigation from the Dallas shows, suffer many women. Finally, it should be long time the men have been smoked. Their partners were exposed to the toxic Smoke also. Also, Pets can become ill as a result of passive Smoking to cancer.
But it is not only the Inhalation of tobacco smoke to be harmful, other (unknown) substances can cause lung cancer. Thus, the Robert-Koch Institute estimates that approximately nine to 15 percent of cases are due to asbestos, polycyclic aromatic causes dramatic hydrocarbons, quartz, or Nickel dust . In particular, construction and mining workers, and welders come into daily contact with these toxic substances in contact.
in Addition, more of US have found out-researchers at the Mayo clinic in Minnesota, that many non-smokers who had contracted lung cancer, a contributed a certain Gene variant . This variant, also called GPC5, should be known to favor the growth of tumors in the lung tissue.
However, whether these findings are disease to the lung cancer in Germany can be transferred, is confirmed neither by the Robert-Koch-Institute from the German cancer research center.
