Is lung adenocarcinoma a lung cancer? Who is readily available?
Lung adenocarcinoma is a malignant tumor that originates in the glands of the lungs and is a type of non-small cell lung cancer. According to the World Health Organization, adenocarcinoma of the lungs is one of the most common cancers worldwide, causing more than 1 million deaths each year.
From the perspective of TCM, the occurrence of lung adenocarcinoma is related to a variety of factors, including genetics, environment, and lifestyle.
Never smoked but was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer
The proportion of these people is getting higher and higher
The proportion of lung cancer among never-smokers is rising globally. In a United States study of 12,000 lung cancer patients, the percentage of non-smokers rose from 8 percent to 15 percent in two decades. A United Kingdom study found similar conclusions, with the number of people who never smoked jumping from 13% in 2008 to 28% in 2014.
Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in the world, with 1.8 million deaths and 2.2 million new confirmed cases in 2020 alone. Lung cancer is also the most common, preventable cancer with known primary causes.
In Western countries, most lung cancers are related to smoking. But it is estimated that about 15% of men and 53% of women with lung cancer worldwide never smoke.
Lung cancer in non-smokers is often classified as adenocarcinoma, that is, malignant tumors formed by the cancerous transformation of glandular tissue, which can occur in the lungs, breast, prostate, colon and other parts, mainly in women and East Asians.
相比之下，吸烟者中发生的肺癌最常见的是鳞状细胞癌（squamous cell carcinoma）和小细胞癌（small cell carcinoma），前者是鳞状上皮细胞癌变形成的恶性肿瘤，如皮肤癌，后者则因为癌细胞在显微镜下看起来小而圆得名。
For more than four decades, scientists have been looking for environmental risk factors that could explain how people who have never smoked get lung cancer. Potential factors include passive smoking, exposure to indoor radon gas, exposure to kitchen fumes from the combustion of coal or other fuels (especially in low-income countries), various air pollution, pre-existing lung diseases, hormonal and reproductive factors (which may explain why women who have never smoked are more likely to develop lung cancer), genetic predisposition, and more. Other potential risk factors include asbestos and cancer-causing viruses.
