Genetic mutations trigger uncontrolled growth and metastasis.

THE ROLE OF CARCINOGENS

Chemicals, radiation, and viruses damage DNA and raise risk.

TOBACCO: THE TOP PREVENTABLE CAUSE

Smoking drives 80–90% of lung cancer deaths; quitting cuts risk fast.

SECONDHAND SMOKE AND VAPING

Secondhand smoke raises risk; long-term vaping effects remain under study.

DIET, ALCOHOL, AND CANCER

Processed/red meat and alcohol raise risk; whole foods help protect.

OBESITY AND INACTIVITY

Excess weight alters hormones/inflammation; regular exercise lowers risk.

GENETICS AND FAMILY HISTORY

BRCA, Lynch raise risk; genetic testing and screening save lives.
