Es causado principalmente por el <strong>consumo de tabaco.</strong> Afecta sobre todo a personas de 60 a 65 a帽os.</p> </p> </div> <h4>驴Qu茅 es?</h4> <p>El c谩ncer de pulm贸n es causado por el consumo de tabaco principalmente. Los s铆ntomas m谩s frecuentes son dificultad respiratoria, tos (incluyendo expectoraci贸n sanguinolenta), p茅rdida de peso, dolor tor谩cico, ronquera o hinchaz贸n en el cuello y la cara.</p> <h4>Factores de riesgo</h4> <ul> <li><strong>Humo de tabaco:</strong> es la principal causa de la mayor铆a de los casos de CP. Las sustancias nocivas del humo tab谩quico lesionan las c茅lulas del pulm贸n. La exposici贸n al humo del tabaco en el ambiente puede causar c谩ncer de pulm贸n tambi茅n en personas que no fuman (fumadores pasivos).</li> <li><strong>Contaminaci贸n del aire:</strong> este factor puede aumentar levemente el riesgo de c谩ncer de pulm贸n. El riesgo por contaminaci贸n del aire es mayor para los fumadores.</li> <li><strong>Exposici贸n a sustancias nocivas:</strong> las personas que trabajan en la industria de la construcci贸n, qu铆mica y minera pueden estar expuestas a gases radioactivos y sustancias que aumentan el riesgo de padecer CP.
