Confirmed asthma susceptibility to lung cancer

Research by a number of international agencies completed a study confirmed that asthma patients suffering from lung cancer more easily than ordinary people. Female patients suffering from asthma and lung cancer risk is higher than male patients. According to local media reports, during the past 30 years, researchers tracked more than 90,000 hospitalized because of asthma. Discharged in 2001 but still survived without any symptoms of cancer patients, the average time to eight years and a half. Found that there were 713 patients suffering from lung cancer, more than 58% of the high incidence of lung cancer in the general population. The incidence of lung cancer among women and asthma patients was 78% higher than the general population. The incidence of lung cancer among men suffering from asthma was 51% higher than the general population. Researchers say, they are still unable to determine the incidence of asthma and lung cancer are directly related. However, they explained that the incidence of asthma and lung cancer may be a common mechanism trigger asthma can lead to chronic inflammation of excessive free radicals, Radical activity is a strong body of the atomic clusters or to other substances on the human body oxidation, It not only damaged genetic material, but also can promote cancer formation and development. In addition, asthma and lung cancer may share common external incentives, such as smoking. Currently, researchers are continuing to young asthma patients, particularly young patients are smokers and a follow-up investigation. with a view to further reveal the real role of asthma in lung cancer incidence.
