Primary risk factors for lung tumors include tobacco smoking, exposure to secondhand smoke, occupational exposure to carcinogens such as asbestos and radon, air pollution, genetic predisposition, and certain respiratory infections like tuberculosis.

?How are lung tumors diagnosed, and what are the key diagnostic modalities used

Lung tumors are diagnosed through various modalities including imaging studies such as chest X-ray, computed tomography (CT) scan, and positron emission tomography (PET) scan. Biopsy techniques such as bronchoscopy, needle biopsy, or surgical biopsy may be performed to obtain tissue samples for histopathological evaluation and confirmation of the diagnosis. Additionally, blood tests and molecular testing for specific genetic mutations may be conducted to guide treatment decisions.
