“…It has been estimated that 13% to 29% of lung cancers occurs in men. [25] states, that the risk of lung cancer is increased by the occupational groupings of iron and steel industries, chemical industries, petrochemical plants and sewage plants by releasing the carcinogenic substances into the environment. Some of the occupational causes are exposure to asbestos, tobacco smoke, coal dust, cadmium, chromium, nanoparticles, etc.…”

Our body is a society of cells, which is made up of more than a hundred million of living cells. Changes in the appearance and functions of one cell or a small group of cells may result in a noninfectious or non-communicable disease called cancer. Cancer is referred to as an ailment characterised by an unrestrained growth of abnormal cells which if untreated and unchecked eventually kills the patient. Cancer cell growth is different from normal cell growth. It begins, when cells in certain part of the body starts to grow out of control. Instead of dying, the cells continue to grow and form new abnormal cells. Growing out of control and invading other tissues are what makes a cell as a cancer cell. Cells become cancer cells because of the damage to deoxyribonucleic acid. Several parts of the body may get affected by this disease called cancer. We all have a risk of developing cancer. So, it"s important to know and aware on exactly about what are cancer and their types, symptoms and also about its treatment. Oncology is termed as the study of cancer, where its main objectives are to determine its causes, find prevention methods, develop early detection methods and to find an effective treatment.

“…Such factors include exposure to identified physical and chemical agents and their mixtures and occupational and environmental activities. The latter may entail exposures occurred in or in proximity of some industrial facilities, air pollution due to road traffic and home heating [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Sufficient or convincing evidence about causes of bladder cancer is associated with cigarette smoking, radiation, exposure to aromatic amines, arsenic and inorganic arsenic compounds, Schistosoma haematobium, and work in occupations such as aluminum production, painting, and rubber production [7][8][9].…”

This study investigated the risk of lung and bladder cancers in people residing in proximity of a coal-oil-fired thermal power plant in an area of north-eastern Italy, covered by a population-based cancer registry. Incidence rate ratios (IRR) by sex, age, and histology were computed according to tertiles of residential exposure to benzene, nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), particular matter, and sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) among 1076 incident cases of lung and 650 cases of bladder cancers. In men of all ages and in women under 75 years of age, no significant associations were observed. Conversely, in women aged ≥75 years significantly increased risks of lung and bladder cancers were related to high exposure to benzene (IRR for highest vs. lowest tertile: 2.00 for lung cancer and 1.94 for bladder cancer) and NO 2 (IRR: 1.72 for lung cancer; and 1.94 for bladder cancer). In these women, a 1.71-fold higher risk of lung cancer was also related to a high exposure to SO 2 . Acknowledging the limitations of our study, in particular that we did not have information regarding cigarette smoking habits, the findings of this study indicate that air pollution exposure may have had a role with regard to the risk of lung and bladder cancers limited to women aged ≥75 years. Such increased risk warrants further analytical investigations.
