Can be. I had a friend die of exposure to agent orange.
Agent orange was a known carcinogen but was used continuously throughout the Vietnam war to clear vegetation around fire bases and base camps.

A spot on the lung tissue can be caused by scarring or from a benign tumor. It can, but does not always mean lung cancer. Asking your physician is the best course of action.
Pneumonitis refers to lung tissue inflammation. Bisegmental pneumonitis refers to inflammation of the lung tissue with occurs in two segments.
the two main characteristics of normal lung tissue that may be affected in diseased individuals are either Compliance or Elasticity. compliance is the characteristic of lung tissue that allows it to expand elasticity is the characteristic of lung tissue that allows it go back to its former shape and size. elasticity is usually affected in chronic obstructive conditions like emphysema compliance is usually affected in restrictive lung dysfunctions like pulmonary fibrosis.
