Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) does not directly cause lung cancer, but it can lead to lung damage and scarring, which may increase the risk of developing lung cancer over time. Chronic inflammation and changes in lung tissue associated with TB can create an environment conducive to cancer development. Additionally, individuals with a history of TB may have overlapping risk factors, such as smoking, that contribute to lung cancer risk. However, the relationship is complex and not fully understood.
