Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, occupational exposure with fabric dust can cause lung cancer.
It is not seen in all workers but some genetically susceptible workers, workers who smoke or have other lung diseases are more prone for development of lung cancer.
So your lung cancer is mostly due to fabric dust you are working in.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
