Abstract:
Tumours are the main disease affecting the health of the Chinese population, and lung cancer is the malignancy with the highest incidence. Hence, the need to study and analyse the population of lung cancer incidence in order to effectively control and prevent it. In this research, we discuss the demographic characteristics of lung cancer incidence population of 2014 to 2020 from the perspective of multiple urban environmental factors, taking Bengbu city in the Huaihe River Basin of China as the research area, analyse the correlation between environmental indicators and lung cancer incidence population through the Spearman's rank correlation assessment model, and analyse the interaction between the influence factors of a geographic detector to analyse the influence of urban environmental factors. The results showed the followings: (1) The distribution characteristics of lung cancer incidence population were mainly geriatric population and spatially mainly fell in the old urban area of the study area, and the population distribution had clustered characteristics. (2) Through Spearman's rank correlation analysis, the land use, road traffic, spatial form, service facilities, and the open space of green space of the urban-built environment as well as the natural environment are all correlated with the incidence of lung cancer. (3) Factor detection and interaction analysis revealed a greater effect of spring and winter on lung cancer prevalence. In addition, the road intersection density and the distance to industrial are the most important potential influencing factors, and the interaction of any two factors will increase the risk of lung cancer.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
