Can a patient with lung cancer have a child?

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor of the respiratory tract with a relatively high incidence in my country. It is very painful after contracting the disease. This disease directly threatens the patient's life and also brings a heavy economic burden to the family. Therefore, we must pay more attention to our physical condition in daily life and actively prevent the onset of lung cancer. So can you still get pregnant after contracting lung cancer? What are the high-risk factors for lung cancer?

The high-risk factors for lung cancer are: 1. Smoking [4] In 1922, Hampeln found that continuous smoking and inhalation of dust can stimulate bronchial epithelium and induce cancer. In 1924, Moller applied tar to the back of rabbits and found that the incidence of lung cancer increased slightly. Smoking is currently considered to be the most basic high-risk factor for lung cancer. There are more than 3,000 chemical substances in tobacco. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds (such as benzopyrene) have strong carcinogenic activity. They can act on certain special enzymes in human tissues (especially lung tissues) to produce mutations in cell molecular structures (such as DNA), and there may be mutations in K-ras. [5] 2. Occupational and environmental exposure It is estimated that up to 15% of lung cancer patients have a history of environmental and occupational exposure. There is sufficient evidence to prove that the following 9 industrial components increase the incidence of lung cancer: byproducts of aluminum products, arsenic, asbestos, bis-chloromethylether, chromium compounds, coke ovens, mustard gas, nickel-containing impurities, and vinyl chloride. Long-term exposure to substances such as beryllium, cadmium, silicon, and formalin can also increase the incidence of lung cancer. In addition, air pollution, especially industrial waste gas, is a high-risk factor for lung cancer. [6] 3. Radioactive uranium and fluorite miners are exposed to inert gas radon, decay uranium byproducts, etc., and their incidence of lung cancer is significantly higher than that of other people, but people exposed to ionizing radiation will not increase the incidence of lung cancer. 4. Chronic lung infection? For example, in patients with tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, etc., the bronchial epithelium may metaplasia into squamous epithelium during chronic infection and eventually lead to cancer, but this type of situation is relatively rare. 5. Internal factors Family, genetic and congenital factors, as well as reduced immune function, metabolic and endocrine dysfunction, etc. may also be high-risk factors for lung cancer.

Lung cancer not only troubles many men, but also some women, and even some women of childbearing age, who are tortured by lung cancer. They often ask whether lung cancer patients can still get pregnant. The following editor will introduce to you:

There are many causes of lung cancer. Lung cancer patients should not become pregnant before they are cured, as this will affect their nutrition and physical strength. If patients still need intermittent maintenance treatment, most of the drugs are cytotoxic drugs that are toxic to the fetus and can cause fetal malformations, miscarriage, and premature birth.

Lung cancer patients are generally b Some lung cancer patients are diagnosed with lung cancer during pregnancy. At this time, the pregnancy should be terminated as soon as possible. According to clinical data on lung cancer, pregnancy can promote the recurrence and metastasis of lung cancer, and also bring many difficulties to treatment, affecting the efficacy. If the birth is imminent, induced labor or cesarean section can be performed, and then lung cancer can be treated. The specific situation should be discussed and decided with the attending physician, the patient, and the patient's family.

Through the above introduction, we understand some high-risk factors for lung cancer and that you cannot become pregnant and have children after developing lung cancer, because the quality of lung cancer drugs will affect the development of the fetus, and the physical condition of pregnant women during pregnancy is relatively complicated, which is not conducive to the recovery of lung cancer. Therefore, if lung cancer is discovered during pregnancy, it must be treated in a timely manner.
