Stifling the invisible killer that causes lung cancer starts with prevention

Lung cancer is currently the "number one killer" of cancer deaths. If it is not well controlled, it will lead to death. Lung cancer is a man-made tumor and a lifestyle disease. As long as we change our unhealthy lifestyles and habits and be alert to the invisible killers that induce lung cancer, we can effectively avoid the invasion of lung cancer.

So, how do we prevent lung cancer? The most important point is that we need to understand the cause of lung cancer. There are many factors that induce lung cancer in life, the most common factors are smoking, chronic lung diseases, internal factors of the human body and occupational factors. Specifically as follows: Smoking: Long-term smoking can cause proliferation of bronchial mucosal epithelial cells, thereby inducing squamous cell carcinoma or undifferentiated small cell carcinoma; chronic lung diseases: People with tuberculosis, silicosis, pneumoconiosis and other diseases have a higher chance of developing lung cancer than normal people; internal factors of the human body: family inheritance, reduced immune function, metabolic activity and endocrine dysfunction can all lead to lung cancer; occupational factors: long-term exposure to radioactive substances such as uranium and radium and their derivatives can induce lung cancer.

Looking at the above factors that induce lung cancer, it is not difficult to see that lung cancer is a lifestyle disease. Therefore, if we want to prevent the occurrence of lung cancer, we must start by changing our bad lifestyles and habits.

First of all, we must control and ban smoking, reduce the proportion of smokers in the population, and especially limit smoking among young people, which will have positive significance for the prevention of lung cancer.

Secondly, for workers exposed to carcinogenic compounds, various practical and effective labor protection measures must be taken to avoid or reduce contact with carcinogenic factors.

Finally, we should pay attention to maintaining indoor ventilation, improving indoor air quality, and creating a good living environment for ourselves to prevent the occurrence of lung cancer.

To sum up, being alert to the invisible killer that causes lung cancer is the key to ensuring your own health. If you find that your physical health has symptoms of a certain disease in your life, do not delay diagnosis and go to a regular hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease and causing serious consequences.
