Lung cancer patients should combine their examination methods in the early stage

The appearance of lung cancer will seriously affect the patient's life and bring a lot of pain to the body. If people do not combine lung cancer examination early, it may affect the development of the patient's condition. Therefore, everyone should know some lung cancer examination methods in advance to detect the patient's condition in time. Let's take a look at the specific items of lung cancer examination.

Tests for lung cancer include:

1. Radionuclide examination

Radioactive drugs such as 67Ga-citrate have an affinity for lung cancer and its metastatic lesions. After intravenous injection, they can be concentrated in the tumor and can be used to diagnose lung cancer and show the extent of the cancer. The positive rate can reach about 90%. This is one of the examination items for lung cancer.

2. X-ray examination

X-ray examination is the most commonly used examination for lung cancer. Through X-ray examination, the location and size of lung cancer can be understood. Although X-ray examination of early lung cancer cases cannot yet show a mass, local emphysema and atelectasis caused by bronchial obstruction or infiltrative lesions or pulmonary inflammation in the vicinity of the lesion may be seen.

3. Bronchoscopy

It is also one of the examination methods for lung cancer. Through bronchoscope, the pathological changes of the bronchial lining and lumen can be directly observed. If cancer or cancerous infiltration is observed, tissue can be taken for pathological section examination, or bronchial secretions can be aspirated for cytological examination to clarify the diagnosis and determine the histological type.

The above is the examination of lung cancer. I hope everyone can understand it one by one. As long as the above examination methods of lung cancer are combined early, patients can receive treatment better, and it will not be difficult to alleviate the condition. Therefore, if you want patients to receive treatment early, please ask family members to refer to the examination of lung cancer. I wish all patients can fight the disease to the end.
