How to prevent small cell lung cancer

How to prevent small cell lung cancer?

If you want to prevent the onset of small cell carcinoma, you should pay attention to maintaining good living habits, stay away from cancer environments, and actively treat various primary diseases. Going to the hospital for regular physical examinations and dealing with abnormal conditions in a timely manner can also help prevent the onset of small cell carcinoma.

1. Maintain good living habits

Long-term heavy smoking, drinking or staying up late is one of the common causes of small cell carcinoma. We should quit smoking and drinking, get enough sleep, avoid staying up late or turning day and night upside down. We should also adjust our mental state, keep a good mood, and avoid too much mental stress.

2. Get out of the carcinogenic environment

Air pollution or long-term exposure to industrial substances such as coal tar, asbestos, arsenic, and chromium will increase the incidence of small cell carcinoma. We should pay attention to protection work, wear masks when going out, avoid inhaling too much industrial waste gas or automobile exhaust, strictly take protective measures in industrial production, and have regular physical examinations.

3. Treat various primary diseases

If you have tuberculosis or bronchial disease, emphysema and other respiratory diseases, it may also damage lung function, thereby increasing the incidence of small cell lung cancer. If you have this disease, you should treat it in time and pay attention to respiratory maintenance in the future to reduce the incidence of small cell lung cancer.

In addition to the above factors, genetic factors and gene changes also have an indirect impact on the onset of small cell lung cancer. If there are patients with this disease among family relatives, we need to do more preventive measures.
