Classification of lung cancer

Classification of lung cancer:

1. Lung cancer can be divided into central lung cancer and peripheral lung cancer.

2. The cancerous sites of peripheral lung cancer are mainly around the lungs. In pathological tissue biopsies, most of them are lung adenosquamous carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma. There are no bronchial sites around the lungs, so this type of lung cancer has no obvious symptoms in the early stages of the disease.

3. Central lung cancer is generally lung cancer caused by the bronchi or trachea. The pathological biopsy results are mostly squamous cell lung cancer. Since the disease will irritate the bronchi or trachea, most patients will experience uncomfortable symptoms such as sputum and cough. If the disease is not controlled, it may invade adjacent tissues and easily metastasize to distant places. In severe cases, it will pose a major threat to the patient's life and health.

4. If you suspect you have lung cancer, you need to go to the thoracic surgery department for chest CT, puncture biopsy, physical examination, etc. Based on the examination results, the cause of the disease can be determined and targeted treatment can be carried out. During the treatment, the patient also needs to adjust his mentality and not be in a depressed state for a long time, otherwise it may affect the doctor's follow-up treatment. He should also pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, and try not to go to crowded places.
