1. Imaging examination

Early lung cancer can be diagnosed through imaging examinations. Generally speaking, CT and chest X-ray examinations are commonly used clinical examination methods. These two imaging methods can help patients understand the growth site and size of early lung cancer, and can also clarify the infiltration of surrounding tissues. They are one of the important means of early detection of lung cancer.

2. Endoscopic examination

Endoscopes include bronchoscopes, mediastinoscopes, thoracoscopes, etc. These endoscopic examination methods are the main methods for diagnosing lung cancer. During the examination, we can intuitively understand the specific conditions of the bronchi, mediastinal lymph nodes, and chest. It can not only identify early lung cancer, but also effectively distinguish the type and severity of lung cancer. Based on this, appropriate treatment plans can be taken to effectively treat the condition.

During the detection process, the diseased tissue needs to be extracted first, and then the tissue is tested in a targeted manner. If the person being diagnosed has a disease, we can find abnormalities immediately. The diagnosis is very fast. At the same time, the specific situation of active lung tissue can also be clarified, which is an important criterion for diagnosing lung diseases.
