How to avoid lung cancer? Five tips to help you prevent lung cancer

The main cause of lung cancer is environmental factors. For example, air pollution leads to poor air quality, long-term smoking and second-hand smoke. Therefore, preventing and controlling air pollution and quitting smoking are important for preventing lung cancer. In view of the causes of lung cancer, the following are specific prevention methods.

(1) Control of air pollution

Do a good job in environmental protection and effectively control air pollution, so as to achieve the goal of preventing lung cancer.

(2) Prohibition and control of smoking:

To ban and control smoking, we must first focus on reducing the proportion of smokers in the population. We need to formulate certain laws or regulations to restrict people, especially teenagers, from smoking.

(3) Occupational protection

Effective protective measures should be taken in mining areas where radioactive ores are mined to minimize the amount of radiation workers are exposed to. For workers exposed to carcinogenic compounds, various effective labor protection measures must be taken to avoid or reduce contact with carcinogenic factors.

(4) Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment

The screening methods for early lung cancer are still unsatisfactory. The cost of screening for lung cancer in the population is very expensive, and the possibility of reducing lung cancer mortality is very small.

(5) Prevent and treat tracheitis and chronic bronchitis

It is important to remind you that the risk of lung cancer in patients with chronic bronchitis is much higher than that in patients without chronic bronchitis. Therefore, if you have chronic bronchitis, you should quit smoking because your risk of lung cancer is already very high.
