How to check lung cancer more accurately? Do four tests to confirm lung cancer

Lung cancer requires multiple tests to be diagnosed, including blood draws, chest CT scans, bronchoscopy, etc. Once lung cancer is diagnosed, it is necessary to pay attention to active treatment, and surgical treatment is the best method. At the same time, patients are reminded to follow the doctor's instructions during the treatment process and understand the pathological characteristics through examinations, so that the symptomatic treatment plan can be determined based on the results.

In daily life, the incidence of many diseases is increasing, especially cancer, which makes many people very afraid. For example, lung cancer is a common disease in clinical practice. The early symptoms are mainly cough, chest pain, fever, etc. However, how to diagnose the disease should be based on multiple aspects. Let's learn about the four examination methods for lung cancer.

First, chest CT examination should be performed for early stage lung cancer. It is recommended to perform regular low-dose spiral CT scans of the chest in areas with a high incidence of lung cancer. Clinically, early detection and treatment are very important. Based on years of experience, it is believed that surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible. The 5-year survival rate of early stage lung cancer is 80%, and the 5-year survival rate of patients with middle and late stage lung cancer is 30%.

Second, traditional lung cancer screening methods include chest X-rays and chest fluoroscopy, but they can only screen for advanced lung cancer. In fact, there are many factors that cause lung cancer, such as smoking, exposure to carcinogens, previous lung diseases, air pollution, and genetics. In order to analyze the causes clearly, patients need to understand the relevant examinations. After all, only by analyzing the causes of the disease can we receive treatment as soon as possible and promote faster recovery from the disease.

Third, lung cancer examination includes imaging examination and pathological examination. Imaging examination includes chest X-ray anteroposterior and lateral films. Only through this examination can we understand the benign or malignant degree of lung cancer, tumor size and the impact on adjacent organs, which is of great significance for determining the treatment plan in the later stage.

Fourth, reasonable examination is the most effective way to detect early lung cancer. For example, MRI is mainly used to understand the tumor in the superior pulmonary sulcus, while ultrasound and bone scan are used to determine whether there is metastasis in other parts. Secondly, sputum cytology, bronchoscopy, and mediastinoscopy are all performed to confirm the disease, which is of great significance for determining the treatment plan in the later stage.
