What is the treatment for lung cancer? Three major preventive measures for lung cancer

Lung cancer is a very common malignant tumor of the bronchial mucosal epithelium. It is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, especially those who smoke for a long time or work in a dusty environment for a long time. The incidence of lung cancer is high worldwide, especially in China. Due to the development of industrialization, the incidence of lung cancer has gradually increased in recent years. Therefore, it is very important for friends to learn how to prevent it effectively.

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the bronchial mucosal epithelium. The disease is common in middle-aged and elderly people. In recent years, the incidence of lung cancer has been increasing year by year in countries around the world, especially in industrially developed countries. The early symptoms of the disease are not obvious, and symptoms such as coughing, hemoptysis, and coma will only appear in the late stage. Therefore, most patients are diagnosed in the late stage, and the mortality rate is very high, which has to attract the attention of our friends.

Clinically, the treatment of lung cancer varies according to its type, and is mainly divided into the treatment of small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. The specific treatment methods are: 1. Treatment of small cell lung cancer: Due to the biological characteristics of this type of lung cancer, chemotherapy is the first choice clinically to reduce and effectively control the spread of cancer cells through chemotherapy; 2. Non-small cell lung cancer: For this type of lung cancer, surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other methods are often used for comprehensive treatment. The cancer lesions are removed surgically, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy are used to kill the residual lesions as much as possible to control the spread of cancer cells.

Lung cancer has a high mortality rate. There is no cure for it, so prevention is the key. Today, experts will tell you about the methods and measures to prevent lung cancer:

1. Ban and control smoking, as smoking is an important factor in the occurrence of lung cancer.

2. The development of modern industry has caused dust, haze and other pollutants to seriously affect our living environment. At the same time, more and more people are becoming sick due to these environments. Therefore, it is urgent to reduce industrial pollution and environmental pollution.

3. Do regular physical examinations, especially for middle-aged and elderly people with high-risk factors such as long-term smoking and long-term work in dusty environments. Pay more attention to regular physical examinations to detect cancer lesions as early as possible and treat them in time.

In addition, relevant staff can vigorously carry out health education on lung cancer prevention and treatment, so that patients can be more vigilant and seek medical treatment as soon as possible if they find suspicious symptoms, so that the lesions can be discovered in time. For patients with the disease, they must keep a calm mind, stay cheerful and positive, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and believe that they can definitely overcome this disease.
