What are the diagnostic methods for lung cancer? Lung cancer has these three high-risk factors

Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the human lungs. It has a high incidence rate and causes death very quickly. It can be said that it is very harmful to people's health. Generally speaking, once patients are found to have lung cancer, they will go to the hospital for treatment as soon as they are diagnosed with lung cancer. It is conceivable how much people fear lung cancer.

Generally speaking, lung cancer is a common malignant tumor in human lung diseases. However, its incidence rate is also rising rapidly, seriously harming people's health and easily causing death. Lung cancer can generally be divided into several types, including peripheral, central, diffuse, intraductal, nodular, massive and diffuse infiltrative types. Among them, according to the different symptoms suffered by different patients, if the patient is found to have lung cancer, he should take treatment immediately, otherwise the condition will become more serious and even life-threatening.

Generally speaking, there are many reasons for the occurrence of lung cancer, and these are also some of the things we are exposed to in life. So let us understand what are the high-risk factors that lead to lung cancer.

First, smoking. Smoking can be said to be very harmful to people's bodies, because the chemical substances in the smoke will cause great harm to various organs in the body after entering the human body, especially the lungs. Therefore, people who smoke for a long time are most likely to develop lung cancer.

Second, occupational factors. Lung cancer is actually caused by many reasons. Some occupational factors are also the main cause of lung cancer, such as the rubber industry, asbestos industry, vinyl chloride polymerization workers, etc. These are greatly likely to cause lung cancer because the chemicals they contain seriously damage human cells and induce the occurrence of various diseases.

Third, lung diseases. Many patients with lung diseases, such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, bronchiectasis and other lung diseases, if not treated promptly and better, may easily develop cancer, thereby inducing the occurrence of lung cancer.

In life, once a patient is found to have lung disease, the first thing he should think of is how to treat it. Therefore, the examination and diagnosis before treatment are the most important. For example, 1. X-ray examination can be said to be the most common examination method and a very important examination. It can clearly confirm whether the patient has some lung-related diseases through the film. 2. Bronchoscopy examination. Bronchoscopy is very useful for the diagnosis of lung cancer. It can make a clear treatment plan based on the location and range of the patient's tumor. 3. CTpET examination. This examination is a relatively high-tech examination method. It has a very accurate judgment on the diagnosis of benign and malignant lung cancer, and its accuracy rate can be said to be over 95%.

Lung cancer is a very dangerous disease, so if you feel unwell, especially if you often cough, you must go to the hospital for a physical examination in time. If you are diagnosed with lung cancer, you must undergo chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery in time, so that you can control the disease to a certain extent. For patients who are discovered early, there is still hope of being cured, so you must pay more attention to physical care, which is also beneficial for the prevention and control of the disease.
