What are the common symptoms of lung cancer? What are the 4 common examination methods for lung cancer?

Lung cancer needs to be diagnosed through many tests, including symptom check, blood test, chest CT, bronchoscopy, etc. If lung cancer is confirmed, it is necessary to pay attention to early treatment, and surgical treatment will be more effective. During treatment, you should regulate your emotions and promote physical recovery.

Nowadays, the incidence of many diseases in life is constantly increasing, especially cancer. This makes people feel worried. A comprehensive understanding is conducive to the discovery and treatment of the disease. For example, lung cancer, the early symptoms include cough, chest pain, fever, etc. When you have these symptoms, you should pay attention and do relevant examinations. So how to check lung cancer?

1. Symptom Check

The first step is to check symptoms. If you have symptoms of coughing and expectoration for a long time and they are prone to recurrence, if they cannot be relieved for a long time and are accompanied by chest pain, hemoptysis and other symptoms, you should be alert to the occurrence of serious lung diseases and conduct corresponding examinations in time.

2. Blood test

Secondly, blood tests can be performed. For example, to check for some lung tumors, blood routine tests and sputum culture tests are required. If the lung tumor marker level is high and the increase is large, it means that the possibility of tumor occurrence is high, and the next step should be timely examination.

3. Chest CT

Once again, a chest CT scan can be performed to check if the patient has lung cancer. Checking the chest CT scan for masses that are wide and irregular in shape can improve the CT judgment line. At the same time, a biopsy can be performed for pathological examination to determine the type and severity of the tumor. Once lung cancer is diagnosed, the color of the CT scan or other parts of the body must exceed the scope of the examination to see if there is metastasis to other parts.

4. Bronchoscopy

Finally, bronchoscopy can be used to directly observe the tumor and to obtain some tissue for pathological examination.

The above methods can more accurately diagnose lung cancer. At the same time, timely and effective treatment must be carried out after diagnosis, because time is very important for cancer patients. The earlier the corresponding treatment is carried out, the more obvious the final effect will be. For patients with early lung cancer, surgical treatment can be selected during treatment to completely remove the lesions. They must cooperate well during treatment.

It is very important to maintain an optimistic attitude. If you are in a state of sadness for a long time, are too nervous, or too anxious, your body will be in a sub-healthy state, and it will also aggravate the condition and affect the treatment of the disease.
