How to check for lung cancer? There are these methods

Lung cancer examination methods include: routine blood test, four tumor examinations, chest CT, chest X-ray, puncture biopsy, bronchoscopy, etc. In addition, lung cancer patients often experience coughing, coughing up blood, dyspnea and other discomforts. If you experience such symptoms and they are not easy to relieve, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor that seriously threatens the health and life safety of the public. Not only is the incidence and mortality rate increasing, but the early symptoms are mild or asymptomatic, so it is easy for patients to ignore it, thus missing the best time for treatment. Here we will take you to understand what methods can be used to check for lung cancer?
1. Routine blood tests and four tumor tests <br/>Lung cancer can be checked through routine blood tests and four tumor tests. If the test results show that the values ​​of tumor substances are significantly elevated, it means that there is a high possibility of tumor disease and a more detailed examination is needed.
2. Chest CT and chest X-ray examinations <br/>When a routine blood test finds the possibility of a tumor, chest CT or chest X-ray can be used to further determine the location of the lung tumor. Enhanced CT can also be used to further confirm the diagnosis.
3. Biopsy <br/>After the location of the lung tumor is found, a more similar pathological analysis can be performed through biopsy to determine the type of tumor and the severity of the disease. If it is determined to be a malignant tumor, a detailed whole-body examination is required to rule out the spread and metastasis and to control it in time.
4. Bronchoscopy <br/>Bronchoscopy can most intuitively detect whether the patient has a mass or obstruction, and can also extract some tissue components for more advanced pathological analysis and testing. However, the patient will feel discomfort during the bronchoscopy operation, and some patients may feel severe pain or even have a rejection reaction.
In addition to the above-mentioned examination methods, most patients will experience symptoms such as coughing, difficulty breathing, sputum, and even coughing up blood after being diagnosed with lung cancer. If such symptoms occur and are not easily relieved by taking medication, you should pay attention and go to the hospital for relevant examinations immediately.
Through the above introduction, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding and knowledge of the examination methods for lung cancer. I hope that everyone can undergo regular physical examinations and strengthen physical fitness by exercising to effectively prevent the occurrence of the disease and ensure the health and safety of the body.
