How to check for bronchial lung cancer? Learn about these

There are many ways to check for bronchial lung cancer, such as X-ray examination, chest fluoroscopy, tomography, CT, MRI, ultrasound, bone scan, PET-CT examination, etc. In addition, doctors can also make a diagnosis based on the patient's clinical symptoms, and perform histological and cytological pathological examinations when necessary.

Lung cancer is a very scary disease. After all, there is little hope of cure. Once you have lung cancer, it means that the patient's life will begin to count down. Therefore, people are very concerned about their lung health, and when some abnormal symptoms appear, they will associate it with cancer. So let's learn about the examination methods for bronchial lung cancer?
There are many ways to diagnose bronchogenic lung cancer. First, the doctor needs to ask the patient about his medical history and understand the patient's clinical symptoms in detail. Bronchogenic lung cancer can cause symptoms such as coughing, coughing up blood, chest pain, clubbing, and joint pain. If these symptoms exist, the doctor will recommend further examinations, such as X-ray examinations, chest fluoroscopy, and tomographic images. If necessary, CT, MRI, ultrasound, bone scans, PET-CT examinations, etc. can also be performed, and then these examination results can be combined to make a comprehensive judgment.
However, in clinical practice, doctors usually recommend patients to undergo 64-row spiral CT examination, which is of great significance for diagnosis. If the diagnosis is still not confirmed, bronchoscopy is needed. Bronchoscopy is the most effective means of diagnosing bronchial lung cancer. Through this examination, the direct symbol of the tumor can be directly observed. About 50%-70% of bronchial lung cancer patients can find new organisms under bronchoscopy, which is of great reference value for diagnosing the disease.
Secondly, lung cancer can also be diagnosed through histological and cytological examinations. There are many such methods, such as sputum to find cancer cells, percutaneous lung puncture cytology, mediastinoscopy, thoracoscopy, thoracotomy, etc. The specific examination to be done depends on the actual situation of the patient.
However, most of the time, these test results need to be combined to confirm the diagnosis. Doctors are more cautious and will not easily make a diagnosis. Through these examination items, we can also more clearly understand the extent of the disease. In fact, there is not much difference between bronchial lung cancer and lung cancer. Both are malignant tumors from epithelial tissue, and the treatment methods are similar. As long as active treatment is taken, the disease can be effectively controlled, so patients should not be discouraged.
