What are the means of checking lung cancer? There are two methods

There are many ways to check lung cancer, such as X-ray examination, CT examination, magnetic resonance imaging, etc. Lung cancer has a great impact on people, so we must pay attention to early detection and timely treatment.

Lung cancer is a disease that has a great impact on patients. Generally, it needs to be discovered in time and effectively treated in the early stages so that the disease can be controlled as early as possible to avoid the disease from worsening and becoming uncontrollable. In the early stages, doctors will use some examination methods to diagnose the disease. So what are the means of examining lung cancer?
1. Lung cancer is generally examined through X-rays. This examination method can better clarify the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer, make a qualitative examination, and obtain a pathological or cellular diagnosis, which includes many examinations, such as sputum examination, mediastinoscopy, puncture biopsy and other methods.
2. CT scans can also better scan the location of the pathology, as well as the severity of the pathology, and can also observe whether the disease has metastasized and the location of the metastasis. Magnetic resonance imaging, PET-CT, etc. can also be used for better examinations. These methods can better diagnose the disease, and through these examinations, it can be better judged whether the treatment method of the disease is needed, whether further examination is needed, etc.
The most common cytological examination methods include sputum examination, bronchoscopy, pleural effusion cytology, etc. The EGF mutation test and ALK translocation test are used to guide clinical treatment. Blood lung tumor marker examination is an auxiliary examination, which is very useful for treatment and follow-up.
There are many treatments for lung cancer, including surgical treatment, chemotherapy, Western medicine treatment, important treatment, targeted treatment, etc. Once pneumonia is discovered, smoking cessation is necessary to prevent serious effects on the patient.
The above is an explanation of what are the means of checking lung cancer? Lung cancer seriously affects physical and mental health, so we must pay attention to raising vigilance and treat it as soon as possible when the disease is discovered in the early stage. We must also do a good job of prevention in daily life to prevent infection with the disease. And we can make the correct treatment in time.
