What does high non-small cell lung cancer antigen mean?

Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, in clinical medicine, there has not been a very comprehensive explanation for the problem of high non-small cell lung cancer antigen, but there are generally many related clinical symptoms, such as obvious respiratory characteristics, difficulty breathing, and severe hemoptysis. The disease can be basically confirmed based on the relevant data.

According to relevant data, lung cancer is the cancer with the highest mortality and recurrence rate in the world. There are many causes of lung cancer, which may exist in daily life. The organ structure of the lungs is relatively complex. Once a problem occurs, it needs to be handled and treated in time. So, what does the problem of high non-small cell lung cancer antigen mean in clinical medicine?
1. Clinical medical explanation <br/>Clinically speaking, there is no such thing as non-small cell lung cancer antigen. In terms of marker antigens for lung cancer, more emphasis is placed on specificity. Because non-small cell lung cancer is a general term for a large class of lung cancer cells, there are no particularly sensitive and specific markers. Therefore, in the detection, the specificity of this antigen and related indicators are basically not considered, and the reference value is not great. All situations need to be divided according to the actual problems of the patients, and cannot be carried out blindly.
2. Clinical symptoms <br/>The early clinical symptoms of non-small cell lung cancer are few and mild. Non-small cell lung cancer is difficult to be detected early clinically. If there are obvious respiratory symptoms, such as dyspnea and severe hemoptysis, the patient's disease stage is generally in the middle and late stages, so many doctors hope to detect early tumors by checking tumor markers. For non-small cell lung cancer, if its antigen is high, it does not necessarily mean that it has lung cancer. In addition to detailed lung examinations, such patients should also follow up on tumor antigens.
3. Related classification <br/>Under normal circumstances, lung cancer is divided into two major categories: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. The two types are difficult to distinguish based on clinical manifestations alone. However, compared with non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer still has certain characteristics. Small cell lung cancer is prone to lymph node or brain metastasis, and most of the onset age is relatively young. It can cause paraneoplastic syndrome, such as diarrhea, sudden facial flushing, skin itching and other symptoms.
