What are the dangers of small cell lung cancer

What are the dangers of small cell lung cancer? Many people don't know what the dangers of this disease are, but when they hear that it is cancer, they will feel very scared and always worry that they will not live long. So, let's learn about the dangers of small cell lung cancer!

At present, smoking is considered to be the most basic high-risk factor for small cell lung cancer. Tobacco contains more than 3,000 chemical substances, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds (such as benzopyrene) have strong carcinogenic activity. They can act on certain special enzymes in human tissues (especially lung tissues) to produce mutations in cell molecular structures (such as DNA), and there may be mutations in K-ras.

Small cell lung cancer risks:

1. It can cause tracheal obstruction in the patient, the disappearance of normal alveolar sac cavities, and affect the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The patient will feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.

2. Cancer can also make the patient unable to exclude bacteria, leading to pneumonia and fever. This type of pneumonia is called obstructive pneumonia.

3. Chest pain is one of the more common hazards of lung cancer. Pleural effusion may also occur. Excessive pleural effusion compresses the lungs, making it more difficult for the patient to breathe, and is quite difficult to treat.

4. If the lung tumor occupies a large part of lung cancer, it will seriously threaten the patient's breathing.

5. The occurrence of lung cancer seriously threatens the patient's life.

6. The nerves in the bronchi are quite sensitive. Cancer can irritate the bronchi, causing the patient to cough. If the condition persists for a long time, the patient may also develop symptoms of coughing up blood.

Patients with small cell lung cancer can no longer delay treatment. Only by conducting reasonable treatment as soon as possible can the patient's condition be controlled, and the harm and impact on the patient's body will be less. Patients can usually eat more fresh dates, hawthorn, various radishes, cabbage, etc., which will have a certain effect on the patient's physical recovery.
