What are the ways to prevent small cell lung cancer

Many people now have the habit of having a physical examination every year, which not only allows them to know their physical condition in time, but also allows them to be diagnosed and treated in time if they really have some diseases. Therefore, many patients with small cell lung cancer can almost recover when they find the disease in the early stage. However, if they really want to recover and not have a recurrence, they must insist on taking preventive measures. So what are the ways to prevent small cell lung cancer?

Prevention of small cell lung cancer is better than cure, and prevention is mainly divided into three levels.

Primary prevention is for healthy people, mainly including not smoking and staying away from secondhand smoke pollution. Try to avoid outdoor air pollution and kitchen fumes. Choose environmentally friendly decoration materials. Eat a balanced diet, eat more grains, vegetables and fruits. Maintain an optimistic and positive attitude towards life and improve psychological adaptability.

Secondary prevention, early diagnosis and early treatment are aimed at high-risk groups, mainly long-term smokers over 40 years old, smokers for more than 20 years, smokers under 20 years old who start smoking and smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, people who are often exposed to coal smoke, coal tar and oil smoke, people who are exposed to excessive radiation (miners, etc.), people with chronic cough, blood in sputum and family history of lung cancer. It is best for high-risk groups to have regular comprehensive physical examinations every year, and CT examinations if conditions permit. If symptoms such as irritating cough, bloody sputum and hemoptysis occur, they should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

The third level of prevention is rehabilitation prevention. Lung cancer patients should follow the doctor's advice and go to the hospital for regular checkups. Many small cell lung cancers are discovered in a timely manner and can be completely cured through the doctor's treatment, but this does not mean that small cell lung cancer is completely cured, because postoperative prevention and care are also very important. Therefore, patients with small cell lung cancer should come to the hospital for regular checkups according to their condition, so that the disease can be cured more thoroughly and their psychological burden will be reduced.

The above is an introduction to the methods of preventing small cell lung cancer. I hope it can really help you.
