How to prevent small cell lung cancer

Now the country is also constantly looking for means and measures to manage the atmosphere, because the toxic gases in the atmosphere are very harmful to the human body. This is also an important reason why more and more people are suffering from small cell lung cancer. In addition to these, people now know a lot about some preventive measures for small cell lung cancer. For the sake of health, they usually pay more attention to prevention and health care in this regard. So how to prevent the occurrence of small cell lung cancer? Let us learn about it in detail.

1. Prohibit and control smoking

Foreign studies have proven that quitting smoking can significantly reduce the incidence of lung cancer, and the earlier you quit smoking, the more significant the reduction in lung cancer incidence. Therefore, quitting smoking is the most effective way to prevent lung cancer.

2. Protect the environment

Existing studies have shown that the exposure doses of air pollution, deposition index, smog index, benzopyrene, etc. are positively correlated with the incidence of lung cancer. Protecting the environment and reducing air pollution are important measures to reduce the incidence of lung cancer.

3. Prevention of occupational factors

It is generally recognized that many occupational carcinogens increase the incidence of lung cancer, and reducing exposure to occupational carcinogens can reduce the incidence of lung cancer.

4. Eat a healthy diet

Increasing vegetables, fruits, etc. in your diet can prevent lung cancer.

5. Exercise

Strengthening exercise, enhancing the body's disease resistance, and avoiding long-term stimulation of carcinogenic factors can reduce the incidence and prevent small cell lung cancer. After small cell lung cancer surgery, you must not do any exercise facing the strong wind, because the strong wind will directly stimulate the respiratory tract. It is best for patients to take some corresponding exercises to improve their body's immunity. If you get up every morning, you can do some Qigong exercises, especially Qigong that enhances respiratory function and improves lung function.

Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate lung infection from obstructive pneumonia caused by lung cancer blocking the bronchus. However, if pneumonia occurs multiple times in the same area, vigilance should be heightened and tumor blockage should be highly suspected. Sputum should be taken from the patient for cytology and fiberoptic tracheal examination. In some cases, when part of the lung inflammation is absorbed and the remaining inflammation is wrapped by fibrous tissue to form nodules or inflammatory pseudotumors, it is difficult to differentiate from peripheral lung cancer. Suspected cases should be subjected to exploratory thoracotomy.
