Mr. Yang never thought that there was almost no abnormality in his body, but he was found to have lung problems during the unit’s physical examination. Later, further examinations in the hospital confirmed the diagnosis of advanced lung cancer, and the large nodule in the lungs was 6.4 cm.

This kind of news made him unacceptable for a while, but after much consideration, he decided to be admitted to the hospital for active treatment. At this time, the lung tumor had grown to 8.1 cm.

Fortunately, thanks to the active treatment of the doctor, his persistent exercise, and the cooperation of a good attitude, the tumor has shrunk to about 3.5 cm, and the fight against lung cancer is relatively smooth.

1. Why is lung cancer at an advanced stage?

Most lung cancer patients are in the late stage as soon as they go to the doctor, resulting in unsatisfactory treatment effect. So why is the lung cancer in the late stage?

Because there are no obvious symptoms in the early stage of lung cancer, it is difficult to attract people’s attention. Relatively low, the missed diagnosis rate is also relatively high, and some lesions and nodules cannot be found in time, so it is recommended to use low-dose CT for screening.

Especially in people with a high incidence of lung cancer, annual low-dose CT screening is best< span>.

The number of pack years of smoking is greater than or equal to 20, passive smokers, people with underlying lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diffuse pulmonary fibrosis, people with a history of occupational exposure, people with lung cancer People with a family history of other malignant tumors belong to the high-risk group of lung cancer, and these groups must be regularly screened for lung cancer.

Second, if these abnormalities occur in the legs, beware of being found by lung cancer

When lung cancer comes, it will send out distress signals through different parts of the body. If you find the following abnormalities in the legs, be careful that it is the signal sent by lung cancer.

1. Inexplicable swelling

The blood vessels and nerves of the legs are rich, and cancer cells Once it is rampant, it is likely to invade the blood vessels and nerves, and most cancers will be accompanied by blood clots, causing inexplicable swelling and pain in the legs.

2. Lumps

Abnormal masses in the legs may be benign or May be malignant. If the symptoms are painless, hard texture, adhesion to surrounding tissues, fast growth, etc., be careful of signals from malignant tumors such as lung cancer.

3. Leg pain

Many lung cancer patients will have leg joint pain in the early stage In the middle and late stages, as the cancer cells invade the bone, it may cause bone pain, and with the further development of the disease, there may also be symptoms such as traction pain and reflex pain.

3. Quit smoking as soon as possible

Smoking and passive smoking are both high risk of lung cancer Therefore, we must quit smoking as soon as possible and stay away from the tobacco environment.

4. Occupational factor prevention

For professionals with high risk factors for lung cancer The prevention of occupational factors is very important, and it can also reduce the incidence of lung cancer.

5. Reducing environmental pollution

The impact of environmental pollution on human lung health is also It cannot be ignored, so we usually start from ourselves to protect the environment and reduce environmental pollution.

Most patients are in the late stage as soon as they go to the doctor, and there may be no obvious symptoms in the early stage, and the physical examination cannot be timely. Discovery and other factors are related. In fact, some abnormal symptoms in the legs may also be signals from lung cancer. Inexplicable swelling, lumps, and pains in the legs should be vigilant, and lung cancer prevention should be done in general.
