I am in my fifties, it is the age of the old and the young. Parents need to take care of them, and children who are just entering work need to worry about who will be at this critical time. You don’t want your body to be in trouble. However, the tragedy fell on Mr. Wang mercilessly.

Mr. Wang has the habit of smoking since he was young, and he has maintained the habit of one pack for so many years. . From young to middle age, there has been no problem, and there are few physical examinations during this period.

I don’t know when Mr. Wang appearedcough , but the cough is not severe. There are a few smokers who don’t cough. He didn’t take this symptom to heart at all. Laterthe cough worsened< /strong>Now, at the urging of his family to check, he found a big problem.

After examination, Mr. Wang has a tumor in his lungs, which has metastasized.

Besides a little cough, I have no other symptoms. This cough is indeed a long time, but how did I get lung cancer? The doctor said that the tumor could have been found if it had been checked earlier.

Early screening for cancer patients How important is it to say?

Cancer has little effect on the body before it grows, so symptoms are not easy to appear, which also leads to many people not saying when they are diagnosed< strong>Not normally conscious. In fact, it is not only lung cancer, but many cancers are like this. It may be because it is small in size and does not invade many tissues, so people are neglected.

Early screening not only finds tumors, but also providesprecise treatment, it’s like marking the mines buried in the body, the doctor only needs to clear the mines. Many examinations are very convenient to do. Quickly, you can draw blood, lie down on the instrument, and you can know whether there are cancer cells in the body and where they are, and then provide the doctor with a preliminary treatment plan.

In terms ofcost and survival, It is also a day and a day. No matter how expensive the inspection fee is, it will not be more expensive than the cost of surgery, and no matter how expensive the surgery is, it will not be more expensive than the price of chemotherapy and new drugs. The sooner treatment is done, the better it is for the patient, with less time, cost, and economy, while at the same time surviving to the greatest chance of survival.

The symptoms of early lung cancer are similar to those of respiratory diseases, and the three symptoms are very similar Common, don’t ignore

• Cough is very common, not necessarily a cold, but also lung cancer
• Chest tightness and pain are very common, not necessarily a heart problem, but also lung cancer
• Blood-colored secretions in sputum may not necessarily be inflammation of the throat, but may also be ruptured blood vessels in the lungs

common inflammation and In fact, the difference between early stage tumors is not too big. These symptoms cannot be ignored. When you find them, you should sound the alarm. It is best to have a physical examination. Don’t wait. Only noticed when.

Advanced lung cancer, what may I experience?

The pain is so severe that painkillers don’t help

After the tumor has progressed to a certain extent, the painkillers are no longer effective. The pain is so painful that I can’t sleep or eat. I am very irritable, lethargic, and physically very weak. The patient’s body will become thinner and thinner due to less food and severe pain.

Severe suffocation, smooth breathing becomes a luxury

In advanced stage of lung cancer, you will understand how much it is to be able to breathe smoothlyHow happy, some patients are in serious condition, and there is no way to continue treatment. They can only use oxygen cylinders to relieve suffocation. As the disease progresses, even oxygen may not be relieved in the end, until the lungs completely lose their function, which is very painful.

Decreased food and bowel movements

It seems that only one organ in the lung is damaged, but in fact, it will metastasize in the late stage. At that time, the patient’s digestive ability was very weak, and there was no desire to eat. He might not be able to eat or drink for more than ten days. He could only hang water, and the intestinal peristalsis was very slow, and there was no feces.

In a word, terminal cancer patients are very painful, we can only try to make the patients dignified and less painful, how long can they live in the end, and The patient’s treatment method, physical function, economic and nutritional support are all related, and they do not want lung cancer to come to the door.

Still reminding everyoneto avoid tobacco exposure , the radioactive substances and carcinogens among them are very harmful to the lungs. In addition, when you go out and work, you must also pay attention to the protection of pollution sources. The new house is decorated at home, so don’t be so anxious to move in. Female friends should pay attention to soot, suffocation and other issues.

Knowledge extension: 100 smokers, how many people will there be in the end Got lung cancer?

This question may be something that many old smokers want to know but are afraid to know, but finally know the result, whether it can help you quit smoking, then you can’t do it. Got it.

A study 18 years ago answered this question more than most people think:< strong>Daily smoking volume>5, the probability of dying from lung cancer at age 75 is 25%.

converted to 100 people, which is equivalent to25 people< span>To be killed by cigarettes, the study was published in the British Journal of Cancer, which is authoritative.

In fact, this data is very real and it is not difficult to understand. It can be seen from the current lung cancer and smoking data that among the many lung cancer patients,< /span>Nearly half are related to smoking, and the number of deaths from lung cancer is as high as millions.

Therefore, when you take out the cigarette and light it, think about these data, whether you will regret it decades later. If you decide to quit smoking now, then congratulations, you are more progressive than most smokers. For those who are not over 35 years old, now is a good time to quit smoking. It is easy to recover later. For those who are over 60 years old, As long as it has not developed into lung cancer, there is still the possibility of recovery, and the road ahead is long. I hope everyone quit smoking as soon as possible and can walk in a healthy way.
