Lung cancer is a common primary malignancy tumor in the lungs, with both morbidity and mortality Very high and rising. Although the disease is not contagious, it has certain familial aggregation and genetic susceptibility.
People with this disease will not only have symptoms such as cough, chest pain, hemoptysis, but also black and smelly strong> and other abnormal symptoms. So where are the main parts of the black and stinky places in patients with this disease?
1. Black nose
The nose is closer to the lungs and can be said to be the gateway to the lungs. Generally, people with healthy lungs have a lustrous and rosy skin around the nose and surrounding skin. However, if the disease occurs, the nose will appear black symptoms. The darker the color, the more serious the patient is.
In addition, this symptom may be mistaken for blackheads, so it is recommended to pay attention to it, check it in time, and be alert to the possibility of the disease.
2. Black tongue
The average human tongue is flexible, soft and reddish in color. However, if you have the condition, it can cause blackening of the tongue, and even stiff and inflexible.
Therefore, if you don’t usually eat some darker foods and your tongue turns black for a long time, you should be alert to the possibility of the disease and seek medical attention in time.
3. Mouth odor
The odor is mostly putty. If you smoking regularly, people with the disease will often have a smoke smell in the mouth. These odors became more pronounced when the dead space volume in smoking patients increased further to produce pathological dead space.
Therefore, if the mouth often emits a putrid odor, it is necessary to be alert to the occurrence of the disease, especially for people who smoke frequently.
These are places where people with cancerous lungs may smelt and turn black on their bodies. When abnormality is found in these places, the patient should seek medical attention in time for relevant examinations. After checking, the corresponding treatment will be carried out. So how should the disease be treated?
1. Surgery
Cancer surgery includes thoracotomy, thoracoscopy, etc. The former has larger surgical wound, longer recovery time and more complications strong>. While the latter has less trauma and pain, lower blood loss and faster recovery after surgery.
Because of the broader field of view of this type of surgery, it is convenient for doctors to perform more delicate and complex operations, and it can inhibit the patient’s loss of respiratory function >, reduce the occurrence of related complications.
2. Drugs
Drugs for the treatment of this disease include gefitinib, bevacizumab, crizotinib, etc., all of which belong to molecular targeting Drugs have specific effects, which can make tumor cells die in patients without affecting normal tissues, significantly prolonging the life cycle of patients.
However, prior to these drug treatments, a genetic test of the patient’s tissue or blood at night is required to determine whether there is a driver gene and its driver gene. strong>type of mutation exists.
In summary, when lung cancer is present, the nose and tongue will be darkened. And mouth stinks. When these abnormal phenomena are found, the patient should undergo chest X-ray, CT, thoracoscopy, mediastinoscopy, pathology and other inspections in time. After the examination is clear, the patient can be treated with surgery or targeted drugs.
Of course, after treatment, patients should also take care to avoid exposure to smoking, air pollution, ionizing radiation and other pathogenic factors. At the same time, pay more attention to rest, moderate exercise, and correct bad living habits.
