Diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer
Lung cancer is a disease caused by uncontrolled growth of anomalous pulmonary cells, with common symptoms such as cough, glitches, respiratory difficulties, fever, asthma, etc. The morbidity and mortality of lung cancer is the third highest among malignant neoplasms in the country, with a rate of 573.3 per 100,000 cases, an upward trend in China, with more men than women,3 most patients diagnosed over 65 years of age, and 47.3 per cent of patients diagnosed with lung cancer have seen a transfer, most often to the brain, liver and bones, 4 leading to headaches, nausea and bone pain.
What are the causes of lung cancer:
1: Smoking and passive second-hand smoke1 and the risk of lung cancer among smokers is 2.77 times higher than among non-smokers
Two: The history of individual tumours, who have other malign neoplasms in the past, may carry an abnormal genetic mutation that increases the risk of lung cancer.
3: The population in the history of the lung cancer family may have hereditary lung cancer susceptibility points.
4: Occupational exposure, with various special occupational exposures, increases the risk of lung cancer, including asbestos, radon, beryllium, chrome, cadmium, nickel, silicon, coal smoke and soot.
5: History of chronic pulmonary diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, tuberculosis and chronic pulmonary diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis
6. Air pollution: e.g. PM2.5; Chemical pollution: e.g. formaldehyde, asbestos, silicon dioxide, arsenic, etc.
How can lung cancer be diagnosed?
Laboratory examination: Before treatment, the patient needs to undergo routine laboratory testing (e.g., blood, biochemical, etc.) to understand the general condition of the patient and the suitability for appropriate treatment
2 Visual screening 1: X-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclide imaging, PET-CT etc. are the best way to detect and evaluate tumours without creating them.
3 pathological biopsies, tissue biopsies, pulmonary cancer pathological diagnosis, mainly identified tumours and tumour types
Based on visual results, lung cancer can be assessed in three dimensions.
T (tumours): Determine the extent of the original tumor. Lung cancer can occur anywhere in the lungs.
N (lymph nodes): Determines whether it spreads to regional lymph nodes. It’s a common characteristic of lung cancer.
M (transfer): Determines whether the transfer is far away. Primary lung cancer can be transferred to any organ, and the most common areas of transfer are brain, liver and bones.
What are the types of lung cancer?
Non-small cell lung cancer – about 80% of all lung cancer, divided into large cell cancer, gland cancer, and scabie cancer.
Large cell cancer: Big cell cancer accounts for 9% of non-small cell lung cancer Males and smokers • Rare malignant tumours, prognosis
gland cancer: most common lung cancer type, 40% ~ 55%1
Specular cancer: 30-40 per cent of non-small cell lung cancer, which is generally believed to have originated in the plastering of the bronchial catheter after smoking has been irritated, has been partially re-emerged after surgery, has few genes driven by cancer and has little effect on the treatment of the target.
Small cell lung cancer — about 15 percent of all lung cancer. With regard to smoking, high levels of malignity, early relapse, high death rates and poor pre-pregnancy, immunization combined chemotherapy is now standard treatment.
What are the treatments for lung cancer?
1: The early 1930s were dominated by surgery.
2: In the mid-1960s, mainly chemotherapy.
3:1950 joined the rehab.
4: Target treatment started in 2006
5: Immunization treatment has brought breakthroughs for advanced lung cancer treatment
