First of all: in the early stage of lung cancer can be detected by X-ray, early detection of lung cancer should be chest X-ray: X-ray chest film can detect the smallest diameter of about 1cm mass, this is the most economical and valuable examination method.

Secondly: early detection of lung cancer should be chest CT examination: can find small lesions 0.2-0.3cm mass; can find the heart, diaphragmatic angle covered lesions; can find the lung occult lesions.

Finally: sputum cytological examination: most patients with primary central lung cancer can find exfoliated cancer cells in sputum, and can determine the histological type of cancer cells. Therefore, sputum cytology is a simple and effective method for lung cancer screening and diagnosis.

matters needing attention

Lung cancer patients should have a positive and optimistic attitude to face and treat this disease. Fiberoptic or electronic bronchoscopy is generally not used for early screening of lung cancer, but for high-risk groups, patients with positive chest CT, or patients with moderate or severe atypical hyperplasia found by sputum cytology but negative by X-ray examination, bronchoscopy should be performed.
