Can early lung cancer be treated

summary

An uncle who has a very good relationship with our family and his father are from the same unit. He was diagnosed with lung cancer in a physical examination. Fortunately, his condition is still in the early stage, and there is still a great possibility of treatment. Let's talk about whether early lung cancer can be treated.

Can early lung cancer be treated

First, the therapeutic effect of early lung cancer is completely different from that of advanced lung cancer. If early detection of lung cancer, about 80% of patients can be cured. Lung cancer is different from liver cancer or other cancers, treatment effect is relatively optimistic, early detection and treatment, patients can work and live normally.

Second: but the early symptoms of lung cancer is not obvious, except for the tumor growth site close to the organ and hilar, the patient will not have obvious discomfort. Therefore, the best way to detect lung cancer early is physical examination. There are many ways of lung cancer examination, including X-ray chest film, chest CT, pat CT and so on. President Wu Shixiu suggested that people over 40 years old with a history of smoking should have regular physical examination, and it is better to have a low-dose CT examination every year.

Third: ordinary CT can also, but the radiation itself will bring damage, especially for women's breast damage, not suitable for every year. Chest X-ray examination, easily blocked by ribs and other parts, affect the accuracy. Regular examination, the most appropriate or low-dose CT, if found abnormal lung, can be diagnosed by the doctor, to do further examination.

matters needing attention

This also tells us that timely physical examination is very important, because early lung cancer does not have some obvious symptoms, so we usually can not find it. If we let it develop, the possibility of treatment will be greatly reduced in the late stage.
