Is lung cancer a chronic disease

summary

I used to like smoking very much. Now I grow up, and my work pressure is very high. I always rely on smoking to reduce blood pressure. As a result, I have been coughing recently. I didn't know I had lung cancer until I coughed and bled. Today, let me talk about whether lung cancer is a chronic disease.

Is lung cancer a chronic disease

First, cancer has become the leading cause of death in China. It is not difficult to see that the mortality rate of cardiovascular disease is equal to that of cancer, but most people are calm about cardiovascular disease and turn pale when talking about cancer. Their fear of cancer far exceeds that of cardiovascular disease and other chronic diseases, and the root cause of fear is the public's ignorance and misunderstanding of cancer.

Second, cancer has the common characteristics of chronic diseases, such as complex etiology, multiple risk factors, long-term latent, long course of disease, dysfunction and so on, and it is far more common than people think. As early as the 1980s, it was reported in the United States that in the autopsy of the 80 year old people, about 1 / 4 of them suffered from cancer, but these old people did not have any symptoms related to cancer before they died, and their death was also due to other diseases or reasons.

Third: cancer is actually a common disease accompanied by aging. In addition, generally speaking, the occurrence of most cancers is a long-term, gradual process, from normal cells to cancer cells to go through multiple stages, it is often difficult to find before the formation of cancer mass. Through early detection and standardized treatment, cancer can be controlled and cured.
