Causes of death in patients with lung cancer

summary

Uncle Biao has been coughing and suffering from chest pain recently. When he went to the hospital for examination, the doctor said that he was in the advanced stage of lung cancer. Now his condition has been controlled by treatment. For the cause of death of lung cancer patients, I will tell you.

Causes of death in patients with lung cancer

Reason 1: according to a large number of investigation data in various countries, the etiology of lung cancer is closely related to smoking paper cigarettes. The increase in lung cancer incidence rate is parallel to the increase in cigarette sales. Cigarette contains benzopyrene and other carcinogens. Inhalation of cigarette smoke or application of tar can induce respiratory tract and skin cancer in experimental animals. The incidence rate of lung cancer is 10 times higher than that of non-smokers. The incidence rate of smoking is higher than that of non smokers, which is 20 times higher than that of non-smokers.

Reason two: air pollution: the incidence rate of lung cancer in developed countries is high, the city is higher than the rural area, and the factory and mining area is higher than the residential area. The main reason is that the pollution of the atmosphere is caused by harmful substances such as benzopyrene carcinogenic hydrocarbon and other harmful substances produced by burning petroleum and coal and internal combustion engines after the burning of oil and coal and internal combustion engines. The survey materials showed that the incidence rate of lung cancer was also increased in the area where the concentration of benzopyrene in the atmosphere was high. Air pollution and cigarette smoking may increase the incidence rate of lung cancer and play a synergistic role.

Reason three: occupation factor: in the 30s of this century, there were reports of high incidence rate of lung cancer in European Schneeberg mining area. After years of investigation and research, it has been recognized that long-term exposure to uranium, pitch, chromium, mustard gas, copper, coal tar, radium and other radioactive substances and their derivatives, asbestos, carcinogenic hydrocarbons, petroleum, tin, iron, nickel, arsenic and other substances can induce lung cancer, mainly squamous cell carcinoma and undifferentiated small cell carcinoma.

matters needing attention

To the patients with advanced lung cancer, it is generally no longer recommended to use surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy for treatment. We can take some folk prescriptions or TCM conditioning methods for treatment and regulation. In this way, it is very helpful for patients to prolong life and relieve pain. In the late stage, patients with lung cancer may become indifferent and unwilling to speak. Family members must accompany patients and comfort them. When lung cancer is advanced, do not give patients some heavy taste food, must eat more light food.
