Lung cancer has a very specific high-risk groups – the long-term heavy smoker. Medical Statistics data show that smoking index (number of years of smoking multiplied by the count of daily smokers, the unit for the years of support) of more than 400 of the population prevalence rate of lung cancer than non-smokers for more than 20 times higher. Another air pollution is also a high incidence of lung cancer as a risk factor information from around the world show that lung cancer incidence rate in urban than rural.

Also in old China’s Yunnan Province, and Ho is a high incidence of lung cancer, lung cancer, the two regions. Patients with lung cancer, mostly old tin mining workers, were considered to arsenic-based mineral dust and radon and radon daughters, and other harmful substances are inhaled the lungs are closely related. The incidence of lung cancer Xuanwei the lives of local coal, mostly bituminous coal has a lot to.

Due to poor treatment of advanced lung cancer, early diagnosis and early administration has become an important means of prevention and treatment of lung cancer.

How can I do it early diagnosis?

First, we advocate the residents over the age of 45 with annual physical examination, physical examination should include a lateral chest X-ray film X-positive. If you are a smoker, that is 35 years old, it should also participate in an annual physical examination. If you are a heavy smoker, smoke two packs a day, pumping for 30 years, 40 years, every six months to do a chest examination, which is simple, cost-effective early detection of lung cancer, the best approach. Conditional areas and units, for over 55 years of age should be carried out smokers with moderate to severe chest low-dose spiral CT screening.

Secondly, symptoms of treatment. If there is irritating dry cough, sputum with blood, with blood sputum, usually have cough, but the laws of cough, cough, not the same habits as before, and these symptoms to be alert to the hospital and timely treatment, chest X-ray film.

In our clinical work, often encountered in patients with lung cancer was misdiagnosed as tuberculosis or lung infections and other diseases, and thoracic surgeons to intervene, the disease has reached advanced, very distressing. To improve this situation, on the one hand should be high to enhance prevention and treatment of lung cancer, doctors of knowledge, continuing education, on the other hand to play a central multi-disciplinary strengths of lung cancer, lung cancer, members of the Center should include thoracic surgery, respiratory, oncology customers, radiology as well as the pathology departments and other medical personnel, patients with suspected lung cancer multi-disciplinary consultation, with early diagnosis and targeted to individual treatment. Also allows a comprehensive and multidisciplinary treatment of lung cancer into effect so. Capital University of Medical Treatment Center of lung cancer five years of operation mode is also ample proof of this point, to become a thoracic surgeon, thoracic surgical oncology specialists, to actively participate in anti-smoking and lung cancer prevention and control work and science advocacy.

In patients with lung cancer specialist out-patient to the hospital to see the former should first do some “homework” to prepare:

Recall that a careful treatment when the disease symptoms start to the process of change,

Examination and treatment in other hospitals the situation, seek can use simple, clear statement of the above within the limited time of lung cancer experts, clearly.

Treatment must not forget to bring the past, shooting at a local hospital imaging, including chest radiography, CT, NMR, etc. If you have received surgical treatment, should bring the relevant surgical records, pathology reports, if received chemotherapy, should be able to the expert provide chemotherapy, chemotherapy treatment, as well as the evaluation of effect of chemotherapy, such as changes in tumor size and blood tumor marker test results.

In order to avoid the hospital waiting room after the piece is too long, we must advance booking number of experts. Xuanwu Hospital Center, we have to take sub-period treatment of lung cancer.
