How can effectively prevent lung cancer

Of the world's lung cancer incidence and mortality in the first, and the incidence of lung cancer in China is first in the world. Male lung cancer incidence rate than women, but in recent years the incidence of women increased rapidly, making the incidence ratio of men and women gradually narrow (about 2:1).
These people susceptible to lung cancer:

1.40 and above, especially 50 to 70 years in the elderly, and a history of smoking.

2. AIDMO workers, long-term exposure to radioactive substances and a family history of cancer who.

Lung cancer clues:

Cough about 2 / 3 of lung cancer patients have such symptoms. Can be a mild cough, it can also be a serious cough, sputum ranging from the number. Once the long-term patients with chronic cough cough nature of change, such as the frequency or a dry cough irritation, it is necessary to guard against lung cancer.

Hemoptysis about half of the lung cancer patients have such symptoms. 40-year-old man was smoking more than once the bloody sputum, Blood-streaked phlegm or small blood clots, lung cancer is the possibility of a large, this is also one of the early symptoms of lung cancer.

Intermittent chest pain is not keen Duntong drilling or pain, and sustainable for a few minutes to a few hours. Such as cancer and pleural invasion is more intense pain, continuous and fixed.

Fever male smokers over the age of 45 long-term lung inflammation fever, poor treatment of lung cancer are particularly alert to the possibility.

Pestle-like means, also known as the dark Chui means, for that performance, the first toe joint mast, the nail bends change processes, often accompanied with pain. Foreign reports, 21 percent of lung cancer early with pestle fingers, and most of the disappeared after lung cancer surgery.

And pestle-like arthritis often refers to co-exist. Performance for the migration of arthritis symptoms, elbow, knee, wrist, ankle, means burning palm-like joint pain, activities obstacles may arise edema and tibia, fibula bone hyperplasia, after lung cancer surgery pain can disappear.

Male Female Male breast milk that unilateral or bilateral increased as women. A Pei, and other Japanese scholars investigating 267 cases of lung cancer found in men women accounted for 7.5%, milk, often prone to neglect or even misdiagnosed as simple breast hyperplasia was surgical excision.

Multiple Zhoushen Myositis about 85 percent ahead of the typical symptoms of lung cancer, for the performance of sexual Zhoushen weakness, anorexia, can add to difficulties in walking, difficulty from the bed.

Early detection of lung cancer ways:

1. Classified as high-risk groups should focus on the census population of lung cancer, every six months to one year inspection 1.

2. Shiyan, in particular the elderly, such as the above suspicious symptoms, should be timely to go to the hospital for chest X-ray pictures, such as CT or check. It is worth noting that about 15 percent of lung cancer patients have no early symptoms. Therefore, every year for the elderly in a chest X-ray photo inspection, early detection of lung cancer have a positive significance.

Yizhi lung cancer unfavorable factors:

1. Smoking: cigarettes and smoke contains over 3,000 kinds of chemical substances. Of which there are over 40 kinds of carcinogenic substances, more than 10 kinds of cancer induced. Smoking is, the longer the time, the higher the risk of lung cancer, a study that smoking domestic index (that is, daily smokers by smoking count the number of years) in 400 or more, or daily smoking more than 20 of the 45-year-old above the crowd, were considered high-risk population is lung cancer.

2. Occupational factors: epidemiology, etiology and experiment proved to be carcinogenic properties of substances are: inorganic arsenic, asbestos, chromium, nickel, coal tar, dichloro-dimethyl ether, chlorine ether, ethylene dichloride, and so on. And professional environment in contact with the carcinogenic substances and smoking, lung cancer risk of a further increase.

3. Air pollution: With industrial development, atmospheric pollution in many carcinogens the extent of even more serious. Poor indoor ventilation in the circumstances coal-fired cooking or heating food can cause indoor air pollution, indoor smoke and cooking fumes from female lung cancer may be one of the risk factors. The lung cancer incidence rates between rural and urban areas also prompted air pollution and lung cancer related to the occurrence.

4, ionizing radiation: exposure to radon and its sub-ray of the environment within the miners, increased risk of lung cancer.

5, other risk factors: the past suffering from tuberculosis and other lung diseases.

Warning

Of the world's lung cancer incidence and mortality in the first, and the incidence of lung cancer in China is first in the world.

Male lung cancer incidence rate than women, but in recent years the incidence of women increased rapidly, making the incidence ratio of men and women gradually narrow (about 2:1).

Low Level Cadmium Exposure Linked To Lung Disease...Science Daily reported on August 20 that new research suggests that cadmium is one of the critical ingredients causing emphysema, and even low-level exposure attained through second-hand smoke and other means may also increase the chance of developing lung disease. http://www.chantixhome.com/
