Most lung cancer patients only have a few months from diagnosis to death. This is because people lack lung cancer screening. The patients have already developed to the middle and late stages when they are confirmed. At this time, the treatment effect is relatively poor, and the survival environment opportunity is relatively low. The main problem of how long lung cancer patients can survive depends on whether students can truly achieve early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment. It is important to identify early symptoms of lung cancer.
Symptoms of early lung cancer:
1.Cough . Cough is a common symptom of lung cancer because lung cancer cells grow in bronchial lung tissue, stimulating the airway, causing asphyxiation. Most patients with lung cancer will experience cough symptoms, which are manifested as dry cough, sputum cough, long-lasting and high frequency of cough, and even severe cough with bloody sputum.
2. Chest and back pain. On the one hand, the tumor of lung cancer continues to grow, causing the chest and back to feel pressure, so chest and back pain will occur. On the other hand, as the cough worsens, the pain in the chest and back becomes more and more obvious.
3. The voice was hoarse. Lung cancer metastasizes to the supraclavicular lymph nodes, which can lead to some inflammation in the glottis and pharynx, a lump in the neck or a hoarse voice can be obvious.
4. Hemoptysis. This is a common symptom of advanced lung cancer, and when tumors are necrotic, it can cause capillaries. Blood vessels rupture, resulting in blood or hemoptysis in the sputum.
When symptoms appear before treatment, regular screening should be carried out to kill them in the cradle. For people over 40 years old, people with long-term smoking habits, people with a family history of lung cancer, people with a history of lung disease or tumor disease, people working in mines or in particularly contaminated environments, etc. Lung cancer screening should be carried out regularly according to your own situation.
In daily study and life, in addition to paying attention to some symptoms, regularly organize lung cancer screening, try to stay away from the factors that cause lung cancer, do not smoke, drink less, and develop a healthy living behavior habit.
