But this treatment may sometimes ignore the real lesions.
The cancer with the highest mortality rate-lung cancer
According to statistics, about 3 million people die of cancer every year in China, but nearly 700 thousand of them die of lung cancer.
In fact, if lung cancer can be found early and treated scientifically, the 5-year survival rate of patients can reach 100%.
However, lung cancer is not easy to find in the early stage, and it has reached the middle and late stage when it is diagnosed.
Even if some patients feel unwell, the symptoms are very similar to airway diseases, and they are easily misdiagnosed and treated by themselves.
You should know that cancer itself is a process of cell "rebellion". If not found and treated in the early stage, cancer cells will grow rapidly and become cancerous, and gradually infiltrate and metastasize to surrounding tissues, and finally get out of hand.
Even in the middle and late stage of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the survival rate of patients in the later stage will be significantly reduced within 5 years.
However, lung cancer is not completely silent. If the hands have the following symptoms, it may be that lung cancer has sounded the alarm.
Normal people's fingers should be slender and uniform in thickness. Once the lung becomes cancerous, the shape of the finger may change, which is clinically clubbed or drumstick.
The so-called clubbing refers to the abnormal proliferation and swelling of the patient's fingers or toes, and the nails will also change from the root to the end, resulting in abnormal uplift, but there is no severe pain.
The reason why lung cancer has this kind of performance is that a large number of lung cancer cells develop and block the lung airway.
In this case, the exhaust gas in the body can not be exchanged with fresh yang normally, and the blood vessels of fingers and toes at the ends of limbs get fresh blood supply. Coupled with the patient's own endocrine disorders, clubbing fingers will also find themselves.
Incomplete statistics show that about 20% of patients with early lung cancer have clubbing symptoms.
When the condition of lung cancer is controlled and gradually improved, clubbing fingers will be relieved and even fully recovered.
But we can't set the symptoms sensitively. Once clubbed fingers appear, we will blindly conclude that we have lung cancer.
Clubbed fingers are also symptoms of respiratory system, cardiovascular diseases, digestive system diseases and metabolic diseases. We take out clubbed fingers mainly to warn everyone: beware of symptoms, there is another possibility of finding cancer.
Of course, for lung cancer, in addition to clubbing, the following symptoms may also be the signal of the arrival of lung cancer:
First, a long-term incurable cough.
If cough symptoms suddenly appear recently, but there is no other respiratory discomfort, there is no obvious relief after taking cough medicine, and even cough up white sputum, hemoptysis, blood in sputum and so on. You should be vigilant.
Second, shoulder pain.
When the patient's lung apex becomes cancerous, with the growth of the cancer, it may cause compression on the peripheral brachial plexus and produce radiation pain, which spreads to the patient's shoulders and back, mainly stinging and dull pain.
In fact, 90% of lung cancer patients are related to smoking.
According to the relationship between tobacco and lung cancer in China, an average of 1 smokers died of lung cancer.
Nicotine in cigarettes is the "source of evil" of all this.
Everyone knows that smoking is addictive, and quitting smoking is more difficult than going to heaven, but whether you can quit smoking can't be completely convinced by others.
Quitting smoking, to put it bluntly, is your subjective consciousness. Only when you really think tobacco is bad can you give up smoking completely.
But many people don't realize the preciousness of life until it disappears.
