I. Prohibition and control of smoking
The wisest way to prevent lung cancer is to stay away from cigarettes and cigarettes. Not only don't smoke, but also don't let yourself get second-hand smoke. Even in public places, try to avoid smokers and avoid the harm of second-hand smoke. Relevant data show that smoking control can reduce lung cancer by more than 80%, and the incidence and mortality of lung cancer will gradually decrease with the extension of smoking cessation time. If you quit smoking continuously for 12 years, you can approach non-smokers. For those who are already addicted to smoking, it is never too late to quit smoking, although the earlier the better.
Second, control indoor and air pollution.
In addition to relying on government legislation and supervision, citizens should also consciously protect indoor and atmospheric environment from pollution, such as reducing automobile exhaust emissions, using clean fuel, changing food cooking methods, and scientifically and reasonably carrying out indoor decoration.
London, a foggy city with serious air pollution, is a city with high incidence of lung cancer. Since 1960, by vigorously controlling the air pollution caused by coal burning in factories and residents, London has not only shown the beauty of clear water and blue sky, but also the incidence of lung cancer has stopped rising, showing an obvious downward trend.
Third, strengthen occupational protection.
In mining areas where radioactive ores are mined, effective labor protection measures must be taken to reduce the concentration of radioactive substances and minimize the radiation dose of workers. For workers exposed to carcinogenic compounds, we must also take various effective labor protection measures to avoid or reduce exposure to carcinogenic factors.
Fourth, encourage high-risk groups to participate in the research of early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of lung cancer.
The prognosis of lung cancer patients is obviously related to the disease sooner or later, that is, most early diseases can survive for a long time through treatment. Therefore, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of lung cancer have become the hope to improve the therapeutic effect of lung cancer. Encourage the following three high-risk groups who are prone to lung cancer to participate in the research of early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of lung cancer: people with smoking index above 400 and over 45 years old; Family history of lung cancer; People with a history of occupational exposure.
The above is an introduction to the four-step prevention of lung cancer, and I believe everyone has a preliminary understanding. Only by paying attention to the health symptoms of the body and taking preventive measures can we believe that the body will be healthy forever.
