Lung cancer: first re-staging of

At present, lung cancer has become the world's most common malignancy, human deaths from cancer and the primary cause, is considered the world's most harmful to human health of cancer. In Beijing, the incidence of lung cancer has become the fastest-rising cancer incidence and mortality rates in both the first. At present, Beijing every four cancer patients, there is one suffering from lung cancer. Patients have been younger age, the age of onset every five years be reduced by 1-year-old. Xuanwu Hospital in the capital of lung cancer clinics Medical Center, confirmed the youngest patients with lung cancer is only a 21-year-old armed police soldier. Lung cancer has four characteristics Lung cancer is common diseases frequently-occurring disease In 2005 the United States about 170,000 new patients with lung cancer, 160,000 cases of lung cancer patients die in China each year about 600,000 people die of lung cancer. In cancer incidence among men and lung cancer accounted for the first and second place for women, men and women of lung cancer mortality rate of cancer deaths in both the first. 2006 Ministry of Health issued the 2005 death of urban residents statistics show that cancer ranks first, lung cancer ranks first. Showed the incidence of urbanization, aging According to China's mid-1970s three years of survey data, all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in the Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai the highest incidence of lung cancer, lung cancer mortality rate for the national average of more than two times. Both men and women are urban than rural, large cities than small cities, major cities in industrial areas to higher. High incidence of lung cancer at the age of 60 over the ageing population, and because of the aging, it is bound to increase the incidence of lung cancer. This largely reflects the different ages of exposure to carcinogenic substances duration of the difference is negative lifestyle factors and the accumulation of environmental carcinogens. More female patients with lung cancer It is noteworthy that in recent years, clinical diagnosis of lung cancer in the crowd, young and middle-aged and female patients with more and more, the associated risk factors as: First, younger age smoking. Study found that the sooner the age start smoking, smoking and the longer the number of years, the risk of developing lung cancer greater. Second, the modern metropolis of young people in the work of fast-paced, bad way of life more easily lead to mental stress and depression, nausea suction stuffy wine to drink and smoke are very harmful to health. Three young women vulnerable to the cause of work, such as not running smoothly and downs of married life, such as the fight against accidents, such as to the character do not want to communicate with others, will cause the body's immune disorders, cancer occurred. Environmental factors carcinogenic In addition to smoking, industrial pollution, air pollution and environmental pollution are highly carcinogenic and other factors. What is suffering from lung cancer treatment Do not rush had lung cancer treatment immediately, the correct scientific standards for clinical stage is the premise. Lung cancer treatment must be carried out before the inspection, then decided to do a good job in clinical stage of the programme so that those already distant metastasis, of lung cancer surgery should not bear thoracic surgery patients to avoid bitterness; those who originally did not Transfer of lung cancer patients receive timely scientific surgery. Accurate staging of the programme will help develop science Judgement is lung cancer early, late or late in the inspection approach is to understand the size of tumors, and the scope of transgression, there invasion and the surrounding tissues and organs, whether from lung metastasis, we often say this is the treatment of lung cancer The clinical stage. We often encounter such cases, the patients found that chest film and chest CT lung nodules isolated shadow of the bronchoscopy biopsy of lung cancer is diagnosed, some thoracic surgeon immediately gave the patient a "successful" implementation of the lung surgery. Since that good prognosis of patients, very short period of time after the discovery of how the transfer of the lung, such as brain, liver, bone and other parts of the transfer. In fact these patients before surgery had a lung metastasis, but did not find it. If the surgery before the abdominal ultrasound, magnetic resonance brain, bone scan, and other inspection body, will be able to early detection of lung metastasis, so that patients choose to avoid thoracic surgery and other treatment. From the treatment of the basic principles of speaking, with the exception of the disease according to the phases, in accordance with the different characteristics of each person to determine the specific treatment programmes, the most important one is the lung cancer treatment based on the type. Lung cancer-small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, including small cell lung cancer accounted for 20 percent, and up to 80 percent of non-small cell lung cancer. Different types, treatment methods are very different. Tips Three measures for the prevention of lung cancer We will generally be divided into three cancer prevention: A prevention (that is, etiology prevention) refers to the general population to reduce or eliminate carcinogenic factors, health promotion, prevention of preventive measures. Secondary prevention (that is, epidemiological prevention), refers to specific high-risk population screening of early precancerous lesions or cancer cases, early discovery, early prevention and early treatment measures for the elderly or have a history of severe smoking crowd Regular physical examination should focus on that secondary prevention. Is more than 55 years of age, and smoking index greater than 400 people the focus of the census, can detect many have no symptoms or mild symptoms of early lung cancer, greatly improving the patient's long-term survival. Tertiary prevention is already suffering from a tumor to prevent the recurrence of the disease and reduce complications and prevent disability.
