How to Diagnose Lung Cancer

According to the World Health Organization survey found that 1/3 of cancers can be prevented, 1/3 of active treatment can preserve life and improve the quality of life. Early detection of cancer patients, 80% more to get a good therapeutic effect. The experts of Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou said. Many patients with lung cancer diagnosed at a late stage. Because lung cancer early is no typical symptoms or no symptoms. 

Lung cancer early symptoms of cough, phlegm, and many patients have a history of smoking will experience these symptoms, accompanied by symptoms of chest pain, hemoptysis, fever and other symptoms. If you experience these symptoms do not go to the hospital for examination and treatment, have lost the best treatment period.

When the patient during the examination, in addition to the doctor asks about the patient's medical history and some basic checks, may also need to be further examination.

Mediastinoscopy: mediastinoscopy is primarily used for mediastinal lymph node metastasis, not suitable for surgical treatment, while the other examination methods can not obtain a pathologic diagnosis of patients.

Examination ECT: ECT inspection can detect early metastases to bone.
Exploratory thoracotomy: a mass in the lung by a variety of diagnostic studies and short-term treatment failed to clear the lesions, but can not exclude the possibility lung cancer, must conduct exploratory thoracotomy. This is to avoid delays in treatment so that early treatment of lung cancer patients lose the opportunity.

Biopsy examination: examination of sputum cytology is a simple and effective method for the majority of patients with primary lung cancer can be found in the sputum of cancer cells. Bronchoscopy: Bronchoscopy can directly through endobronchial lesions.

X - ray: If cough, chest pain, symptoms are not improved, might be able to perform inspection X - ray and bronchoscopy. With inspection X - ray can understand if there is lung cancer, tumor location and size, can also be seen as emphysema, bronchial obstruction caused by local lesions adjacent section infiltrates or pulmonary inflammatory changes.

In fact, cancer is not terrible, it would be awful when it was postponed, ignored, misdiagnosed. Over the past decade, by continuing to develop minimally invasive techniques, greatly increases the effectiveness of treatment of lung cancer. Cryosurgical, intervention, particle knife, immunotherapies, integrative medicine and minimally invasive treatment by a multidisciplinary team of cancer with comprehensive treatment for cancer patients to relieve pain, bring health.
