Lung cancer is a serious malignant tumor. For many men who like smoking, the incidence of lung cancer is high. Therefore, male friends had better get rid of bad habits in life to reduce the incidence of disease. In some health knowledge, the examination of lung cancer is also very important.
The examination of lung cancer can often help patients better understand their disease as early as possible, and regular examination of lung cancer can help them receive better treatment in time.
1. Sputum for cancer cells in lung cancer examination: Sputum for cancer cells is a convenient, fast and non-invasive examination, easy to implement and apply. Once the cancer cells are found in the sputum, the diagnosis can be established, which has diagnostic value. Lung cancer examination is especially suitable for the early diagnosis of lung cancer in the central part of the lung. The quality of sputum and its delivery time directly affect the detection rate of cancer cells. It is best to choose the sputum that is coughed up from the deep part of the lung after gargling in the morning and check it within 1 hour. Sputum containing blood is better to prevent sending pus sputum for examination. Repeated sending for examination can improve the positive rate.
2. Fibrobronchoscope examination: lung cancer examination is especially suitable for sputum cancer cells positive, while chest CT is negative. In addition, the diagnosis rate of left and near hilar lesions is relatively high. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy, combined with fine needle aspiration and X-ray guided lung biopsy, can further improve the positive rate.
3. Low-dose chest spiral CT examination: lung cancer examination can find small lesions that cannot be found by conventional chest radiography. Some foreign studies suggest that screening lung cancer with low-dose spiral CT can significantly improve the detection rate of early lung cancer. After surgical treatment, most patients can be cured and survive for a long time. Special attention should be paid to ground-glass lesions and small nodular lesions on CT, which may be more significant than previous chest radiographs. The abnormal shadows on the newly presented chest CT should be further examined or followed up to eliminate the possibility of lung cancer.
The above are all about the examination methods of lung cancer. For many middle-aged men, they are often under great pressure at work and seldom take care of their own bodies. Therefore, the physical examination is very important, because only by finding the disease in time can we better treat the disease and avoid the occurrence of unfortunate things.
