On the mainland, about 800,000 new lung cancer patients are diagnosed every year, of which more than 2/3 are diagnosed in the middle and advanced stages, or even after the advanced stages.
For anyone, cancer is a topic that they don't want to talk about, because everyone thinks that once they have cancer, it is almost equivalent to a death sentence. But over the years, cancer has not decreased because of people's fear, but more and more, but the death rate is gradually decreasing, which is related to advanced medical technology and people's regular examinations.
After all, the earlier the disease is detected, the higher the likelihood of cure, so we need to understand the 5 tips that the body may send out early after lung cancer occurs.
First, breathing difficulties
Dyspnea is the most typical early symptom of lung cancer, because the tumor grows into the trachea, which can cause the trachea to narrow, especially when the enlarged lymph nodes compress the trachea.
And with the development of lung cancer, breathing difficulties will become more obvious and serious, so people who often have this reaction must pay more attention.
Although there are many reasons for breathing difficulties in daily life, it is also necessary to judge according to their own situation and go to the hospital for examination in time.
Second, long-term eye swelling
The most obvious symptom of lung cancer is that the eyes are often swollen and the eyelids sag for a long time, because the tumor tissue of the lung cancer compresses the nerve tissue of the eye, which leads to the occurrence of this condition.
In addition, when the tumor tissue of the lungs compresses the large venous tissue on the right side, there will also be swelling of the back, chest and neck, repeated dizziness, headache and other symptoms.
Third, long-term low-grade fever
Once a person suffers from lung cancer, the tumor cells in the body will necrosis, and the body temperature may remain around 38 degrees Celsius, that is, the body will have a long-term low fever.
Therefore, once you find this symptom, but do not confirm whether it is lung cancer, you need to go to the hospital immediately to check whether you have lung cancer, do not delay.
After all, many times people will mistakenly think that this is a cold, and without going to the hospital for examination, it will delay the best time to find the disease.
Fourth, the body is emaciated
After lung cancer occurs, because the healthy cells in the body will fight with the cancer cells, in this process, they will absorb a lot of nutrients in the body, and the body will quickly lose weight if it cannot supplement nutrients.
Therefore, for people who have not lost weight and dieted in recent times, sudden weight loss needs to be suspected of being caused by cancer.
Fifth, cough
Cough is the most typical and common signal of lung cancer, this cough is different from the general respiratory disease, patients will have irritating choking cough and paroxysmal dry cough.
In particular, the more cancer cells that affect the bronchial mucosa, the more likely it is to have cough symptoms, as long as the cancer does not disappear, even if the patient takes various cough drugs, the cough is not easy to control, and there will be a possibility of continuous deterioration and becoming more and more serious.
Modern people should pay more attention to their physical health, once the above 5 symptoms appear, they should be highly vigilant.
It is necessary to go to the hospital immediately at an early stage to confirm the presence of lung cancer, especially those who smoke all year round, have a clan history of lung cancer, have chronic lung disease all year round, and have occupational exposure (chemicals, oil, asbestos, miners, radiation).
In addition, from a clinical point of view, after the diagnosis of early lung cancer, through active treatment, the possibility of successful cure is very large, and I hope that everyone can pay attention to it.
