Director Tang's big truth:
First, the tumor is suddenly discovered, not suddenly. It is not too late to prevent lung cancer from now on
1. Quit smoking, quit smoking and quit smoking, say important things 3 times.
Without smoke, lung cancer would be a rare disease.
If you don't smoke, stay away from smokers and places as well.
2. Cook less high temperature oil stir-frying, mainly steaming.
Particulate matter produced by high-temperature fumes is inhaled into the lungs and may deposit in your lungs.
3. Go out less on smog days, do a good job of personal protection, wear a mask, and wash your hands frequently.
If you have asthma, COPD and other respiratory diseases, you should treat them in a timely and standardized manner.
4. This type of person is a high-risk group of lung cancer, and low-dose chest CT (LDCT) once a year is the most effective way to detect early lung cancer.
Age 55-77 years, smoking ≥ 30 packs of years, quit time < 15 years; age ≥ 50 years, smoking ≥ 20 packs years, at least one risk factor (excluding second-hand smoke).

Risk factors include:
Family history of lung cancer, especially family history of first-degree relatives;
Patients with a history of COPD or diffuse pulmonary fibrosis;
Have a history of environmental or high-risk occupational exposure (e.g., contacts of asbestos, beryllium, uranium, ammonia, etc.).
Second, I have been in the clinic for more than 20 years, and these conditions make me very sad
1. Avoid medical treatment. Many people vaguely know that their condition is not good, but under the influence of many one-sided reports, they go to many hospitals with a skeptical attitude, indecisive, but miss the best time for treatment;
2. Obviously there is a cure, but it is limited by high costs. Fortunately, such cases are becoming less and less frequent, and more and more special drugs have been significantly reduced in price and included in medical insurance. In addition, you can also pay attention to the clinical trials of new drugs, which not only eliminate the cost of drugs and related examinations and tests, but also receive very careful care.
Third, the patient most hopes that the patient will get better soon, there must be his supervisor doctor
1. The lack of trust between doctors and patients is the death of society, and the injured patients are also doctors.
I believe that 99.99% of the medical staff have the original intention of treating patients and saving people and the minimum moral bottom line, hoping that a patient will get better quickly, there must be his doctor in charge.
2. What is it to find good hospitals and doctors? What are the criteria for judging?
Every patient aspires to the fame of the hospital and the big name of the expert, but the current imbalance in the distribution of medical resources is a reality. Choosing hospitals and doctors, "big names" are not the absolute only criterion for judging.
We may also wish to analyze that one expert has 100 points of ability, but can only give you 50%; another expert ability of 90 points, pay 100% to you, which one do you choose?
