Lung cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, intestinal cancer, uterine cancer, pancreatic cancer...... These cancers are not uncommon in life, and many people have lost their precious lives to these cancers.
In addition to these cancers, there is another type of cancer that many people have not heard of, which is called lung adenocarcinoma, which occurs mainly in the epithelium of the bronchial mucosa, and sometimes in the large bronchi.
Although this is a non-small cell carcinoma, it can also pose a serious threat to human health and life. Speaking of which, surely many people will be concerned about the ease of treatment of this kind of cancer? What is its early, late-stage cure rate? A popular science!
What is the cure rate of lung adenocarcinoma?
Lung adenocarcinoma is also a type of lung cancer, and in the early stages of the disease, like most cancers, it does not cause patients to show obvious symptoms of discomfort, and only has a chance to detect the condition when a chest x-ray is taken.
If lung adenocarcinoma can be detected at an early stage, the five-year survival rate and cure rate can reach more than 90% for timely treatment with surgery, and as long as the patient's cancer cells have not metastasized to the lymph nodes or distant places, they can be completely removed by surgery, and the cure rate can even reach 100%.
However, it is also necessary to have regular check-ups after treatment to prevent recurrence of cancer.
If lung adenocarcinoma is found in the medium term, patients should also actively cooperate with doctors for surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, so as to have the opportunity to help patients improve the five-year survival rate to 50%-60%.
And the later a patient is found to have adenocarcinoma of the lung, the greater the life-threatening risk, and the lower the survival rate. Therefore, lung adenocarcinoma should also be detected and treated early, only in this way can we help ourselves improve the early cure rate. So what factors are related to the early cure rate?
1. Early detection of the disease
Once lung adenocarcinoma is developed, many patients will have hoarseness at an early stage, which is caused by the invasion and compression of the nerves innervating the vocal cords by cancer cells. Whether you drink a lot of water or take medication, there is no way to improve the hoarseness.
There are also some patients who will have a body fever, the body temperature is usually around 38 °C, if after physical cooling or anti-inflammatory treatment, the patient's body temperature can also return to a normal state, because the cancer cells continue to invade the body, so this situation is easy to occur repeatedly.
2. Go to the hospital for examination in time
Once the patient is found to have unwell symptoms, it is best for the patient to go to the hospital in time. The doctor will arrange tests based on the patient's specific situation to determine the cause. Most diseases do not progress to malignancy as long as they can be controlled early.
3. Regular physical examination
If you smoke frequently, inhale second-hand smoke, are exposed to asbestos and various polycyclic aromatic compounds, and are exposed to ionizing radiation, you should finally develop the habit of regular physical examination, so as to help patients understand the health status of the body, and if lung adenocarcinoma can be detected in time and at an early stage, there is a chance that the disease can be cured.
Conclusion: Most diseases can be detected early and received regular and effective treatment in a timely manner, which has a chance to help patients achieve a good prognosis, and the same is true for lung adenocarcinoma.
However, it is still recommended that everyone must learn to protect their body and develop good habits of life and rest, so as to make their bodies healthier and help them stay away from the invasion of various cancer cells.
