Lung cancer has been at the top of the incidence of male tumors for many years, which has a lot to do with the fact that many men are old smoking guns for many years. Not only is the incidence high, but the mortality rate is also in the first place, which can be said to be the most terrible cancer. But even such a terrible lung cancer, there is still hope of a clinical cure - according to the latest research, the miracle drug for treating lung cancer has emerged! It's oscitinib!
The latest research results published abroad show that patients with medium-term non-small cell lung cancer received adjuvant chemotherapy with osimertinib after surgery, and the risk of lung cancer recurrence or death was reduced by 83%.
The indications for adjuvant chemotherapy after oscitinib have also just been approved in China. According to the State Food and Drug Administration of China, the approval status of the new indications for oshitinib mesylate tablets (acceptance number: JXHS2000150/JXHS2000151) has been changed to "approval completed - to be produced", which is the third indication approved by oshitinib in China!
Can the people afford such a miracle medicine?
Before the price of oscitinib was 53,000 yuan / box, catching up with many people's salaries for a year!
It is gratifying that the transaction price of osimtinib in the 2020 national medical insurance drug access negotiations has dropped by 64% compared with the past, reduced to 5580 yuan / box, and both first-line and second-line patients can use targeted drugs.
The price of 5580 yuan / box is still a large expense for many ordinary people. Many families are ruined by "cancer". If we can curb the occurrence of lung cancer at the source, we will not all be happy.
Smoking is harmful to health, not just a slogan on a cigarette case
80% of lung cancers are caused by smoking. Cigarette combustion produces more than 100 kinds of harmful gases, which are inhaled into the lungs, adsorbed by the alveoli and mucous membranes, and over time damage the function and induce lesions. Smokers do not only harm their own health, studies have shown that many people live in second- or third-hand smoke environments for a long time, in passive smoking. Passive smoking may be more harmful than active smoking.
Stay away from kitchen fumes
When cooking, there will definitely be a certain amount of oil smoke. Even after the treatment of the range hood, we will inevitably be exposed, but the fume contains about 200 kinds of harmful substances. The main harm of these oil smokes is to increase the risk of cell carcinogenesis, the most common of which is lung cancer. Multiple studies have shown that kitchen fumes are an important driver of the increased incidence of lung cancer in non-smoking women.
air pollution.
Living in places with higher levels of air pollution, such as in large cities or near traffic-congested roads, may increase the risk of lung cancer. Data from the World Health Organization shows that 36% of lung cancer deaths are caused by air pollution, which also increases the risk of acute respiratory infections.
