Malignant Mesothelioma abestos or asbestos, is the major
cause of cancer. More common in the elderly The pleura are often difficult to
diagnose in the
Lung cancer is the
most common cancer worldwide. The most common is ranked second in the male
ranks fourth in women detected early can be difficult because symptoms do not
appear. Most people who come to the doctor with symptoms of the disease
progression is not, however, a way in which that term care. As a result, live
longer or live better. When diagnosed and treated at the correct distance.
Risk factor
Risk
factors for lung cancer are two types of factors that can not be controlled,
such as hereditary or genetic. External factors such as smoking, which can be
controlled by air pollutants such risk factors of lung cancer include.
1.
Cigarettes found that about 85% or more of patients with lung cancer with
smoking history. The substance in cigarettes that have a direct impact on the
lungs are about 60 species that are toxic and carcinogenic. Although stopping
smoking but the risk still exists. Bree finds that smokers have a higher risk
of lung cancer 10 times greater than the risk among smokers is even higher.
This includes those who have been smoke cigarettes (30 percent of those who do
not smoke but died of lung cancer. It is located close smokers).
2.
cigars and pipe Increase the risk of lung cancer as well.
3.
abestos (Asbestos) or use asbestos is highly flammable. Plate heat insulation
in buildings, some textile etc. sucked into asbestos inhalation can cause
irritation to the lungs.
4.
Radon (Radon) is a colorless, odorless gas found naturally in soil, according
to sources. Or areas where uranium By radon from the ground up to be volatile.
This gas can damage the lungs.
5.
Other substances such as chromium, nickel dust from heavy industry. Steam
volatile oil Soot in Including air pollution impure.
6.
Lung Disease People with TB are more likely to develop lung cancer. By lung
cancer will occur at the scars the lungs of TB.
Signs and symptoms
Lung
cancer patients often do not show symptoms until the disease is very
aggressive. There are approximately 10-15% of patients with lung cancer is
detected early. Which is likely to be higher cure. Signs and symptoms of lung
cancer include the following.
•
prolonged cough I normally do not stay the same But as more and more.
•
shortness of breath, fatigue, hoarseness.
•
tiredness, exhaustion
•
Cough or blood stained sputum.
•
Chest, shoulders, back and arms regularly. (Probably because the tumor presses
squeeze in).
•
anorexia
•
swollen face, neck or arms.
•
pneumonia or bronchitis often.
Such
symptoms mentioned above. Symptoms of lung cancer than the first phase. Because
lung cancer is often asymptomatic early stages really. Doctors will be detected
by the coincidence of the X-ray lungs. The annual physical examination
The diagnosis
•
History taking behavior such as smoking. Working Environment Including family
history
•
A physical examination by using a stethoscope to listen to the lungs breathing
and performance tests of lung function and so on.
•
sputum smear more often wake up if no mucus secretions in the throat may sign
the check instead.
•
Chest x-ray image X-ray more images side by side helps position of the clot in
the lung that is in front or behind. Motion picture the Grammy's (tomogram) may
have information that is granular limestone. (Calcification) or small cavity
that is not seen on conventional imaging. The Bronx Bull gram. (Bronchogram) to
tell the details of the trachea.
•
telescopic trachea (Bronchoscopy), this method can be deep into the bronchial
sub-branch. You will also see the appearance of bronchial ago. You can also cut
meat in the trachea, bronchial and lung. (Transbronchial biopsy) to culture.
You can also use water spray bronchoalveolar lavage. Grated or bronchial
membranes The cells are removed for cytological examination too.
•
Biopsy the lymph nodes to detect the parasite.
•
The scan (SCAN).
•
Using a small needle puncture cubes.
•
The light inside the chest
•
Watching the sternum.
•
Thoracic surgery As a last analysis disease. And to treat patients with tumors.
Types of Lung Cancer
There
are many types of lung cancer cell differentiation. Frequently, there are two
types of lung cancer, non-small cell (Non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC) and
lung cancer, small cell (Small cell lung cancer, SCLC) types of cancer cells,
this does not mean the size of the clot. cancer But there are prophetic and
healing follows.
•
non-small cell lung cancer (Non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC) found in
approximately 75-80% of all lung cancer patients. Can be cured with surgery. If
it is detected early. Lung cancer is divided into three sub-species.
1.
Type A Dino Carr Sino come. (Adenocarcinoma) found that cancer cells generate
mucus glands of the lungs. The incidence of lung cancer is increasing steadily
in the 20 years since the development of better diagnostic tools. This type of
cancer found in about 40% of all lung cancers. Common in women or in people who
have never smoked cigarettes at all.
2.
Square Type Sino Irma Thomas Carr (Squamous carcinoma) or epidermoid carcinoma
is found on the lining of the trachea. More common in males and the elderly,
men and women. Strongly associated with smoking. Often the starting point for
the large airway. The symptoms are much steam May hemoptysis Or pneumonia
Because the tumor to treatment of the bronchial tubes. I can not cough out
phlegm out in about 30-35% of all lung cancers.
3.
The major cell type (Large cell carcinoma) cells are found on the surface of
the lung parenchyma. Often the edge of the area. Is spreading so fast, they
could not keep up with the diagnosis, progression of disease in about 5-15% of
all lung cancers.
•
small cell lung cancer (Small cell lung cancer, SCLC) found about 15 percent of
all lung cancers. The cells are small, round shape Sometimes called Oat cell
starts to happen within the lungs, trachea smaller before. Spreading faster But
responds well to chemotherapy and radiation. Found in those who smoke or who
have smoked before.
•
Other cell lung cancer.
-
Carcinoid Tumor rare, about 1-5% of lung cancer patients.
-
Malignant Mesothelioma asbestos or asbestos, is the major cause of cancer. More
common in the elderly The pleura are often difficult to diagnose in the
