Do you know the cause of lung adenocarcinoma?

 

Cancer is the number one cause of death in adults.Among them, there are more and more opportunities to hear the word "lung adenocarcinoma" centered on media such as TV and newspapers. As you can see from the name of the disease, it is one of the cancers related to the lungs, and it is also known that people who do not smoke or young people develop it. In addition, recently, the process of developing lung cancer is slowly being explained. Cancer is such a familiar disease that one in two people is said to develop. There is a possibility that you and your precious person may develop, so let's also know the symptoms of lung cancer and how to treat it.

What kind of disease is lung cancer?

Lung cancer is one of lung cancer. Lung cancer is divided into lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer according to the tissue framework. Non-small cell lung cancer is further divided into three categories, one of which is lung cancer. Lung cancer looks similar to glandular tissue, such as salivary glands that make saliva or hypocrisy that secretes gastric juice. Cancer often occurs inside the lungs. Also, lung cancer is characterized by the high frequency of lung cancer. About half of all lung cancers are known to be lung cancer.

It's a kind of lung cancer. What are the symptoms of the outbreak?

Lung cancer is characterized by difficulty in showing clear symptoms in the early stages. Lung cancer, including lung cancer, has no unique symptoms, so it is not uncommon to realize it late. As the symptoms progress, symptoms such as chest pain, cough, and phlegm appear. It is difficult to distinguish it from respiratory diseases, but when it lasts for a long time, you need to be careful because you may suspect cancer. In addition, if the cancer has spread, symptoms or abnormalities may occur in the metastatic area. For example, when you have dizziness or dizziness, you are suspected of metastasis to the brain.

What is the cause of the outbreak?

The cause of lung cancer is currently unclear. Research on genes is also underway, but the evidence is insufficient. However, the relationship with smoking has been pointed out in various studies. Cigarettes contain carcinogens, which are thought to cause cancer by damaging the genes of lung cancer.In addition, professional factors such as contact with asbestos and air pollution seem to be considered risk factors for lung cancer. I heard that there are many cases of non-smokers.

Lung cancer is common among smokers as well as non-smokers, regardless of gender. Smoking is known to increase the risk of developing the disease, but the direct cause is unknown.

However, lung cancer is known to be strongly affected by second-hand smoking. For example, if a smoker is a spouse, people who do not smoke tend to have a high probability of developing it.

What is the diagnosis and examination of lung cancer?

Please tell me the details of the lung cancer test.

If lung cancer is suspected, tests such as determination of cancer, progress, and whether the body can withstand treatment are required. Therefore, a detailed examination is performed for each item. First of all, it is a test to determine whether it is cancer or not. Chest CT is mainly used to examine in detail for other diseases. If cancer is suspected, a more detailed examination is needed to confirm the diagnosis. In this step, bronchoscopy and biopsy are performed and cells and tissues are collected to determine the type of cancer cells. If cancer is confirmed, metastasis should also be investigated, and metastasis confirmation and treatment policies should be reviewed using MRI tests, PET tests, and tumor markers for areas suspected of metastasis. When a rough treatment policy is set, a test is also needed to determine the treatment. Genetic tests and cancer cell PD-L1 protein tests are conducted to increase the effectiveness of the drug. Although these tests are typically performed, more detailed tests may be required depending on symptoms or conditions.

How long after the test results come out, will the treatment start?

The duration of the treatment to start depends on the progress of the cancer or the hospital where you plan to receive treatment. On a standard basis, it seems that there are many medical institutions that start treatment in about 1 to 3 weeks after the test.However, when cancer is progressing, treatment needs to be done quickly. In such cases, treatment may begin earlier than the reference period.

It is also common to have hospitalization procedures and preparations during the period until treatment begins. Depending on symptoms or medical institutions, additional tests may be required.

Please tell me how to treat lung cancer.

Three major treatments are used to treat lung cancer: "surgery," "radiation therapy," and "drug therapy." It is common to use each treatment according to the stage. In Stage 1 and 2, treatment by surgery is mainly used. Since it is in its early stages, if the cancer does not progress and the cancer can be completely resected, a complete recovery can be expected. When you enter Stage 3, you need medication and radiation therapy. When you enter this stage, the cancer progresses and metastasizes, so surgery cannot completely remove it. Treatment such as using drugs or radiation to damage cancer cells and suppress proliferation is needed. There are various types of drugs used for drug treatment, and they are used separately according to symptoms or treatment policies. Radiation therapy is also a treatment that damages cancer cells by irradiating them with X-rays. It is done in combination with medication depending on the symptoms or the patient's condition.

Is there a high possibility of metastasis?

Lung cancer, including lung cancer, is known to recur frequently among cancers. Many of the causes of lung cancer recurrence are due to metastasis. It is known that about 80% of all lung cancer recurrences are caused by metastasis.

In addition, lung cancer is difficult to develop symptoms in the early stages, so it is not uncommon for metastasis to progress without knowing it. It is also known that lung cancer, including lung cancer, is likely to spread to the opposite lung, lymph nodes, bones and liver. In some cases, it may spread to the brain or clavicle, so you need to be careful.

Please let me know if there are any precautions after treatment.

When surgery is performed, pain or discomfort may occur in the chest. Surgery is thought to stimulate nerves and periosteum near the ribs, but it subsides in about six months to a year. However, caution is required if you have a bright red sputum or if you have a fever of 38 degrees or higher. Please contact the medical institution that received the treatment as soon as possible because there is a possibility that there is something wrong with your body. Also, you should refrain from smoking. The bronchial tubes are stimulated, which increases coughing or phlegm and makes it easier to cause pneumonia.

Lung cancer is one of the most common diseases among lung cancer. Symptoms are difficult to appear in the early stages, so it often spreads without knowing. In addition, there are many cases of non-smokers or young people, and the cause is not clearly identified. However, lung cancer can reduce the risk of metastasis and recurrence if early detection is possible. In addition to reducing the risk, treatment in the early stages can also cure it completely. If symptoms that you are concerned about continue to be detected early, don't judge yourself and get examined at a medical institution.

arrangement

Cancer, including lung cancer, can be prevented by smoking cessation and improving diet, but it cannot be completely prevented. Early detection is important because you can expect a complete recovery if you treat it at an early stage. However, lung cancer does not show symptoms well, so it is not easy to recognize it because there are no self-aware symptoms. In order to find it in the early stages, regular checkups, etc. should be conducted. In addition, if the symptoms of concern persist, the second opinion is also valid. There is a possibility that cancer and other diseases that could not be found in the first clinic can be found. Currently, cancer screening and risk testing are conducted in the private sector, including those recommended by the state. Let's actively utilize them to work on early detection of lung cancer.
