Lung cancer

Lung cancer in the bronchial epithelium, also known as bronchial cancer. The past 50 years, many countries have reported significantly higher incidence of lung cancer in male cancer patients, lung cancer ranks first. Cause of lung cancer has not yet fully clear, a large number of data indicate that a large number of long-term cigarette smoking is an important risk factor for lung cancer. Smoking cigarettes daily 40 years or more, the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma than non-smokers 4 to 10 times higher. The incidence of lung cancer in urban than in rural areas, which may contain carcinogenic substances related to air pollution and dust in. Therefore, do not smoke should be promoted and strengthened urban environmental sanitation.

(3) Occupational Protection: the exploitation of radioactive ore mining, should take effective protective measures to minimize the amount of staff affected by radiation. Exposure to carcinogenic compounds workers must take all effective labor protection measures to avoid or reduce exposure to cancer-causing factors.
(4) prevention and treatment of chronic bronchitis: due to chronic bronchitis in patients with lung cancer than in those without chronic bronchitis, chronic bronchitis so positive control for the prevention of lung cancer have a certain significance. In particular, to persuade smokers to quit suffering from chronic bronchitis, chronic bronchitis since a higher incidence of lung cancer and smoking crowd.
(5) early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment: early lung cancer screening tool has still not satisfactory, lung cancer in the population census cost is very expensive, and the possibility of reducing lung cancer mortality is very small.
