According to recently released the "2013 Annual Report of Cancer Registration in China", lung cancer , female breast cancer , stomach cancer , liver cancer , esophageal cancer , colorectal colorectal cancer, cervical cancer is the most common Chinese people suffered cancer; lung, liver, stomach, esophagus cancer, colorectal colorectal cancer , breast cancer, pancreatic cancer is a major cause of death in cancer. Nanjing CDC's latest statistics also show that in the 40 years before the cause of death in Nanjing, cancer ranked second only to injury and poisoning, in which 40 men before the age of five kinds of cancer mortality in the highest, respectively liver cancer, leukemia , stomach cancer, colorectal cancer and anal cancer; women are leukemia, stomach cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer.
In recent years, lung cancer incidence and mortality in fast growth, called on human health and life-threatening one of the largest cancer.
Cause of lung cancer has not yet entirely clear, but a large number of data indicate that long-term heavy smokers have a very close relationship with the occurrence of lung cancer. Probability of long-term heavy smokers develop lung cancer are non-smokers 10-20 times smaller age start smoking, the higher the risk of lung cancer. Long-term inhalation of "passive smoking" is also as likely to lead to substantial increase in the risk of lung cancer.
In the relationship between smoking and lung cancer, we can remember a smoking index calculation method: "A total number of years of smoking" × "a few sticks of smoking every day" to arrive at a "number of cigarettes" concept. If smoking index> 400 years of support, then the party suffering the risk of lung cancer and other cancers will be greatly improved.
But not just lung cancer and smoking-related, and some of you still have not paid attention to the factors. For example, you noticed your cooking oil is?
In fact, there are a large number of studies have shown that the ventilation system is poor, burning cooker to cook on low performance, damage to health caused by smoking two packs of cigarettes a day is equal; while cooking oil temperature is too high, can lead to lung cancer, increased risk of pneumonia and other acute disease of the lower respiratory tract. Studies show that when cooking oil burn 150 ℃, which is the main component of glycerol to acrolein smoke will be generated, and it has a strong spicy flavor of the nose, eyes, throat mucosa have a strong stimulation, can cause rhinitis, throat inflammation, bronchitis and other respiratory diseases; kitchen smoke also contains carcinogens is called benzopyrene, long-term inhalation can induce lung carcinogenesis.
So, more than cooking, less frying cooking methods, not only helps you control weight and blood lipids, but also help you prevent lung cancer.
In addition, there are some factors and lung cancer are closely related, including: occupational exposure, there are eight kinds of factors considered, and lung cancer is closely identified, including arsenic, chromium, asbestos, silica, diesel fumes, etc.; home decoration pollution, radon inside exposure to high; family or I have a history of cancer, and especially some smoking-related cancer survivors, the new higher risk of lung cancer; patients have a history of a number of related diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary fibrosis, and so on.
Therefore, to prevent lung cancer should avoid these specific risk factors, including smoking cessation, treatment of related diseases, the work of awareness of occupational protection, home renovations to avoid environmental pollution endures, there are daily drinking green tea and eating habits of garlic, is also considered is a protective factor for lung cancer.
Diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer
Clinical manifestations of lung cancer is more complex, the lack of specificity of many respiratory symptoms, so easily ignored, missed. One of the most common include cough, bloody sputum or hemoptysis, chest pain, chest tightness, shortness of breath, hoarseness, etc. In addition there will be patients with fever, weight loss and other symptoms, some patients because of tumor metastasis, metastatic symptoms will appear first, symptoms such as bone pain, fractures, hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia, headaches and other different parts. Its diagnostic tools including x-ray examination, bronchoscopy, cytology, exploratory thoracotomy, ect check mediastinoscopy
Now for the standard treatment of lung cancer, mainly by means of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, comprehensive and individualized treatment.
Generally recommend surgery for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (especially adenocarcinoma) better sensitivity to chemotherapy, small cell lung cancer patients are more sensitive to radiation; addition can also be immunized by thymosin, tumor necrosis factor and other methods treatment, but also to develop more and more clinical molecular targeted drugs. Although lung cancer is still a threat to people's lives, "the enemy", but long-term survival of patients in clinical gradually improved, many patients can achieve long-term survival even with tumors, "lung" The people dreaded disease, but also gradually shift to chronic diseases.
Chinese medicine treatment of lung cancer
In anti-tumor therapy, we recommend the use of existing standardized priority treatment. However, the involvement of Chinese medicine, cancer treatment can bring a lot to help.
First, the tumor itself is a vicious, wasting disease, and pay attention to strengthening the foundation of Chinese medicine to improve the patient's physique. This not only helps to increase patient strength, improve quality of life, but also to enable patients to better tolerate other cancer treatments, such as surgery or chemotherapy.
Second, to reduce the adverse effects of some treatments. This is mainly for the purpose of chemotherapy. We found that in Chinese medicine before chemotherapy so that early intervention can significantly reduce chemotherapy-induced vomiting, diarrhea and discomfort.
In addition, tumor genesis in modern medicine is not entirely clear, and medicine in the country, it is considered QDBS physique have some relevance. QDBS prone to bruising, and bruising may further develop into tumors. Many patients even through surgery, chemotherapy solve existing tumors, but "pathogenic constitution" is still, the risk of recurrence is high. And if appropriate add qi, blood drugs, adjust the balance of the patient's body, with follow-up after treatment, can reduce the risk of recurrence in patients as possible, so as to secure more long-term survival.
