Can lung cancer be cured?
. What should I do if I get lung cancer?
Many patients or their family members will feel confused and can’t help but think about how a good person can get cancer. Seeing that he is usually healthy. . Let’s take a look at these first.
. First, let’s look at the factors related to lung cancer. The exact cause of lung cancer is still unclear. After many years of extensive investigation and research, it is now recognized that the following factors are closely related to the causes of lung cancer.
. (
1)
Smoking
. According to a large number of survey data from various countries, the cause of lung cancer is extremely closely related to smoking cigarettes. The increase in the incidence of lung cancer is parallel to the increase in cigarette sales. Cigarettes contain benzopyrene and other carcinogens. Inhalation of cigarette smoke or tar application in experimental animals can induce respiratory tract and skin cancer. The incidence of lung cancer among those with smoking habits is
times higher than that among non-smokers. The incidence among those who smoke heavily is
times higher than among non-smokers. At the end of this century, with the increasing number of female smokers in Western European countries, the incidence of lung cancer in female patients has also increased significantly. Approximately more than
of the clinically diagnosed lung cancer cases are those who smoke
cigarettes every day for more than
years. Long-term smoking can cause bronchial mucosal epithelial cell proliferation and squamous metaplasia, leading to squamous cell carcinoma or undifferentiated small cell carcinoma. Although non-smokers can also develop lung cancer, adenocarcinoma is more common.
. Chloroethers, ionizing radiation, mustard gas, and polycyclic aromatics in soot tar and petroleum. Factors suspected to be related to the occurrence of lung cancer include: beryllium, cadmium, lead, vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile, chlorobenzene, thioalkane, glass fiber, silica dust, talc, aldehyde, etc., as well as casting rubber production, welding, building paint, certain pesticide production and application, petroleum refining and other industries. For example, asbestos workers die from lung cancer
twice as much as the general population, and smokers among asbestos workers have a risk of lung cancer
~
as the general population. This is due to the synergistic effect of smoking and asbestos. .

Environmental pollution such as air pollution
. If industrial waste gas is not treated properly, it can pollute the environment and atmosphere inside and outside factories and mines. In addition, the large amounts of coal, diesel, and gasoline burned every day in cities, as well as the paving of asphalt roads and the use of motor vehicles, can lead to air pollution in densely populated areas. What is disturbing is that environmental pollution is still one of the important causes of illness and death among urban residents. In general, more than 10% of lung cancer cases in cities are caused by air pollution. Oil fume and soot pollution in the kitchen are one of the causes of lung cancer in non-smoking women. In recent years, stone paint, floor glue, plastic decoration adhesives, etc. used in interior decoration have brought indoor pollution.

IV)
Indoor radon pollution
. Radon is a radioactive substance widely present in soil, rock and building materials in nature. It is a product of the decay of uranium and radium. Isotopes of radon and their decay products are called radon daughters. As long as there is radon, there will be associated daughter radon and its daughters, which are harmful to human health. Radon can enter the indoor building materials through the gaps in the foundation, the joints of the building materials, and the loose parts of the pipes entering the room. Radon may also escape into the room. The standard for radon concentration in indoor air set by our country is
Beck/
cubic meter.
Since the beginning of this year, our country has investigated
office buildings and homes in
cities and found that the radon content exceeded the standard.
Up to
Beck/
cubic meters. Internationally, it is believed that the death rate from lung cancer among people exposed to radon concentration of
~
Beck/
is twice that of people under normal exposure levels. Studies estimate that there are approximately .
10,000 radon-caused cancer cases in the United States each year. Radon is considered the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States after smoking. The World Health Organization estimates that
~
of all lung cancer patients in various countries are caused by indoor radon exposure.

Chronic lung diseases
. Chronic bronchitis, tuberculosis, silicosis, pneumoconiosis, etc. are significantly related to the risk of lung cancer. Even patients with sarcoidosis and interstitial pulmonary fibrosis have a higher relative risk of lung cancer.
. (
6)
Diet and Nutrition
. Vitamin
B
deficiency and insufficiency are more prominent in patients with lung cancer. Long-term lack of vitamins
vitamins
carotene and trace elements (
zinc and selenium)
in food may easily lead to lung cancer.
. (
Seven)
Intrinsic factors of the human body
. Multi-gene mutations of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in the human body cause multi-stage cell damage and repair errors, ultimately leading to cancer. Other factors, such as family inheritance, reduced immune function, metabolic activity, and endocrine dysfunction, may also play a certain role in promoting the onset of lung cancer.
. The above reasons are all likely to cause lung cancer. Try to focus on prevention.
. Now let’s talk about what are the symptoms of lung cancer?
The onset of lung cancer has a long incubation period and is hidden. There are no obvious symptoms in the early stages. The symptoms are diverse and lack specificity. Therefore, the misdiagnosis rate of lung cancer is high, accounting for about ~
It should be taken seriously. The reasons are analyzed as follows
. ①
Cough, chest pain, chest tightness and fever can easily be confused with other diseases.
. ②
Some symptoms of lung cancer that do not correspond to the location of the disease are called extrapulmonary symptoms (
will be described in detail later)

. ③
Some patients have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all, making it difficult to detect early.
Symptoms caused by primary tumors
. )
Cough: the most common initial symptom. Depending on the size and location of the tumor, it may manifest as dry cough, paroxysmal cough, cough with wheezing sound, cough with metallic sound, or the nature of the cough changes and the cough relieving effect is not good.
. )
Hemoptysis: accounts for
~
persistent or intermittent blood in sputum, rarely massive hemoptysis.
. )
Chest tightness or pain: accounts for
persistent dull pain and dull pain, and a feeling of heaviness in the chest.
. )
Shortness of breath: Common diseases such as bronchospasm, obstruction, lung infection, atelectasis or pleural effusion lead to varying degrees of shortness of breath.
. )
Weight loss: obvious in the late stage.
. )
Fever: caused by cancer focus fever or obstructive pneumonia.
Symptoms caused by local expansion of tumors
. )
Chest pain: Symptoms involving the parietal pleura or chest wall.
. )
Difficulty breathing: intraluminal tumors cause stenosis, obstruction or protuberance of large airways (
bronchial bifurcation)
extensively invaded
tumor or swelling Lymph nodes compress the trachea and large bronchi. Lesions are widely common in alveolar cancer. Tumors invade the pleura and pericardium to form pleural effusion and pericardial effusion. Tumors that invade the phrenic nerve can cause dyspnea.
. )
Hoarseness: When the tumor invades the recurrent laryngeal nerve, it can cause hoarseness and a whispering sound
.
. )
Paradoxical breathing: caused by compression of the ipsilateral phrenic nerve, elevation of the transverse septum, and slow movement of the diaphragm.
. )
Dyphagia: Lung cancer metastasizes to the mediastinal lymph nodes and compresses the esophagus, causing difficulty in eating.
. )
Swelling of the head and face: Tumor compresses the superior vena cava
causing swelling of the head and face, which is superior vena cava syndrome. Symptoms such as red and purple skin, dizziness, and nasal congestion are aggravated when lying down. In addition, swelling of the upper limb neck also often occurs. .
. )
Symptoms of distant metastasis of cancer Brain metastasis: headache, vomiting, dilated pupils or asymmetry
Bone metastasis: can metastasize to the ribs, spine and pelvis, causing bone destruction
Liver Metastasis: hepatomegaly, pain in the liver area, jaundice, ascites, anorexia, etc.
Distant lymph node metastasis: swollen lymph nodes in supraclavicular and other places may form masses in the late stage.
Extrapulmonary manifestations caused by cancer
. )
Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy: Clubbing may occur in patients with lung cancer. Some patients initially present with migratory and deep burning pain in large joints. Squamous cell carcinoma is common.
. )
Secretion of gonadotropins: male [banned word] development.
. )
Secreting adrenocorticotropic hormone-like substances: causing progressive muscle weakness, full moon, face, neck, trunk or general obesity, purple streaks on the skin of the abdomen and legs, edema in the limbs, high blood pressure, increased urine sugar, and hypoemia Manifestations such as potassium
syndrome are more common in small cell lung cancer.
. )
Hypersecretion of antidiuretic hormone: The symptoms of such cases are mostly caused by drainage disorders, such as fatigue, confusion, nausea, convulsions, etc. Laboratory results may show obvious hyponatremia, hypoosmolality, and persistence in the urine. Natriuretic urine osmotic pressure is higher than plasma osmotic pressure, which is more common in small cell lung cancer.
. )
Neuromuscular disease: Myasthenia occurs. Symptoms of weakness often appear in proximal muscle groups, especially pelvic muscle groups and thigh muscle groups. Muscles in the above parts may also be weak, tired, or even painful. Manifestations such as polymyositis are more common in small cell lung cancer.
. )
Facial flushing, etc.: Carcinoid syndrome caused by excessive tryptamine secretion in the body, such as cheek flushing, asthma, tachycardia, and watery diarrhea, are more common in small cell lung cancer and Adenocarcinoma.
. )
Skin lesions: Dermatomyositis, acanthosis nigricans, scleroderma, etc. are more common in adenocarcinoma.
. )
Coagulant diseases: Migratory thrombophlebitis may occur. It often appears in the upper limbs and is often migratory or fixed in one place.
. If you meet the above symptoms, you need to go to the hospital for diagnosis. I have summarized the hospital's treatment plan as follows. As shown in the figure
. For the above-mentioned treatment limitations or reasons for failure, it is recommended that the patient be given a conservative treatment of traditional Chinese medicine during the treatment period.
. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is the main treatment method for patients in the middle and late stages. Improving the quality of life and prolonging the survival time of these patients is the main goal of treatment. Many studies have found that ginsenoside R in red ginseng can effectively inhibit the proliferation of lung cancer cells and induce their differentiation and apoptosis. Bringing new hope to lung cancer patients. Ginsenoside R
The treatment of lung cancer has the following characteristics
.
Inhibits the proliferation of lung cancer cells and prolongs the survival of patients.
. The reason why lung cancer progresses so quickly is mainly because the proliferation rate of cancer cells is much higher than that of normal cells. Ginsenoside R
.
It can play an anti-tumor role by improving the body's immunity.
. Lung cancer patients are in a state of low immunity, especially those undergoing chemotherapy (
Chemotherapy drugs are generally immunosuppressive drugs)
When immune function is low, tumors are difficult to control and may accelerate recurrence or metastasis. Therefore, improving the body's immunity is particularly important for the treatment of lung cancer. Ginsenoside R can not only improve the activity of cells, but also enhance the activity of positive immunomodulatory effects, thereby enhancing the body's immune function and exerting its anti-tumor effect.
.
Reducing the side effects of chemotherapy and improving patients’ quality of life.
. The anti-tumor chemotherapeutic drugs currently used in clinical practice have varying degrees of toxic and side effects. They not only kill tumor cells, but also kill cells of normal tissues, especially the cells of blood, lymphoid tissue and other cells that are growing vigorously in the human body, causing damage to the digestive system. Hematopoietic system Immune system Nervous system Cutaneous and mucosal reactions Cardiac reactions Pulmonary toxic reactions Renal dysfunction and other reactions. Ginsenoside R
can reduce the toxic side effects of chemotherapy, significantly improve patients' symptoms such as low white blood cells, fatigue, weakness, susceptibility to infection, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, sexual dysfunction and other symptoms, and improve the quality of life of patients.
. Ginsenoside R
Extensive anti-cancer activity, diverse anti-cancer mechanisms, and non-toxic side effects are being recognized and respected by more and more liver cancer patients. Products containing ginsenoside R
are already on the market. Believe it or not. It will bring new hope to liver cancer patients!
