According to the data report of China urban cancer released by National Cancer Center in 20 17, about 10000 people are diagnosed with cancer every day in China.
Lung cancer accounts for one-fifth of the global cancer deaths, ranking first in the global cancer deaths.
World Health Organization: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. For every six people who die in the world, 1 person is caused by cancer.
Lao Wang, 48, thinks that people can enjoy a happy life when they reach middle age.
But the sudden pain completely broke the happiness of this family.
Six months ago, Lao Wang always felt chest tightness, dull pain and no strength.
It's not like before, and my family feels old, so I naturally have some health problems.
Half a year has passed, and Lao Wang has not thoroughly checked it.
But recently, the pain site has shifted to the left lower abdomen, and the pain is aggravated and more frequent.
Even coughing for no reason, Lao Wang usually smokes, but not very often, but the pain has affected his life.
Lao Wang came to the hospital for a thorough examination. After chest X-ray, lung CT and cytological examination, traces of tumor cells were found, and Lao Wang was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.
Three blacks:
1, black tooth
There are dozens of toxic substances in tobacco. People who smoke for a long time, tar and other substances will combine with sticky substances on the surface of teeth. If dental plaque grows too fast, teeth will turn black and yellow.
People who smoke, once they find that their teeth turn yellow and black, indicate that their metabolism slows down and their metabolic blocking ability decreases. Quit smoking as soon as possible and check it in time.
2. Black face
Chinese medicine says that "lung governs fur".
When the lung function declines, toxic substances are metabolized abnormally, accumulate in the lung, flow into the blood, and deposit on human skin.
Clinically, most patients with lung cancer will have dark and dull skin.
3. Black fingers
Finger is the end of human body. When qi and blood are not running smoothly, the extremes of the body will show sensitive performance.
Clinically, lung injury can cause swelling of finger joints, clubbing fingers and even nails to turn yellow and black.
The second pain:
1, sore throat
The throat and lungs belong to the respiratory system. When tumors appear in the lungs, causing inflammation, infection and other problems, it will affect the normal function of organs and throat, thus causing pain.
Some will also be accompanied by shoulder, back and other radiation pain, which is more interesting. Check lung CT as soon as possible.
2, chest pain
The position of the lungs is around the chest.
Once lung cancer occurs, there will be chest tightness and pain, and the pain will be aggravated with the increase of the tumor.
Some people think it's a heart disease, but don't ignore the health of the lungs, so as not to get worse.
1, working environment pollution.
Long-term exposure to uranium, radium, radioactive substances and their derivatives, arsenic, chromium, nickel, copper, tin, iron, coal tar, asphalt, petroleum, asbestos, mustard gas and other carcinogenic hydrocarbons can all induce lung cancer.
In addition, the low air quality in cities is also an important factor to induce lung cancer.
2. People with a family history of lung cancer
People with a family history of lung cancer are much more likely to have lung cancer than normal people.
In addition, people with tuberculosis and other tumors are also prone to lung cancer.
3. Cook regularly
In Europe and the United States, cases of lung cancer caused by non-smoking range from 10% to 15%. Among them, a large part is related to kitchen fumes.
Women, who often cook, are more susceptible to the influence of kitchen fumes, especially when frying things, which give off more fumes.
These soot particles have been tested and proved to be dangerous substances causing cancer, so housewives are more likely to get lung cancer.
First: drink plenty of water.
Drinking water can promote the excretion of toxins in the body, reduce discomfort such as nausea, vomiting and cough, and help you improve the success rate of quitting smoking.
Put some small plants when drinking water, which has a good effect of detoxification and moistening the lungs.
Take 2 grams of dandelion root, 2 grams of chicory root, platycodon grandiflorum 1 g, chicory tea 1 g, and insist on hot water brewing, which has a good effect on nourishing lung.
Dandelion, known as natural antibiotic, has broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, can eliminate oral inflammation, improve oral ulcer and sore throat, and is one of the "Eight donkey kong".
Chicory root has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, promoting diuresis to reduce swelling, promoting toxin excretion, enhancing immunity and improving blood circulation.
Platycodon grandiflorum has the functions of dispersing lung, resolving phlegm, relieving sore throat and expelling pus. Belonging to lung meridian, it has curative effect on cough with excessive phlegm and sore throat.
Di Jie is a good medicine for nourishing yin and promoting fluid production. It has a certain therapeutic effect on dry cough, dry throat and dry tongue caused by lung yin deficiency, and has a good effect of promoting fluid production to quench thirst and improve immunity.
Together, the four ingredients are very suitable for drinking during smoking cessation, which can alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms during smoking cessation.
The second thing: stay away from second-hand smoke
Besides quitting smoking, you should also stay away from second-hand smoke, which is also very harmful to your health.
Investigation shows that secondhand smoke can increase the risk of lung cancer in non-smokers by 20-30%. The more cigarettes a husband smokes every day, the greater the risk of lung cancer for his wife.
At the same time, secondhand smoke will increase the risk of coronary heart disease by 25-30%, leading to atherosclerosis and stroke.
The main sources of health hazards of second-hand smoke are the smoke exhaled by smokers and the smoke produced by cigarette burning.
The third thing: moderate exercise
Moderate exercise can improve vital capacity, promote body metabolism and promote the excretion of toxins in the body.
For middle-aged and elderly people, complete at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise every week, such as running, Tai Ji Chuan and sword dancing.
Breast enhancement exercise is also a good choice for nourishing the lungs.
Methods: Make a fist with both hands, stretch out your arms, expand your chest as much as possible, and breathe in the abdomen. Repeat this action for 5- 10 minutes each time.
Chest expansion exercise and abdominal breathing are beneficial to improve vital capacity.
Fourth: regular inspection.
It is recommended that people over 50 years old have a CT examination of their lungs every year.
To prevent lung cancer, it is best to choose lung CT. "Chest film" has a high rate of missed diagnosis of early lung cancer.
If lung CT says "shadow in the lung" or "small nodules are found", it is not necessarily lung cancer, and further diagnosis is needed to judge.
Generally speaking, low-dose chest CT scan or bronchoscopy is needed for initial differentiation.
