Share your knowledge about lung cancer, symptoms, causes and treatment!
Lung cancer is a disease that is usually suffered by smokers, because since I was little I always heard that people who smoke will be more susceptible to lung cancer.
Because in cigarettes there is a very dangerous toxic substance that can damage the lining cells in the lungs, so it can be concluded that smoking is very dangerous because it can cause lung cancer.
Symptoms of lung cancer are also very diverse and must require a medical examination before we can conclude that the person really has lung cancer.
Some symptoms that may be experienced by people who will get lung cancer are as follows:
- Feeling pain in the chest and ribs
- Coughing up phlegm, dry cough, and coughing up blood or chronic cough
- Experiencing respiratory tract infections, which often occur are shortness of breath or experiencing shortness of breath
- Loss of appetite or fatigue
- Then the person can also experience weakness, swollen lymph nodes, weight loss or hoarseness
It should be remembered that my statement is only for information, for more detailed information you should still consult a doctor.
For the treatment of lung cancer itself, it also varies, if the cancer is still in the early stages it can be treated with surgery, while if the cancer has entered stage 4 or advanced then the treatment will be carried out with radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
After we know that the dangers of lung cancer, then what we can do now is to take precautions so that we do not experience lung cancer, one way to prevent lung cancer is to stop smoking or avoid cigarette smoke.
Hopefully with the lessons we learned today we can make our lives better in the future by living a healthier life by avoiding things that can make our bodies sick, the more we will be happier with a healthy lifestyle.
