​​How Much Do You Know About Lung Cancer?​

Lung cancer refers to a malignant tumor originating in the trachea, bronchi, and lungs. It can be classified into two main types: small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The latter further includes subtypes such as adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.

Incidence and Mortality of Lung Cancer​

Who Is at High Risk for Lung Cancer?​

Individuals aged ≥ 40 years with ​​any of the following risk factors​​:

•Smoking ≥ 400 pack-years (including those who quit smoking < 15 years ago);

•Passive or environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure;

•Occupational exposure history (e.g., to asbestos, beryllium, uranium, radon);

•Family history of lung cancer;

•History of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or diffuse lung fibrosis.

How to Prevent Lung Cancer?​

• Undergo regular physical examinations to enable ​​early detection, diagnosis, and treatment​​.

•Adopt a healthy lifestyle: quit smoking (or never start), avoid staying up late, ensure adequate sleep, exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet, limit alcohol intake, manage chronic conditions early, and maintain a positive mood.

•Ensure good indoor ventilation to prevent ​​indoor air pollution​​.

What Are the Diagnostic Methods for Lung Cancer?​

Chest imaging tests (X-rays, CT) are one of the most important methods for ​​detecting​​ lung cancer, while cytological and pathological examinations are ​​necessary for confirming​​ the disease.
