A 74-year-old, physical examination found that the lung has a "peanut" size of the shadow, further inspection actually diagnosed as "lung cancer."
The old man was smoking at least a pack a day, 40 years of age smoke. Late last year, organized medical unit, he was doing the chest CT examination, we found the lower left lung, a "peanut" size of the shadow. He felt his body in good health, walking daily activities do not cough without asthma, and no chest pain, lung, on such a small shadow, I've been there. Unable to his family, took him to the military hospital in Nanjing on August 1 and was admitted to the Oncology Center Thoracic Surgery doctor. Thoracic surgeons have done for him percutaneous lung biopsy, diagnosis of early lung cancer has done with assisted thoracoscopic lung Radical excision. Uneventful recovery and discharged.
Experts say most of the typical lung cancer are cough, hemoptysis, chest pain and fever, such as performance, many patients without typical symptoms of lung cancer, especially small 1 cm lesion within the lung susceptible to omission. Therefore, smokers over the age of 40 should undergo regular chest imaging.

The incidence of lung cancer increased year by year, once got lung cancer, most of all need for surgery. To restore lung function, key to protect the respiratory tract, which is key to the success of surgery.
1, to avoid the cold. The current time when the spring weather warms, the opportunity to increase cold. Do not reduce too much clothing, sun out of time should not be too long, to 20 minutes is appropriate. Patients with allergic rhinitis, the family not to place flowers, not to the park enjoying the flowers to prevent pollen to stimulate the respiratory tract, causing allergic reactions.
2, note that sleep posture. Patients after lung cancer, the two positions should be chosen to sleep. One is lateral to the surgical site 1 / 4 decubitus or supine position, this can prevent mediastinal swing, especially after pneumonectomy. The other is semi-reclining position, as semi-supine vital capacity can be increased by 10% to 15%, so the chest and diaphragm activity to increase, thereby increasing the gas exchange area, improve the ventilation.
3, do not wash your face with cold water. Because the nasal cavity withstand the cold stimulation, leading to nasal blood vessels, affect respiratory function and thus affect wound healing. Wash your face every morning and evening is best to use warm water of 50-60 degrees Celsius, some of the elderly like to use very hot water wash, the water temperature is too high tends to stimulate the respiratory nasal capillary contraction.
4, away from the kitchen. Smoke itself is a carcinogen, especially when the distribution of the sense of cooking oil smoke flavor more dangerous. Kitchen fuel combustion process, to set the amount of NOx surge, but an increase of indoor air pollution, people can cause lung disease after inhaling, there asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and other diseases.
5, moderate exercise properly. Lung Cancer Do not greet any exercise strong winds, as strong winds would directly stimulate the respiratory tract. The best way to Qigong exercise, in particular to enhance the respiratory function of qigong, improve lung function. Given proper training before the analgesic and the help of his family to cough up sputum, exercise in order to not cause chest pain and fatigue is appropriate.
6, and more fresh air. The morning, immediately open the windows to 10 minutes is appropriate. But definitely not to crowded public places or air dirty to avoid respiratory infections.
7, pay attention to diet. Lung cancer patients can not eat spicy food, such as chili, raw onion garlic, pepper, cinnamon, etc., hot pot, fried, grilled, etc. do not eat hot foods. More food rich in vitamins A and C of the food and clearing the lungs lungs and food such as grapes, walnuts, asparagus, loquat, pear.
8, do chest physiotherapy. Family available vibrator (equipment shops or department stores can be purchased), can be placed on the chest, or the methods of hand percussion line of the chest, it is a good sputum discharge.

"A smoke after dinner is better than living god" is the smokers who relish a word, according to archaeologists, as early as 1800 to 2000 BC, when there are records of human smoking. Suiran chemicals within cigarettes are mainly dry tobacco, but is the result of chemical treatment has added a lot to add Chengfen. Lighted cigarette smoke contains about 4,000 chemicals, many toxic substances, causing mutation and several thousands of substances and carcinogens.
In 1924, the United States, "Reader's Digest" published an article the first time, draw attention to smoking is harmful to health.
In 1966, U.S. cigarette packages bearing the new logo to begin: Beware! Smoking is harmful to health.
Lung cancer is the most common primary malignant tumor, most lung cancer originated in the bronchial epithelium, it is also known as lung cancer. Nearly 50 years, the world countries, especially industrialized countries, the incidence and mortality of cancer are rising rapidly, died of lung cancer patients have been men first place. The past 30 years, cases of pulmonary resection of lung cancer increased gradually, has leapt to the top.
The exact cause of lung cancer so far short of understanding, after years of extensive research the following factors currently recognized cause of lung cancer is closely related to: smoking, air pollution, occupational factors, chronic lung disease, human intrinsic factor and so on. >>>> More on lung cancer risk factors, early 20's, the medical profession on the proposed relationship between smoking and lung cancer, but until the 50's, the British medical researchers on the 59 000 British doctors in large-scale surveys study, only a very scientific epidemiological point of view, irrefutable proof that smoking caused lung cancer is the culprit, 8 percent of lung cancer patients are smokers!
Through the figures of lung cancer and smoking:
1, where every year more than 20 cigarettes the number of people suffering from cancer among non-smokers of 7-13 times the amount of smoking and more cancer patients the chance of more.
2, the earlier start time of smoking, lung cancer, the more start smoking before the age of 10 lung cancer patients after a 20-year-old smoker 7 times.
3, passive smokers suffer from lung cancer than the general population of non-smoking big 3-4 times higher than of smoking harm to others, these passive smokers who are smoking families, friends and colleagues.
4, smokers can be seen in the respiratory epithelium cilia degeneration, loss, loss of eliminate the discharge of their functions, cell shape distortion, octagonal, or was as squamous epithelial metaplasia, and this is a prelude to cancer development Qu.
5. Male> / 45 years old, smoking a year> / 400 are at high risk of lung cancer.
6, every 10 seconds, someone dies in the world is in the "cigarettes" on hand.
7, cigarette contains nicotine is enough to kill a mouse.
8, the incidence of lung cancer: smokers as non-smokers of 10.8 times;
9, the annual mortality rate of lung cancer: non-smokers was 12.8/10 million; smoked 10 cigarettes per day below the 95.2/10 million; more than 20 cigarettes per day was 235.4/10 million, compared with non-smokers were 18.4 times higher.
10 carcinogenic substances: smoking smoke there are more than 40 kinds of carcinogens, there is more than 10 kinds of cancer will facilitate the development of the material,
11, can cause a related disease: in all smoking-related diseases, most notably lung cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Why the surge in female lung cancer in recent years?
From 2000 to 2005, an increase of male lung cancer patients was 16.9%, 38.4% of women was significantly higher than men.
1. In recent years, women smokers are more and more Shanghai women, 7% -8% of smokers. The study found that smoking is a male, female common risk factors of lung cancer, and smoking in the same conditions, female lung cancer more than twice as likely as men! The reason is that the female body has an enzyme levels than men high, it can be activated tobacco carcinogen, increasing opportunities for women's cancer.
2. Although most women do not smoke, but many women are living in second-hand smoke environment, and weak awareness of prevention. Smokers live together every day and more than 15 minutes, can be regarded as hazards of passive smoking that day, long-term damage by second-hand smoke will greatly increase the risk of lung cancer risk. Research suggests that in non-smokers but with non-small cell lung cancer about 25% of the population caused by the second-hand smoke. Therefore, WU Yi remind women, we must dare to say no to the second-hand smoke.
3. In addition to cigarettes, smoke is also the woman was an important factor in cancer. A survey shows that in non-smoking female lung cancer risk factors, more than 60% of women had chronic exposure to cooking fumes, cooking, often with eye and throat irritation smoke; with 32% of women prefer to use hot oil when cooking fried food. Long-term inhalation of smoke that cause lung cancer patients with lung cancer in elderly women is particularly prominent risk factor is 2-3 times normal.
Do to prevent lung cancer five details
To prevent the occurrence of lung cancer, should start with details of life.
1, quit smoking. Quit sooner, the lower lung cancer risk; while avoiding passive smoking, from smoking environment; smokers should be considerate of others, take the initiative to consciously control, not smoking in public places.
2, away from the radiation. Under the operation in hazardous environments, it should make protective measures to reduce occupational hazards; to avoid pollution of indoor smoke and decoration, and pay attention to the kitchen's good ventilation; addition, it should stay away from radioactive material.
3, balanced nutrition. Vegetables and fruits rich in carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid and other nutrients beneficial to lung health, should be properly eat; garlic, seafood, cereals, mushroom, sesame, eggs and so rich in selenium, a defense cancer, anti-cancer effect, should be properly eat.
4, to maintain regular lifestyle. Mood, work and rest, exercise and the increase in disease prevention disease resistance.
5, annual lung examination. The early detection of lung cancer, we must raise awareness, strengthen the lungs checks, particularly age over 20 years of smoke, smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day and 40 years old with a long smoking history, family history of cancer or in the toxic and hazardous environmental work groups, should be a year to the regular hospital for CT, this is an effective method of early detection of lung cancer. Have the irritating cough, bloody sputum, chest pain, fever, and repeated lung infections, delayed healing by active anti-inflammatory therapy, we should pay attention to in a timely manner to the hospital.
Experts say: smoking low-tar cigarettes can reduce the risk of lung cancer
Low-tar tobacco and tobacco as a harm generally. Authorities released a tar content on cigarettes and health research shows that low-tar cigarette smoke will not lower the risk of cancer risks; pumping middle-tar and low tar content of cigarettes, tobacco products, died of no significant difference in the proportion of lung cancer.
Quit smoking, the sooner the better
University of Michigan researchers conducted a study of 90 people found that those who quit smoking before the age of 40 after 20 years in smoking cessation, and 55 years later than their peers to quit smoking, their lung cancer death rate is only half of the latter. The researcher said Professor Halpern: "the younger, and the body more effective in repairing the damage caused by smoking."

Nanjing Zhongda Hospital of Southeast University Department of Respiratory Medicine recently a 16-year-old lung cancer patient admissions, dry cough 3 months and found it was already late.
It is understood that the young man love to play, the body has been very strong. 3 months ago he appeared inexplicable cough, occasional cough, but no hemoptysis.
Family that a child suffering from bronchitis, small clinic on the ground with the point of medicine to take, but has not seen improvement. A few days ago, accompanied by his family, to the Nanjing Zhongshan University hospital, checked and found the child turned out to be advanced lung cancer, surgical treatment lost opportunity.
Department of Respiratory Medicine, Zhongda Hospital, said Yong Lin, MD, director of the Division monthly admissions 45 cases of lung cancer patients can have a lot of people do not have bad habits like smoking, but occasionally a little dry cough has been no attention to the hospital when have lost the best timing of surgery. Doctors advise, in the event a dry cough, sputum or cough in the blood and other symptoms, with antibiotic treatment ineffective, it is recommended to immediately go to hospital or long delay for several months, has died, so as not to delay treatment. Do not blindly believe that only smoking and drinking people will suffer from lung cancer, smoking is a risk factor for lung cancer, exposure to passive smoking, environmental pollution, genetic mutations and other factors may cause lung cancer.
