Lung cancer is difficult to detect in its early stages.

It is quite difficult to recognize lung cancer by self-check

Lung cancer is said to be a cancer that is difficult to detect in its early stages.

It can be said that cough and phlegm, which are common symptoms of lung cancer, can be passed off as a cold with over-the-counter medicines, leading to a delay in the detection of the disease.

If the cough or phlegm persists for more than two weeks or if there is blood in the phlegm, we recommend that you see a doctor.

Shortness of breath or chest pain (many people seem to think it is due to aging).

It is difficult to detect the possibility of lung cancer by self examination. Therefore, it is recommended to have a chest X-ray examination for lung cancer.

Lung Cancer Screening

It is recommended that people over 40 years of age have a chest x-ray every two years or annually if possible

Smokers and people at high risk for lung cancer should consult with a physician to determine the appropriate screening method.

People who have been exposed to asbestos have an increased risk of developing lung cancer, so it is a good idea to inform your doctor about this as well.

Prevention of Lung Cancer

The most effective way to prevent lung cancer is to quit smoking.
If you are currently smoking, stop smoking.
You have probably seen pictures or diagrams comparing the color of a smoker's lungs & a normal lung that is not a smoker.
Some data showed that the likelihood of lung cancer increases by about 5 times just by smoking or not smoking cigarettes.
I am almost certain that this is true because it has been said over a long period of time that smokers increase their chances of getting lung cancer.
All it takes is a small change in your own awareness!

Let's start doing what we can to prevent it!
