People at high risk of lung cancer should undergo chest CT every year

For many lung cancer patients, when the disease is discovered, it is often in the late stage. Not only do patients lose the opportunity for surgery, but they also lose the confidence and fighting spirit for treatment, and ultimately fail to receive standardized treatment. In fact, early detection and effective treatment are very important in the treatment of lung cancer.

Early detection means annual physical examinations and screenings. Doctors recommend that citizens over the age of 45, regardless of gender and whether they smoke or not, should have a chest X-ray every year. This is because environment and genetic history are two important factors in preventing lung cancer. Atmosphere, tobacco, fumes, decoration and anger are often the five major factors that lead to lung cancer. If these five conditions are met at the same time, then you are a high-risk group for lung cancer and need to undergo an in-depth physical examination to screen and detect lung cancer early.

If you want to detect lung cancer early, low-dose chest CT is a more reliable method. Clinical data show that low-dose chest CT can detect lung cancer early and reduce the mortality rate by 20%. Especially for people over 45 years old who have smoked for 20 years, they should ensure that they have a chest CT examination every year.
