How to prevent lung cancer? Grasp 5 points to avoid the occurrence of lung cancer

To prevent any disease, the first thing to do is to have a strong enough immune system. Basically, the body's immunity should not be very low. The second thing is to avoid contact with the cause of the disease. This can be said to be the basis for preventing any disease, and the same is true for lung cancer prevention. The following is an introduction to the key points of lung cancer prevention:

1. Prohibition and control of smoking: To prohibit and control smoking, we must first focus on reducing the proportion of smokers in the population. It is necessary to formulate certain laws or regulations to restrict people, especially young people from smoking.

2. Control air pollution: Do a good job in environmental protection and effectively control air pollution to achieve the goal of preventing lung cancer.

3. Occupational protection: Effective protective measures should be taken in mining areas where radioactive ores are mined to minimize the amount of radiation exposure to workers. For workers exposed to carcinogenic compounds, various effective labor protection measures must be taken to avoid or reduce contact with carcinogenic factors.

4. Prevent and treat chronic bronchitis: Since the incidence of lung cancer in patients with chronic bronchitis is higher than that in those without chronic bronchitis, active prevention and treatment of chronic bronchitis is of certain significance in preventing lung cancer. In particular, smokers with chronic bronchitis should be persuaded to quit smoking, because the incidence of lung cancer in people with chronic bronchitis who smoke is higher.

5. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment: The screening methods for early lung cancer are still unsatisfactory. The cost of screening for lung cancer in the population is very expensive, and the possibility of reducing lung cancer mortality is very small.

Industrial pollution is an important factor in the current poor air environment and the main cause of lung cancer, but it is one of the factors that cannot be changed at present. The only thing we need to do is to take protective measures when we are exposed to these bad air environments. This is directly related to occupation, such as people on construction sites and people who have been engaged in the chemical industry for a long time.
