What are the diagnostic methods for lung cancer? 3 diagnostic methods for lung cancer

I believe everyone must have heard of lung cancer, because it can cause serious harm to our body and life, and even cause them to lose their lives. So for our precious life and a better life, we must stay away from the disease. Let's take a look at the diagnosis methods of lung cancer.

1. X-ray examination

It is one of the must-check items and is still the most effective and economical examination method. More than 98% of lung cancer patients can find abnormalities in chest X-rays. In addition, dynamic chest X-ray can make up for the shortcomings of chest X-rays and can find abnormal heart shadows and diaphragm activity, which is helpful for diagnosis.

2. CT

CT is a supplement to X-ray examination, but it cannot replace it. The cross-sectional view of the chest can more clearly show the tumors and enlarged lymph nodes in the mediastinum or near the mediastinum. It can also more clearly show the relationship between the tumor and the chest wall and the degree of invasion. This examination is necessary for patients who have the conditions permit.

3. Magnetic resonance tomography (MRI)

This is a non-radiation-damaging examination that can display the intrathoracic structure in not only cross-sectional views, but also sagittal and coronal views, which means that tumors can be judged from multiple aspects and angles.

Lung cancer is a very common type of cancer clinically, and many people suffer from it. So I hope everyone can pay attention to this disease, try to detect the disease in the early stages, and actively receive treatment, which can greatly increase the cure rate. Of course, it must also be combined with certain dietary therapy methods.
