Can early lung cancer be detected by CT scan? The effect will be better if these two tests are combined

In life, if you have a disease, you need to go to the hospital for examination before you can get treatment. If you find that you are feeling unwell, you must go to the hospital for examination in time so that you can choose the appropriate treatment method. Lung cancer is a tumor disease that can be seen through CT in the early stage. Of course, the effect will be better when combined with X-ray or fiber bronchoscope examination.

Lung cancer is a cancer with the highest incidence and mortality rate in China, and there are many causes of this disease. When the body is suffering from lung cancer, it will cause the patient to have some symptoms, and these symptoms will also be different as the disease progresses. Lung cancer is divided into three stages according to the severity of the disease: early, middle and late. So can early lung cancer be detected by CT?
When suffering from lung cancer in the early stages, the patient may suffer from persistent coughing, chest pain, and repeated attacks of pneumonia. In this case, the patient will go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis in time. However, in the early stages of lung cancer, because the tumor is still relatively small, it can be seen using CT alone, but it will be clearer with X-ray examination and fiber bronchoscopy to avoid misdiagnosis.
Early lung cancer is usually diagnosed by CT and X-ray. For example, during a physical examination at work, an X-ray is taken. X-rays show that the lung texture is thickened and thickened, and shadows or suspicious nodules can also be seen. Generally, CT can scan 1 mm layer and conventional CT has 5 mm and 7.5 mm. Through CT, very small abnormal lung lesions can be seen, and the minimum can be as small as 3 mm. They can all be seen clearly, but if you want to confirm the diagnosis, it is best to cooperate with X-ray or fiber bronchoscopy for diagnosis.
CT is a necessary examination instrument in hospitals. In life, many people go to the hospital for examination when they feel discomfort inside their bodies. Doctors will recommend patients to take CT examinations, which can better judge some internal diseases. Lung cancer is a common and serious lung malignancy. Although the tumor is small in the early stage, obvious tumor shadows or nodules can be seen through CT. If lung cancer is confirmed by CT examination, it must be treated in time to prevent lung cancer from worsening and affecting health.
From the above introduction, we can understand that lung cancer is a relatively serious disease and is also relatively easy to diagnose. Therefore, when you feel unwell, such as coughing, chest pain, or abnormal breathing, you must go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis in time. If it is lung cancer, you must undergo surgical treatment in the early stages to avoid serious illness affecting treatment.
