What methods are effective in preventing small cell lung cancer

What methods are effective in preventing small cell lung cancer? For every patient with small cell lung cancer, timely treatment is very necessary and critical. For healthy people, we must do a good job in preventing the disease. Today we will take a look at what methods are effective in preventing small cell lung cancer:

Prevention of lung cancer is better than cure, and prevention is mainly divided into three levels.

Primary prevention is aimed at healthy people, mainly including not smoking and staying away from secondhand smoke pollution. The occurrence of lung cancer is closely related to people's living habits, such as smoking. Epidemiology and scientific experiments have successively proved that cigarettes contain 42 carcinogens, and lung cancer is closely related to smoking. Studies have shown that the incidence of lung cancer in long-term smokers is 1020 times higher than that of non-smokers. The younger the smoker, the more he smokes, and the longer he smokes, the more dangerous it is; female smokers are twice as likely to develop lung cancer as men. Try to avoid outdoor air pollution and kitchen fumes. Choose environmentally friendly decoration materials. Eat a balanced diet and eat more grains, vegetables, and fruits. Maintain an optimistic and positive attitude towards life and improve psychological adaptability.

Secondary prevention, early diagnosis and early treatment are aimed at high-risk groups, mainly long-term smokers over 40 years old, smokers for more than 20 years, smokers under 20 years old who start smoking and smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, people who are often exposed to coal smoke, coal tar and oil smoke, people who are exposed to excessive radiation (miners, etc.), people with chronic cough, blood in sputum and family history of lung cancer. It is best for high-risk groups to have regular comprehensive physical examinations every year, and CT examinations if conditions permit. If symptoms such as irritating cough, bloody sputum and hemoptysis occur, they should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

The tertiary prevention is rehabilitation prevention. Lung cancer patients should follow the doctor's advice and go to the hospital for regular checkups.
