Prevent Lung Cancer with This Screening!

Smoking remains a highly prevalent habit among individuals. Over time, the brain system may be suppressed by the nicotine in cigarettes, leading to the development of an addictive taste. Smoking increases the chance of contracting harmful diseases.

Lung disease is among the harmful conditions brought on by smoking; if left untreated and not caught in time, even long-term consequences can develop into lung cancer, which is extremely deadly.
 

Risk Factors for Cancer

What is uncontrollable:

• Age
• gender
• cancer history in the family

What is under your control:

• Workplace
• Smoke
• Pollution
• Chronic Lung Disease

What can be done to identify lung cancer early on:

Screening for and early detection of lung cancer

attempts to identify a condition in individuals who do not exhibit symptoms but belong to a group that is highly susceptible to lung cancer before it progresses to cancer. The Lung Cancer Screening and Early Detection Program makes this screening available to us.

Low Dose CT Scan of the Thorax

searches for a disease before it progresses to cancer in individuals who do not yet exhibit symptoms but belong to a population with a high risk of lung cancer.
 

Elevated Danger

Team A:

 

• Over 45 years of age
• smokers (past, active, and ex-smokers for more than ten years)
• Work
• Fibrosis

Team B:

• Over 40 years of age
• Other risk factors including family history of malignancies

 

Symptoms of general lung cancer:

• spitting up or coughing up blood
• Breathing difficulties or shortness of breath
• chest ache
• a neck lump
• Loss of appetite and weight
• Pain in the bones and headache

 

Avoidance measures that are feasible:

• Take up a healthy way of living
• Give up smoking.
• Select a meal that emphasizes healthful foods.
• Engage in regular exercise

 

Questionnaire for Lung Cancer Screening and Early Detection :

The KNOW PARU Questionnaire (NARU):

* QR Code: short.az/NARUSKRINING
 

Levels of Risk for Lung Cancer :

Risk Factor Rating

• < 11: Light
• 12–16: Moderate
• 17–29: Heavily

Procedure for Diagnosing Lung Cancer :

• physical assessment
• bronchoscopy
• x-ray of the chest
• CT scan of the torso using contrast
• Pathology of the Anatomy
• Exams Molecular
• cranial CT scan
   

A lung cancer patient will have a higher quality of life if the disease is discovered early on. Therefore, if you have similar symptoms, it would be best if we conducted lung cancer screening and early detection. We would also like to speak with and perform additional exams with a lung specialist at Hermina Soreang Hospital.
