This conclusion made the man unbelievable.
Dr. Su said many patients with lung cancer were very shocked because they did not smoke, if they didn't drink alcohol, how could they get lung cancer.However, he pointed out that to prevent lung cancer, stay away from air pollution, non -smoking and kitchen smoking are only basic conditions.

Lung cancer is one of the most dangerous cancers, both men and women are likely to suffer from this disease.Although early stage lung cancer usually has no clear symptoms, when the condition becomes more serious, lung cancer will affect the surrounding lung tissue and cause many symptoms.If you have back pain or headache, be careful!
4 early warning signs of lung cancer
According to Vinmec International Hospital, lung cancer has 4 early warning signs that you should not ignore:
- Cough lasts
This is a sign of lung cancer that is likely to appear earliest.If a tumor inserts into one of the bronchi, the main gas paths go to the lungs, it will activate the cough receptor.However, cough is a very specific symptom.Both colds and common flu may survive for a few weeks.Despite the sensitive lungs, it will not be normal when the cough lasts even after the runny nose and other symptoms disappear.If you have a cough that lasts for 2-3 weeks and not due to any virus or bacterial disease, it is a sign that you should see a doctor.
- Shortness of breath
The feeling of shortness of breath is an early sign of lung cancer, according to the American Cancer Association.Although shortness of breath often appears in the later stages of the disease, it also often appears when a tumor obstructs the airway.Therefore, when there is any unexplained breathing symptoms, you should see a doctor.
- Coughing up blood
Some patients will cough if the tumor is close to the bronchi.If coughing up blood or small amount of reddish brown sputum that cannot be explained, you must see a doctor as soon as possible.If you have more dizziness or shortness of breath, you should see a doctor immediately.
- Chest pain
Pulmonary cancer can cause pain: large tumor pinched, bone metastatic cancer or pleural fluid ... chest pain due to lung cancer will be more serious when coughing, laughing or deep breathing.
Because chest pain can be a sign of some serious diseases, tell your doctor if there is any discomfort without explaining in this area.Any persistent or serious chest pain should be tested.If you experience other characteristic symptoms such as chest pressure, sweating, nausea, dizziness or shortness of breath, you should go to the doctor as soon as possible.
