Cough is a symptom that will be seen in most lung cancer patients. However, this sign also appears in many other diseases. So to accurately diagnose the disease, in addition to the symptom of cough, do lung cancer patients have any other warning signs?

In Vietnam, each year there are approximately 23,667 new cases and 20,170 deaths from lung cancer. Early detection of lung tumors, especially lung cancer, is particularly important. Lung CT scan is considered an effective method in identifying lung tumors.

Cancer is still one of the incurable diseases that we have to be on high alert in modern life. Cancer screening tests help detect a cancer diagnosis before a patient has clinical symptoms of the disease. Regular screening can help detect some types of cancer early when the tumor is small, has not spread, and is therefore easily treatable. Below are cancer screening tests for specific types of cancer.

Currently, many countries, including ours, are starting to apply a new direction of biomarker testing for lung cancer. The cancer marker test method can help diagnose cancer at an early stage, avoiding the unfortunate consequences of detecting the disease at a too late stage.

Lung cancer screening is the most effective measure for timely detection and treatment of lung cancer, protecting your health and life. Lung cancer screening helps to detect early stage lung cancer (if any), reducing lung cancer mortality by 20% compared with high-risk groups who have never been screened.

When a person is diagnosed with lung cancer, doctors will determine if it has metastasized and, if so, to what parts. This process, called staging, helps describe the amount of cancer in the body.

Usually, signs of lung cancer do not appear until the disease is in an advanced stage. Even when lung cancer causes symptoms, many people can mistake them for other problems, such as an infection or long-term effects from smoking. Therefore, screening will help reduce the risk of dying from lung cancer.

Lung cancer is a common disease, difficult to detect with low effective treatment results, causing the most deaths. While some risk factors for lung cancer, such as smoking, can be changed, others, such as age or family history, cannot be changed.

Lung cancer is a dangerous disease, currently with the second highest incidence and mortality rate of all cancers. With the advancement of medicine, lung cancer can be accurately screened with modern imaging equipment. So how is lung cancer screened, let's find out!

In Vietnam, each year there are about 23,667 new cases and 20,170 deaths from lung cancer. Screening and early detection of lung cancer is the golden rule to protect the health of yourself and your family. So what are the procedures to diagnose lung cancer? Find out in the article below.
