Ilona Warf's blog ::General Facts on Lung Cancer - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment For Lung Cancer










Physicians               who               treat               patients               at               risk               of               developing               lung               cancer               may               have               a               new               diagnostic               tool               at               their               disposal               if               researchers               get               their               way.

Researchers               made               this               announcement               in               a               recent               press               release.

Currently,               the               standard               treatment               to               detect               lung               cancer               involves               using               CT               scanning.

CT               scans               are               useful               to               detect               anatomical               changes               that               have               occurred               in               a               patient's               lungs,               however               the               PET               scan               provides               different               data.
               Using               a               PET               scan,               it               is               possible               to               detect               minor               biochemical               processes               that               are               not               detectable               by               a               CT               scan.

These               biochemical               processes               often               occur               long               before               a               patient               is               officially               diagnosed               with               lung               cancer.
               When               a               patient               is               diagnosed               with               lung               cancer,               they               are               staged.

Staging               refers               to               the               prognosis               and               treatment               plan               that               is               put               into               place               once               a               patient               is               diagnosed               with               lung               cancer.

Staging               is               based               upon               the               severity               and               degree               of               damage               that               has               happened               to               a               patient's               lung.
               CT               scans               are               useful               to               identify               the               stage               of               cancer               that               a               patient               is               experiencing.

The               cancer               patients               lungs               are               examined               to               detect               any               anatomical               changes               that               have               transpired.

However,               the               CT               scan               is               not               particularly               effective               at               diagnosis               new               cases               of               lung               cancer               before               they               have               become               more               severe.
               Researchers               have               determined               that               the               PET               scan               differentiates               between               malignant               and               benign               tumors               that               are               very               small,               even               as               small               as               1               centimeter.

In               addition,               the               PET               scan               is               more               effective               at               providing               useful               data               concerning               how               far               lung               cancer               has               advanced,               into               the               lymph               nodes               that               are               in               the               center               of               one's               chest               (mediastinal).
               Armed               with               this               information,               physicians               can               select               the               most               appropriate               course               of               treatment               for               each               lung               cancer               patient.
               To               the               layman,               CT               and               PET               scans               are               easily               confused.

The               same               machinery               can               be               used               when               conducting               either               scan.

However,               the               PET               scan               shows               the               molecular               activity               that               occurs               inside               of               a               person's               body.

The               CT               scan               simply               shows               the               structure               of               a               persons               body,               and               does               not               show               the               molecules.
               Although               it               is               not               discussed               nearly               as               much               as               many               other               forms               of               cancer,               lung               cancer               causes               more               deaths               than               any               other               type               of               cancer.

In               2007               alone,               lung               cancer               will               claim               an               estimated               1.3               million               lives               worldwide.
               Common               symptoms               of               lung               cancer               include               coughing               (particularly               when               someone               coughs               up               blood),               shortness               of               breath,               and               weight               loss.
               "Lung               cancer               remains               the               leading               cause               of               cancer-related               death               and               early               diagnosis               provides               the               best               chance               for               long               term               survival.

It               is               our               hope               this               systematic               review               contributes               to               clinical               guideline               discussions               exploring               the               potential               of               PET               as               part               of               standard               preoperative               work-up               -               along               with               computed               tomography               (CT)               -               to               further               enhance               assessment               of               early-stage               lung               cancer,"               said               Dr.

    According               to               the               Center               of               Disease               Control               (CDC),               cancer               is               the               second               leading               cause               of               death               in               the               United               States,               with               lung               cancer               being               the               number               one               cancer,               and               the               most               preventable               cancer.

    There               are               not               pronounced               symptoms               of               lung               cancer               in               early               stages,               so               many               people               who               develop               lung               cancer               will               not               suffer               from               the               symptoms               of               lung               cancer               until               advanced               stages.

    Symptoms               of               Lung               Cancer
                   According               to               the               Mayo               Clinic,               advanced               stages               of               lung               cancer               cause               the               following               symptoms:               a               new,               chronic               cough,               or               changes               in               a               chronic,               "smoker's               cough,"               coughing               up               any               amount               of               blood,               shortness               of               breath,               wheezing,               hoarse               voice,               unintentional               weight               loss,               bone               pain,               and               headaches.
                   Risk               Factors               for               Lung               Cancer
                   cancer.net               lists               the               following               risk               factors               for               developing               lung               cancer:               smoking-               most               lung               cancers               occur               in               smokers,               or               past               smokers-               secondhand               smoke               also               increases               the               risk               of               lung               cancer,               working               around               asbestos,               especially               if               you               are               exposed               to               asbestos               and               smoke,               and               exposure               to               radon,               which               can               be               prevented               by               purchasing               a               kit               for               testing               radon               levels               in               your               home.
                   Prevention
                   According               to               cancer.net,               the               most               important               preventative               measure               you               can               take               to               prevent               lung               cancer               is               to               avoid               smoking,               or               quit               smoking.

    As               stated               earlier,               lung               cancer               is               the               number               one               cancer               among               cancers               each               year               and               it               also               is               the               number               one               preventative               cancer.

    Since               heart               disease               is               the               leading               cause               of               death               in               the               U.S               (               CDC)               and               smoking               causes               heart               disease               and               the               second               leading               cause               of               death               is               cancer,               with               lung               cancer               being               the               number               one               cancer,               a               person               could               potentially               eliminate               the               two               leading               causes               of               death               by               not               smoking,               or               quitting               smoking.
                   the               five               year               survival               rate               for               someone               diagnosed               with               lung               cancer               is               16%               (               cancer.net).

    That               is               not               good               odds               and               since               lung               cancer               goes               unnoticed               until               advanced               stages,               prevention               is               the               most               important               factor               in               lung               cancer               awareness.

    So,               to               state               the               facts               bluntly,               if               smoking               causes               heart               disease               and               lung               cancer,               the               two               top               killers,               and               only               16%               of               people               survive               lung               cancer               past               five               years               and               lung               cancer               is               almost               always               related               to               smoking,               if               a=b               and               b=c,               then               a=c.

    If               you               smoke,               you               will               get               heart               disease               or               lung               cancer               and               you               will               die.

    It               is               not               about               the               signs               and               symptoms               of               lung               cancer               and               the               risk               factors               are               predominately               smoke-related-               prevention               is               key.

    Lung               cancer               is               almost               always               preventable.

    Their               rate               of               growth               and               where               they               start               in               the               lungs               are               vastly               different.

    However,               both               are               caused               by               the               same               things.

    Second               Hand               Smoke               and               Smoking
                   90%               of               all               lung               cancer               cases               are               caused               by               smoking.

    Smoking               tobacco               has               over               4,000               chemicals               that               will               increase               the               risk               for               developing               cancer               cells               in               the               lung,               25               times               more               likely               than               the               average               nonsmoker.

    Passive,               or               second               hand,               smoking               can               also               increase               the               likelihood               of               lung               cancer.

    There               are               3,000               or               so               deaths               from               lung               cancer               from               those               that               are               second               hand               smokers               (those               living               with               a               smoker               have               a               24%               increase               in               lung               cancer               than               those               that               reside               with               a               nonsmoker).
                   Radon               and               Asbestos
                   12%               of               all               lung               cancer               deaths               are               from               radon               (a               natural               gas               that               is               the               decay               of               uranium).

    While               the               gas               is               invisible               and               odorless,               there               are               now               simple               test               kits               that               can               be               purchased               to               show               the               levels               of               radon               in               your               home.
                   Asbestos               are               silicate               fibers               that               can               be               in               many               workplaces.

    It               was               used               in               insulation               and               is               not               limited               or               completely               banned.

    According               to               the               cancer               statistics,               workers               around               asbestos               that               do               not               smoke               have               a               five               time               risk               of               lung               cancer               while               workers               that               do               smoke               that               are               around               asbestos               have               a               50-90               time               risk               of               lung               cancer.
                   History               and               Hereditary               Issues
                   There               is               an               increased               risk               of               getting               lung               cancer               is               you               have               a               family               predisposition               to               the               disease.

    If               you               have               survived               a               lung               cancer               threat,               you               also               now               have               a               higher               risk               to               getting               a               secondary               lung               cancer.

    These               risk               factors               are               beyond               our               control               but               are               still               very               real.
                   Pollution
                   Bad               air               quality               is               another               risk               factor               and               cause               of               lung               cancer.

    1%               of               the               deaths               from               cancer               are               from               breathing               overly               polluted               air.

    There               are               some               that               believe               that               the               air               pollution               factor               is               as               real               a               threat               to               cancer               causes               as               passive               smoking               (or               second               hand               smoking).

    Always               check               the               air               quality               before               you               start               to               do               outdoor               activities               and               when               doing               some               activities               perhaps               a               mask               should               be               worn               if               you               have               other               risk               factors               for               the               causes               of               lung               cancer.
