First of all, lung cancer found during physical examination does not mean that the patient has contracted lung cancer. Lung cancer is caused by fixed carcinogens, such as smoking, environmental pollution, family inheritance and other factors. Infection is the spread of pathogens to other people through air, food, water or contact. Therefore, lung cancer does not belong to the category of infectious diseases. The detection of lung cancer during physical examination only reveals the abnormality of the patient himself.
Secondly, lung cancer detected during physical examination means that suspicious lesions or abnormal shadows are found during lung examination. These lesions or shadows do not determine whether it is a malignant tumor, but only indicate that the patient needs further examination. For example, your doctor may recommend further testing such as a lung CT scan, thoracoscopy, or lung biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Only through pathological examination can it be determined whether it is lung cancer, its type and stage, and the best treatment plan can be formulated.
The result of a physical examination that detects lung cancer may cause panic and anxiety in patients. However, patients should remain calm and consult a professional doctor for further examination and diagnosis as soon as possible. Early detection of lung cancer and timely treatment can greatly improve patients' survival and cure rates. Therefore, patients should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan and adhere to various examinations and drug treatments during the treatment process.
In addition, the treatment of lung cancer is a long-term, cumbersome and difficult process. Patients need to receive comprehensive treatment including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatments. At the same time, patients also need to actively adjust their lifestyle, such as quitting smoking, eating a reasonable diet, exercising appropriately, etc., to improve immunity and body resistance.
In short, the detection of lung cancer during physical examination does not mean that the patient has been infected with lung cancer, but that the patient has discovered abnormalities in himself. Patients should maintain an optimistic and positive attitude and promptly consult a professional doctor for further examination and treatment. Early detection and treatment of lung cancer have an important impact on the survival rate of patients. Patients must actively cooperate with doctors during the treatment process and adjust their lifestyle to enhance the body's resistance.
