Cancer The Lung: Symptoms And I Diagnose, To Smoke Tobacco Cause Of Pulmonary Cancer

The lung cancer takes place by the exaggerated growth of cells you vitiate in this organ and if it is not diagnosed on time it can move towards other organs of the body. To smoke tobacco is the main cause to contract lung cancer; this disease appears in smokers and ex- smokers.

The lungs are a pair of organs that give oxygen to the body and expel dioxide from carbon. The bronchi are tubes through which the air inspired from the mouth arrives at the lungs; they are divided in other more and smaller tubes, denominated bronchioles, until forming the alveoli that are where the gas interchange takes place with the venous blood.

Symptoms:

The symptoms more frequent than can be presented/displayed are: insistent cough, pain in the chest that increases when breathing, loss of weight and appetite, frequent lack of breath, bronchitis and pneumonia, breathless respiration or with whistle, saliva with blood, aphonic or "roosters" in the voice of persistent form.

Other symptoms that can show the patient and that they must to the extension of the cancer in other zones of the body are: Pain in the bones, yellowish coloration of the skin and the eyes (jaundice), sicknesses, Inflammations in zones ganglionares, like in the neck or armpits, headache, weakness or sleepiness of some member due to an affectation of the brain.

Often the patients with lung cancer undergo initial symptoms that repel on other organs and that do that, at first, it thinks about another disease. To this set of symptoms one denominates paraneoplásicos syndromes to them.

Factors Of Risk:

• The tobacco is the main cause. The tobacco smoke, with its high concentration of carcinogen, is going to stop directly to the air and is inhaled so much by the smokers as by the nonsmokers. To let also smoke reduces of significant way the risk of contracting other diseases related to the tobacco, like the diseases of the heart, emphysema and the chronic bronchitis
• Radon is a radioactive gas. The exhibition to radon combined with the cigarette significantly increases the risk of contracting lung cancer.
• The asbestos is perhaps most well-known of the industrial substances related to the lung cancer, but there are many others: uranium, arsenic, certain products derived from petroleum, etc.
• Some people inherit mutations of the DNA of their parents, which to a great extent increases the risk of developing cancer
• Between the people with risk are the miners who inhale radioactive minerals, like uranium, and the exposed workers to chemical agents like arsenic, the chloride of vinyl, nickel chromates, products derived from the coal, the mustard gas and ethers clorometílicos.
• The marijuana cigarettes contain more tar than those of tobacco.
• The tuberculosis and some types of pneumonia often leave scars in the lung. These scars increase the risk of which the person develops the type of cancer of called lung adenocarcinoma.
• The people who do not receive sufficient vitamin A have a greater risk of suffering of lung cancer.
• The contamination of the air can slightly increase the risk of the lung cancer. This risk is much smaller than the caused one by the habit to smoke.

Diagnose:

Different diagnostics tests exist that they visualize the pulmonary tumors, between which we have; The biopsy, x-rays, computerized tomography (TAC), magnetic resonance (RM), the tomography by positron emission (PET), cytology of saliva mediastinoscopia and mediastinostomía, peluroscopia and toracotomía, analysis of blood, broncoscopia, biopsy of bony marrow.

Types Of Lung Cancer:

According to the appearance of the examined cells to the being through the microscope, the lung cancers can be divided in two types:

Cancer of lung of no small cells: It is associated previously with the smoked salary, to have coexisted with a smoker or smokers or exposed salary been to radon.
Cancer of lung of small cells: One is in people who smoke or used to smoke cigarettes.

Treatment:

The prognosis and the election of treatment will depend on the extension stage in which is the cancer, as large as the tumor or the type of lung cancer. The surgery consists of the extirpation of the tumor and some weaves of the surrounding zone. The chemotherapy consists of the medicine use to eliminate the cancerous cells.

The x-ray consists of the x-rays use of high energy to eliminate cancerous cells and to reduce the size of the tumor. It is recommended to prevent the cancer with lung is to let smoke or avoid the smoke of the tobacco, in the case of nonsmokers. Also it is important to avoid possible cancerigenos products that it can have in the habitual atmosphere.
