Experts call for early screening for lung cancer
Reducing the smoking rate of the population, strengthening the early screening of lung cancer, promoting the minimally invasive techniques of thoracic surgery and precision radiotherapy, attaching importance to the individualized diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer under the guidance of genetic testing, and disseminating the concept of precision medicine have become the focus of lung cancer prevention and control work in China.
The 8th China Lung Cancer North-South Summit Forum was held in Beijing on the 16th. More than 400 experts and scholars in the field of lung cancer prevention and treatment, such as oncology and thoracic surgery, from several hospitals across the country, jointly explored the prevention and treatment of lung cancer. Experts attending the meeting believe that the incidence and mortality rate of lung cancer in China will further increase in the future. At present, lung cancer is the most common malignant tumor in China and the "first killer" of cancer death.
Early diagnosis and early treatment have become the common suggestions of experts. Zhi Xiuyi, director of the Propaganda Department of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association and director of the Lung Cancer Clinic of the Capital Medical University, said that high-risk groups of lung cancer are locked in high-risk areas of lung cancer. Regular low-dose spiral chest CT screening can be found in many patients with early-stage lung cancer. Early lung cancer can achieve clinical cure through minimally invasive surgery.
"There is no clinical symptom in early stage of lung cancer. Many patients with lung cancer are diagnosed by symptoms. When clinically diagnosed lung cancer is diagnosed as local advanced or advanced lung cancer, they lose the best treatment opportunity. This is also the highest mortality rate in China. Important reasons." Zhi Xiuyi said.
Through the low-dose spiral CT of the chest, together with blood tumor markers, related gene detection and liquid biopsy techniques, and lung cancer antibody detection techniques, "early lung cancer" can be found, if the lung lesions are less than 2 cm, or less than 1 The sub-cm lesion of centimeters has a five-year survival rate of nearly 100% after surgical treatment.
Suggestions for support should be used to promote early screening of lung cancer in the whole society, and appeal to the public, especially middle-aged and elderly friends, to pay attention to regular physical examinations and to emphasize the role of chest CT in early lung cancer screening. "Not only calls for governments at all levels to pay attention to cancer screening programs, but also hope that enterprises and institutions can incorporate low-dose spiral CT of chest into the health checkup program for middle-aged and elderly workers. If middle-aged and elderly friends are at high risk of lung cancer, they should also spend one or two hundred yuan. Go to the hospital or physical examination center for a chest CT examination."
