Know The Symptoms of Lung Cancer

Lungs are the organs in theRespiratory system. Lung function is to change the oxygen in the system of carbon dioxide from the blood with the help of hemoglobin. This process is known as respiration or everywhere.

Lungs are located in the thoracic cavity, protected by the bony structure and the membrane wall contained pleural effusion. Lung cancer is a tumor that grows in the lungs, most of which originate from cells in the lungs. But lung cancer can also come from cancer in other parts of the body that spreads to the lungs.

More than 90 percent lung disease This came from bronchitis or channel air into the lungs. This cancer can be called karisnoma cells skuamosa, karisnoma small cells or cells karisnoma wheat, kasrinoma cells, and adenokarnoma. Karisnoma derived from alveolar cells in the alveoli in the lungs. This cancer can be a single growth. But more often attack from one region in the lungs.

However, not all cancers or tumors that can be found, some lung cancers that occur more rarely, adenoma, a benign cancer, and that sarkoma categorized malignant cancer.

Only a small part of lung cancer more or less around 10-15 percent in men and 5 percent in women caused by the substances found in dihirup or the work place. Some symptoms that can be seen and felt from lung cancer, the other, breathlessness, cough linger, coughing blood, chest pain, sigh, fever and weight loss.

Usually these symptoms will arise when the cancer has turned the stadium, which means that a smoker will not be aware that it affected cancer since a young age. Symptoms of lung disease that often occurs in people usually form cough-cough, which are smoking, difficulty breathing, the sound changed from normal, and cough for more than two weeks in people who do not smoke.

Period of people affected by lung cancer is about 10-15 years old. If since the age of 15 years who have been smoking, possibly at the age of about 35 or 40 years who is suffering lung cancer. Diagnosis on lung cancer based on the type of cell types, and signs enough. One way that can be used is to consume antioxidant which is a compound that can neutralize free radicals with the way cells protect the body, especially the lungs. But, this is the way the last treatment and not a 100 percent obstruct or prevent cancer. This is only to reduce the risk of cancer.

There are several antioxidants that can be consumed, namely Vitamin A, C and E in the form of food supplements. These antioxidants protect the lungs against damage by oxidation and fraktur (fr). Some types of food such as soybeans, tofu, soybean cake, and fermented soybean cake compound also contains genistein, which is antioxidant and anti-tumor strong, can stimulate the immune system. Mechanism for recovery work is stimulating tumor cells into normal cells, especially in lung cancer. Green tea, which contains bioflavonoid Epi-Gallo Catechin Gallat is an antioxidant that terkuat activity 10 times stronger than vitamin C.

There are several types of treatment of this disease, namely surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. This type of treatment tailored to the type of cancer, the level of expansion or spreading on the diagnosis, and the overall health condition of people. Operation is the main action treatment in the early stages of cancer. Patients who can not undergo the operation can switch to the radio therapy.

The level of curing disease lung cancer is still very good, if still in the early stages. The problem, cancer is rarely detected at this stage. If cancer cells have spread to other areas, the choice of treatment is chemotherapy and radio therapy. If the cancer obstructs the flow of the main air, can be used lasers to freeze neoplasm or keep open the flow of air with a stent, or tube
