Now we will explain to you The government currently provides subsidies for low-dose CT scans. Who are the subjects of the screening? Let's take a look at this flashcard first. We can see there are two major ethnic groups. Should we ask the doctor to explain these two groups to us? These two are very important. One is having a family history of lung cancer. Actually, in Western countries, they consider smoking to be the most important factor. In Western countries, a smoker would typically be said to consume about 30 pack-years. The meaning of "30包年" is that You smoke one pack a year. Should smoke one pack a day for over 30 years 30 packs per year These patients should say these healthy people He is more prone to lung cancer. In Taiwan, it's the opposite. These patients, these healthy people His actual chance of getting lung cancer is actually relatively low. Instead, only 0.6% Instead, there is a family history of lung cancer. The chance of these people developing lung cancer is approximately 1.5%. So actually, there is a family history of lung cancer. It is also another important risk factor. A family history of lung cancer is not merely a matter of genetics. Due to family history of lung cancer, as you live in the same area The same environment So it's also possible to say Because we breathe the same air The impact of the same air Therefore, all these factors could increase your risk of developing lung cancer. So it's not merely a genetic issue. There are still some possibilities related to air. The impact of your living environment So from this set of our flashcards As everyone can see, it's between the two major ethnic groups. A history of moderate smoking Then the other factor, of course, is a family history. So if you have a first-degree relative nearby Everyone has this lung cancer In the case of this medical history, You must pay special attention to this. That would also meet our screening criteria. You can undergo this low-dose CT scan early. Even if you do not meet the qualifications In fact, we also encourage the public to voluntarily pay for such screenings. Yes, yes Because if everyone cares about their own health Actually, spending just a few thousand bucks You can save your own life. Because if your lung cancer is stage four, advanced But if you detect it early Your survival rate is over ninety percent. That little thing can save your life for just a few thousand bucks. That way, knowing you have no problems makes me even happier. If it had been discovered earlier, treatment could have started sooner. It is also a good screening method. Yes, so in fact, by means of this approach We would like to further consult with the physician. Just mentioned smoking Then, additionally, there is a family history like this. And the other one? If we consider this practical aspect From your clinical experience What are the other causes of lung cancer? You think it's something worth sharing with others. Actually, besides this, Everyone knows that current research is currently Air pollution is quite important. The areas with more severe air pollution The higher the chance he will develop lung cancer. That also naturally relates to the duration of your exposure. That certain occupational history Exposure to some things that pollute the air It is related, after all. Everyone knows about smoking, right? Therefore, quitting smoking is also a quite important issue. Back then, we discovered that it seemed related to cooking fumes. Our cooking fumes may be related. That's because everyone now has cigarette machines. Therefore, the impact may not be so high. But if everyone is cooking at home When stir-frying, turn on the exhaust fan. This can reduce the chance of developing lung cancer. We have just finished this street survey Actually, some members of the public are also concerned. Because I don't smoke myself, and none of the people around me smoke either. But he himself is worried about being in this kitchen Is it the cooking oil fumes after being left for a long time? This will affect his probability of developing lung cancer. Yeah, that's right. Then I will consult with the doctor. Because it follows along with this discussion That is to say, actually in Taiwan The incidence rate of lung adenocarcinoma Actually, it is relatively high. So can we consult the doctor? How is lung cancer generally classified? That is a good question. Because our lung cancer is a tumor A carbuncle is when... lung-originating tumors and cancers Primary lung cancer is simply called lung cancer. Actually, one of them is called small cell lung cancer. He accounts for approximately 6% in Taiwan. six percent Approximately one thousand cases per year This mostly occurs in males. It has a lot to do with smoking. That's something most people probably haven't heard much about. Relatively speaking, the majority More than 15,000 people are all non-small cell lung cancer patients. That is the most common type of non-small cell lung cancer. Over 80% are the most common type of lung adenocarcinoma we encounter. That's the lung adenocarcinoma, the one most commonly heard of It is actually a type of non-small cell lung cancer. That, in contrast, is the other kind called clinical cell carcinoma Regarding clinical cell carcinoma, He is also more associated with male smoking. So it's actually more related to smoking. Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma also has this. Small cell lung cancer is related to smoking. Compared to smoking, lung adenocarcinoma is relatively less associated with smoking. It's relatively unrelated. Moreover, there are very few other types, such as large cell carcinoma. or other cancers On that scale, it's roughly less than 5%. We also know that according to WHO Actually, lung cancer is not just an issue in Taiwan. The situation is extremely serious worldwide. In fact, it's the top-ranking cancer. But according to Data released by the WHO shows Smoking is actually more common abroad. The incidence rate of lung cancer caused by it is relatively high. That's just right in Taiwan Actually, we're smoking slowly. The proportion of men who smoke It seems to be gradually decreasing. But non-smoking Like women, it seems also A persistently high-level issue Now, we would like to consult with the doctor. That is to say, since we just mentioned At first, there wasn't actually This symptom Are we not... Often There will be a reminder. Where exactly did the incident occur? What are the conditions associated with this lung cancer? You must pay special attention to whether that is the case or not. What are the main symptoms? Please, doctor. Share it with us Actually, this is very important because Most of an early one I just mentioned the tenth issue, the first issue, and even the second issue. Lung cancer almost has no symptoms. Usually, when you have symptoms and feel unwell Then went for another examination and found it was stage three. or stage four lung cancer So of course we know inside the lungs You might cough, you might wheeze. My chest hurts, I feel uncomfortable. A more severe case might lead to weight loss. Voice changes, voice becomes hoarse Because it would touch a nerve with us Then, if he transfers to Transferred to the brain elsewhere May cause headache or confusion If it spreads to the bones, then it will cause bone pain. Therefore, he will proceed according to the site to which he transfers. Some symptoms, even if they have metastasized, are still considered stage four. Even in advanced stages
