Prevention & Early Detection for Lung Cancer

PREVENTION AND EARLY DETECTION FOR LUNG CANCER

Lung cancer represents one of the root cause death effect of ferocity disease at woman and men. Annual frequency and mortality increasing at 25 the last year. Estimated by 177.000 new cases of lung cancer in United States and 149.000 patient die in the 1993.

In fact, Lung cancer lung is often met at] stadium which continue and with effect of ugly prognosis. They have been screening and early detection but its result still controversial. Till now there is no especial organization, which recommend censorship to lung cancer because, still not yet earned to degrade lung cancer morbidity and mortality. A successful strategy of censorship of lung cancer is can detect disease at curative therapy moment pre clinic stadium can be given and also there are no metastases. Best result in assessment of censorship of lung cancer is degradation of mortality number.^2,3

Some researcher and in various country group prevention of lung cancer become secondary and primary.

PRIMARY PREVENTION

Primary prevention of lung cancer especially is to stop a habit to smoke, which have taken place and prevent nonsmoker become smoker. Preventive or reduction smoke to earn also gone through to applying of regulations about cigarette. Other Preventive is to avoid exposure from other materials, which have the character of carcinogenic. Expected effect from primary prevention is to lessen cancer

SECONDARY PREVENTION

Secondary Preventive strategy addressed [at] interrupting cancerous journey naturally before rounding into disease which symptomatic. Included in secondary prevention are detecting early, chemo prevention and micro nutrition

Lung cancer early practically is lung cancer of the size 1-2 cm, still including I stadium and at the case of surgery admit of to be executed. The result of which is expected from prevention of secondary are degradation of lung cancer prevalence.

SOME METHODE FOR EARLY DETECTION OF LUNG CANCER

The examination for cytology sputum represents the single noninvasive method able to detect pre-malignant lesion or in-situ carcinoma. Early invention of lung cancer enabled to through examination of sputum cytology every four months. Different from early detection for cervix cancer which easier relative found with inspection of direct inspection and cytology. Early detection of Lung cancer is difficultly found. Limitation examination of sputum cytology cannot determine location from cancer, in generally result of which are positive a more regular got by lesion laid at more central.

Chest x-ray

Examination with chest x-ray can show disparity of fairish lung 1 cm. If this examination is periodically recognizable every year tumor which emerge at one time and not yet been found previously. To determine ferocity at one particular fairish disparity 1Cm is difficult. When certainty of the cancer can be determined, generally lung cancer of the size 1-2 cm still including stage I and practically this cancer admit of to be referred by early lung cancer. Some limitation of Chest X-ray cannot determine type from tumor and relative difficult to detect tumor laid in central.

CT Scan

CT-scan only used at some developed countries, which generally use health insurance.

Third method of examination addressed specially to high risk faction group that is :

1. men have age [to] more than 40 year.
2. heavy smoker sucking 20 cigarette or more every day.
3. worker at conducive environment incidence of lung cancer (asbestos factory, paint, plastic and others)

PROBLEMS

From some research, between result of censorship without censorship got that lung cancer operabilitas with censorship method only 15% while without censorship 10%, so that some circle do not use the way of censorship as detecting early lung cancer

CONCLUSION

1. Prevention of Lung Cancer can be conducted by scondary and primary.
2. Diagnosis early lung cancer can be conducted by censorship with cytology sputum method each; every four months, annual chest a-ray and CT-SCAN thorax in certain nations.
3. There no difference having a meaning between patient conducting censorship of lung cancer and patient which do not conduct censorship of lung cancer seen from mortality number and morbidity
