🚨Who is the "lung cancer risk group"? 🚨

📍 lung cancer is still the most fatal disease in the world, accounting for one in five cancer deaths 😱 in Thailand. Lung cancer is very common in males and is also a major cause in females. What is worrying is that more than 70% of new patients are found in stage 4, when the disease has spread, unfortunately reducing their chances of healing.

📍 to understand if they are in a vulnerable group, including early screening properly, are important factors that significantly reduce mortality.

🚨 lung cancer risk group 🚨

1) People who smoke or have ever smoked

👉 85-90% of the biggest causes of lung cancer come from smoking, including those who do not smoke themselves but are exposed to cigarette smoke regularly.

2) Over 50-65 years of age

👉 The older the age, the higher the cumulative risk, especially around the age of 70.

3) People who have been severely infected with COVID-19 or have chronic symptoms after infection.

👉 Although COVID-19 does not "directly increase the likelihood of lung cancer," long-term damage to the lungs, such as chronic inflammation, scarring in lung tissue, reduced lung function, including weakened immunity in the elderly, all make the lungs weak and may increase the risk of chronic respiratory diseases, which are fundamental factors associated with the likelihood of long-term cell disorders.

4) People who touch radon gas in their homes or air-constricted buildings.

👉 Radon gas is a natural radioactive substance that can increase lung cancer risk, even in non-smokers.

5) Who works or is in a carcinogenic environment

👉, such as asbestos, exhaust fumes, asenics, uranium, or various industrial chemicals.

6) People with a family history of lung cancer

👉 Genetic factors can significantly increase risk.

7) Those living in highly polluted areas

👉, smoke from combustion, 2.5 dust, vehicle smoke and industrial pollution all increase the chance of long-term lung cancer.

Lung health should be monitored consistently. ✅

Warning symptoms of lung cancer that should not be overlooked 🤔

• Chronic cough or blood cough

• Chest pain without obvious cause

• Shortness of breath, shortness of breath

• Unknown-cause rapid weight loss

• Easy to get tired, unusually weak

The sooner these symptoms are found, the more likely they are to heal.

✨ conclusions. Knowing risk is the best protection.

✅. Check if they're into a vulnerable group network.

✅ Avoid risk factors that can be controlled.

✅ choose appropriate screening, especially LDCT, in people aged 50 and over and smoking.

✅ Notice the body's abnormalities.

✅ People who have had severe COVID-19 addiction should pay special attention to lung health.

👉 lung cancer can be cured. If detected at an early stage, knowing one's own risks is the "most important first step" for truly preventing and preserving one's own life.
