WAYS TO PREVENT LUNG CANCER

Lung cancer is the first type of cancer that causes death in men and the second in women. While smoking is an effective reason for lung cancer formation, disease can also be seen in the case of passive smoking or no smoking.

In lung cancer, which has a high risk of life, the rate of early diagnosis and treatment increases gradually.

Symptoms;
▪ Prolonged and progressively worsening cough
▪ Constant shortness of breath and wheezing
▪ Difficulty swallowing
▪ Loss of appetite and slimming
▪ Symptoms such as bloody sputum can be a precursor to lung cancer.

The disease can sometimes progress without symptoms. Therefore, annual routine checks should not be disrupted.

To be protected, cigarettes and tobacco products should be avoided and attention should be paid against passive smoking.

It is important to ventilate the rooms against radon gas in the houses in the basement.
