TIPS:

Signs and Symptoms of Lung Cancer

Lung cancer dose not cause any symptoms until they have spread too far to be cured, but symptoms do occur in some people with early lung cancer. If you go to your doctor as soon as you notice symptoms, your cancer might be diagnosed at an earlier stage, when treatment is more likely to be effective.

Symptoms of lung cancer that are in the chest:

1. Coughing, especially if it persists or becomes intense

2. Pain in the chest, shoulder, or back unrelated to pain from coughing

3. A change in color or volume of sputum

4. Shortness of breath

5. Changes in the voice or being hoarse

6. Harsh sounds with each breath (stridor)

7. Recurrent lung problems, such as bronchitis or pneumonia

8. Coughing up phlegm or mucus, especially if it is tinged with blood

9. Coughing up blood

If the original lung cancer has spread, a person may feel symptoms in other places in the body. Common places for lung cancer to spread include other parts of the lungs, lymph nodes, bones, brain, liver, and adrenal glands.

Painful Therapy with Traditional Technologies

Surgical excision: painful scar of 30 centimeters

Surgical excision remains the traditional therapy of lung cancer. In the chest, about 30-40 centimeters surgical wound will appear; and even one or two ribs needs to be relieved, which makes the chest be completely exposed to remove the tumor. Experienced such torture, tumor is removed, but many patients will have complications or other induced diseases, which seriously affect patients’ life and work.

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy: unbearable side effects

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy utilize drugs or radiation to kill cancer cells, but also damage other normal cells. Therefore, patients will have severe toxicity, low immunity. Moreover, the fragile body cannot resist the invasion of cancer and other diseases, so that patients also face the threat of death.

New Technologies of Lung Cancer Treatment

Say Good-bye to the Painful Surgery!

Minimally invasive targeted therapy: 2 mm incision, precisely killing cancer cells

Recently, with the development of minimally invasive treatment for cancer, cryosurgery therapy, partical knife, interventional therapy and other minimally invasive technologies of treatment have brought good therapeutic effects to cancer patients. Since 2007, chief expert Peng Xiaochi has led the multidisciplinary team to explore the minimally invasive therapies of thoracic surgery field. Multidisciplinary team of experts applies modern imaging technology to the operation with 1-2 mm incision. Until now, Modern Cancer Hospital, Guangzhou has completed several thousand cases of minimally invasive treatment.

Integrative medicine: less toxic side effects

Chinese medicine can adjust the overall balance of internal environment, which can strengthen the resistance to disease and restrain the development of tumor. In this way, patients will not have discomfort reaction. Besides, Chinese medicine can improve and consolidate the effects of cryosurgery therapy, partical knife, and interventional therapy, which can improve quality of life and prolong life.　　　　　

*Surgery, in addition to the appropriate chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are effective in treating early cancer, but certain patients in late stage of cancer may not be tolerate surgery well as they can be relatively weak. A combination of carefully planned minimally invasive therapy, chemotherapy or radiotherapy can effectively reduce the side effects and discomfort of treatment and may help patient get better efficacy.
