Fanmou patients with a more than 60-year-old woman, six months ago and began to feel dull pain in the left shoulder, when the light weight when, after calcium treatment and traditional Chinese medicine, no effect. In the hospital after a diagnosis of periarthritis, manager of treatment, acupuncture, massage therapy, and so on, his condition had improved, but also increase in the near future. Jan ago, accompanied by family members of patients in the hospital, after X-ray film inspection, were found humeral head of her left shoulder and multiple lung metastases. After CT examination, she finally found the apex of the left-walnut-sized primary lung tumor.Surprisingly, the whole body as a result of lung cancer patients with extensive transfer of death has not occurred cough, hemoptysis, and other respiratory symptoms.

Lung cancer is a common cancer, the incidence increased in recent years, the typical symptoms of Jiuzhibuyu coughing, bloody sputum, difficulty breathing, chest pain, and so on. With medical science over the years a wide range of publicity, when patients occur when most of the above symptoms can be caused by their own families and attention, in time to go to hospital for treatment.But a small number of patients with a special performance, for example, there is no cough, hemoptysis, and other respiratory symptoms, but the emergence of bone and joint pain, swelling of the neck, upper abdominal pain, loss of appetite, headache and other symptoms. They are often repeated in the bone-setting clinic, physiotherapy, Chuan Ranke, and so on. If these sections of the doctor’s lack of vigilance, easily lead to misdiagnosis, misuse of governance, to bring patients with irreversible consequences. According to my own years of clinical experience suggested that the following will help patients and doctors to detect lung cancer is not typical.

smoking history of patients, such as the emergence of unexplained bone and joint pain, headache, even in the absence of respiratory symptoms, should also be thought of the possibility of lung cancer.

Jiuzhibuyu on the same site of the pneumonia patients should be vigilant against the possible occurrence of lung cancer. After the chest X-ray and CT examination can not be a clear diagnosis of patients and can be used for fiberoptic bronchoscopy to help diagnosis.

over 40 years of age, the best conditions each year to conduct a chest X-ray examination.

similar to the clinical manifestations of lung cancer and chest X-ray examination in patients with normal and should be further CT examination, as found in CT lung cancer is more sensitive than chest X-ray.

sputum cytology off simple and easy, without harm to the patient, should give full play to the role of the means of inspection, to help clear diagnosis.
