Reminder from Dr. Chen: |
|
Over the past decade, lung cancer has consistently been the leading cause of cancer
death in Taiwan, earning the moniker "Taiwan's new national disease." The terror of
lung cancer lies in its initially inconspicuous symptoms, with most patients only
seeking medical attention when they experience significant discomfort, by which time
the disease has often progressed to a mid or late stage, significantly lowering
survival rates. In response to the significant threat lung cancer poses to the
Taiwanese population, the country has recently implemented low-dose chest CT scans
for screening. Compared to traditional chest X-rays, this method more easily detects
small pulmonary nodules (larger than 0.3 cm), offering increased opportunities for
early diagnosis of lung cancer through screening. It's recommended to immediately
consult a thoracic medicine or thoracic surgery specialist for further diagnosis if
a pulmonary nodule larger than 0.5 cm is encountered.
Modern treatments for lung cancer are increasingly advanced. If the patient's
condition allows, localized surgical treatment is generally recommended. This
method, which involves removing the tumor and lymph nodes and determining the stage
of lung cancer, is the best approach for prognosis. However, for patients with poor
cardiopulmonary function or advanced age, options like radiation therapy or ablation
therapy are also viable. For advanced lung cancer, in addition to traditional
chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy are now available, offering more
hope to patients in advanced stages. The specific treatment method should be
determined in consultation with an experienced and professional medical team to
achieve the best treatment outcome.
