Lung cancer can also occur without symptoms, so it is often detected too late. However, modern methods make it possible to detect a tumor in the first or second stage. In this regard “Izvestia” – said the surgeon, head of the department of thoracic surgery of Clinical Hospital No. 4 of Sechenov University Taimuraz Kallagov.

“Such a serious disease of course requires active treatment, the participation of both the doctor and the patient, but it is only one of the diseases. We have a really widespread myth that lung cancer is a fatal diagnosis and that once diagnosed, the patient has no chance or chance of cure. But if we detect the disease in the early stages, the patient has a very good chance of a long and healthy life,” the doctor shared.

Kallagov noted that in most cases, lung cancer does not bother the patient at all. Therefore, the tumor is often diagnosed by chance. People at risk should consider getting tested for lung cancer. The probability of developing a tumor increases in those who work with chemicals or other hazardous industries, people over 60, those who have had cancer before, and those who smoke. The doctor emphasized that electronic cigarettes are no less harmful than regular cigarettes.
