Lung Cancer: Early Detection, Timely Treatment

Lung cancer is one of the five most common cancers and the second leading cause of cancer death. Furthermore, its incidence is increasing every year, especially in those with no history of smoking, which is linked to air pollution, including PM 2.5 dust. Most early-stage lung cancers often have no warning signs but only show symptoms when the cancer is advanced.

“Therefore, lung cancer screening is essential, as the chance of a complete cure is as high as 90% if detected in the early stages.”

Low-Dose CT Lung Screening

1. Screening with a Low-Radiation-Dose CT Machine offers the following advantages:

• Detects the disease in its earliest stages, even before symptoms appear. This allows patients to enter the treatment process quickly, significantly increasing the chance of a cure.
• Accurate results because it produces detailed three-dimensional images that are more precise than conventional X-rays, making it possible to see very small lesions or nodules that standard X-rays cannot detect.
• Safe because it uses a low radiation dose compared to a standard CT scan, reducing the risk of high radiation exposure.

2. Blood Test for Lung Cancer Tumor Markers

• **CEA (Carcinoembryonic antigen)** is an antigen normally produced by intestinal and liver cells in the body. CEA levels are often abnormally high in patients with gastrointestinal cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, etc.
• **CYFRA 21-1 (Cytokeratin fragment)** is an important tumor marker that is specific to non-small cell lung cancer. Testing for CYFRA 21-1 and CEA, in combination with a Low-Dose CT scan, has been shown to significantly increase the sensitivity and accuracy of lung cancer screening.

Who is it suitable for?

• Smokers or those in close contact with smokers.
• Individuals in environments with pollution and toxins, such as PM2.5 dust.
• Those with a chronic cough.
• Individuals with chronic lung disease.
• Those with a family history of lung cancer.
• Individuals who have never had a lung screening: Males aged 45+, Females aged 50+.
• Those who want an annual lung screening.

Preparation

• No need to fast (food and water are not restricted).
