Even without smoking and drinking, there is still a chance of contracting cancer! Before confirming a diagnosis of lung cancer, “genetic testing” must be performed. The National Health Insurance provides multiple target drug therapies.

In Taiwan, lung disease now accounts for the highest mortality rate. In addition, because lungs do not feel pain, the condition is typically quite severe by the time the patient experiences discomfort. Moreover, according to statistics, nearly half of patients diagnosed with lung cancer at home are already in Stage 4 at the time of a confirmed diagnosis.

According to the U.S. NCCN Guidelines, if lung cancer patients are severe cases, the first step is to confirm the mutation genotype through genetic testing. In addition, the National Health Insurance provides the general public with a variety of effective tartrate drugs from which to choose!

Despite the fact that lung cancer can be effectively treated and controlled, we hope to be free of the disease. Dr. Zheng, Jing-Yuan from Shin Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital mentioned that (low dose) computed tomography of the lungs is an effective screening tool for reducing lung cancer mortality. A little more than 2% of those in their 30s will develop lung cancer. The likelihood of early-stage lung cancer causing persistent coughing or coughing up blood is relatively low. In addition, if lymph nodes are discovered in high-risk smokers or those with a family history of cancer, early detection will ensure prompt treatment.
