AstraZeneca (Thailand) together with Chulalongkorn Hospital, Thai Red Cross Society, campaign to provide knowledge and enhance understanding. "Lung Cancer" and suggests innovative cancer gene testing technology will lead to effective, accurate treatment, increasing the efficiency of treating lung cancer in the metastatic stage. For a better quality of life for patients Assistant Professor Dr. Suebphong Thanasarnwimon, Head of the Oncology Unit Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University revealed that “Lung cancer is one of the most common types of cancer both in Thailand and around the world. And is the number 1 cause of death among all cancers. Each year around the world deaths from lung cancer reach as high as 1.8 million people1 According to the National Cancer Institute in 2014, in Thailand, lung cancer is the 2nd most common cause in males and 5th in females. In 2016, more than 13,414 Thai people died from lung cancer per year.
This is considered to be more than the number of deaths from breast cancer. colon cancer and prostate cancer and are likely to continue to increase They found 9,779 new male cancer patients, or 27.4 people per 100,000 population. and in females there were 5,509 people, or 14.2 people per 100,000 population. 2 The cause of lung cancer has not been clearly found at present. But the number 1 most important risk factor is caused by smoking. including exposure to cigarette smoke (secondhand smoke) and air pollution such as mineral Telegram Number Data dust that comes from various mining areas such as asbestos and uranium ore. Or it may be caused by some abnormal genetics. The majority of lung cancers occur in elderly patients, and the incidence of lung cancer increases rapidly with age.” “General symptoms found in lung cancer patients include shortness of breath and wheezing, hoarseness, and chest pain Coughing up bloody sputum Unexplained weight loss or symptoms of being easily tired, weak, etc. Lung cancer is divided into two main types: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, which in the latter group was found Can be found in all lung cancers.
And in this group, there are also many different types, such as squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and others. The disease is divided into 4 stages, including stage 1, the cancer has not yet spread; stage 2, the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. Stage 3: The cancer has spread to nearby organs, including: ribs, diaphragm, and pleura, and in stage 4 the cancer has spread outside the lungs or has spread to other important organs in the body.” “ Generally, cancer treatment is limited to three approaches: surgery in cases where can Then it is continued treatment with radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Or it may be a combination of more than one treatment to stop the growth and spread of cancer cells. Chemotherapy, which is administered intravenously, can have severe side effects. Some patients This is because the drug does not only act on cancer cells. but also acts on normal cells in other parts of the patient's body as well The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and easy infection."
