Ululu wammbuyo ndi khansa yamapapo

Pali zifukwa zingapo zomwe zimayambitsa kupweteka kwa msana zomwe sizigwirizana ndi khansa. Koma ululu wammbuyo umatha kutsagana ndi mitundu ina ya khansa kuphatikiza khansa yam'mapapo.

Malinga ndi Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, pafupifupi 25% ya anthu omwe ali ndi khansa yamapapo amamva kupweteka kwakumbuyo. M'malo mwake, kupweteka kwakumbuyo nthawi zambiri kumakhala chizindikiro choyamba cha khansa yamapapo yomwe anthu amazindikira asanawazindikire.

Kupweteka kumbuyo kwanu kungakhale chizindikiro cha khansa yam'mapapo kapena kufalikira kwa matendawa.

Ululu wammbuyo ukhoza kukhalanso ngati zotsatira zoyipa za chithandizo cha khansa.

Zizindikiro zodziwika za khansa yamapapu

Ngati mukudandaula kuti kupweteka kwanu kumbuyo kungakhale chizindikiro cha khansa ya m'mapapo, ganizirani ngati muli ndi zizindikiro zina za khansa ya m'mapapo monga:

• chifuwa chosachedwa kuipiraipira
• kupweteka pachifuwa kosalekeza
• kutsokomola magazi
• kupuma movutikira
• kupuma
• ukali
• kutopa
• mutu
• chibayo chachikulu kapena bronchitis
• kutupa kwa khosi ndi nkhope
• kusowa chilakolako
• kuonda

Zowopsa za khansa yamapapo

Kuzindikira zomwe zimayambitsa khansa yamapapu kumatha kudziwa ngati kupweteka kwanu kungakhale chisonyezo cha khansa yamapapo. Mwayi wanu wokhala ndi khansa yamapapo umakulirakulira ndi zizolowezi zina ndikuwonetsedwa:

Kodi mumasuta fodya?

Amadziwika kuti kusuta ndudu ndiye chiopsezo chachikulu. Kusuta kumalumikizidwa ndi 80 mpaka 90 peresenti ya khansa yam'mapapu.

Kodi mumapuma utsi wa munthu wina amene amapuma nanu?

Malinga ndi CDC chaka chilichonse utsi wa fodya umabweretsa oposa 7,300 amafa khansa ya m'mapapo ya osasuta ku U.S.

Kodi wakumanapo ndi radon?

US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) yati radon ndiye chinthu chachiwiri chomwe chimayambitsa khansa yamapapo. Zimabweretsa pafupifupi 21,000 za khansa yamapapo chaka chilichonse.

Kodi mwadziwitsidwa za khansa yodziwika bwino?

Kuwonetsedwa pazinthu monga asbestos, arsenic, chromium, ndi utsi wa dizilo kumatha kubweretsa khansa yamapapo.

Nthawi yoti muwone dokotala wanu

Ngati muli ndi zizindikilo zosalekeza, kuphatikizapo kupweteka kwakumbuyo komwe kumakudetsani nkhawa, konzekerani ndi dokotala wanu.

Ngati dokotala akuganiza kuti khansara yamapapo ingakhale chifukwa cha zizindikiro zanu, nthawi zambiri amapeza ngati mukuyesa, kujambula, ndi kuyesa labu.

Ngati apeza khansa yam'mapapo, chithandizocho chimadalira mtundu, gawo, komanso kutalika kwake. Njira zochiritsira ndi izi:

• opaleshoni
• chemotherapy
• mankhwala a radiation
• stereotactic radiotherapy (ma radiosurgery)
• chithandizo chamankhwala
• mankhwala osokoneza bongo

Kuteteza khansa yamapapo kufalikira

Kwa khansa iliyonse, kuzindikira koyambirira ndi matendawa kumathandiza kuti pakhale chithandizo. Khansara yamapapo, komabe, imakhala ndi zizindikilo zochepa zomwe zimazindikirika kumayambiriro.

Khansara yam'mapapo koyambirira imadziwika nthawi zambiri pomwe dokotala akuyang'ana china chake, monga kupangira X-ray pachifuwa kuti athyole nthiti.

Njira imodzi yothandizira khansa yam'mapapo koyambirira ndi kuwunika mwachangu ngati muli pagulu lalikulu loti mutenge matendawa.

Mwachitsanzo, US Preventive Services Task Force ikulimbikitsa kuti anthu azaka zapakati pa 55 ndi 80 omwe ali ndi mbiri yosuta - ali ndi mbiri yakusuta zaka 30 pakadali pano ndipo amasuta kapena asiya zaka 15 zapitazi - awunikidwe pachaka ndi mlingo wochepa wa computed tomography (LDCT).

Zomwe mungachite kuti muchepetse chiopsezo chanu chotenga khansa yamapapo ndi monga:

• osasuta kapena kusiya kusuta
• pewani utsi wa anthu amene mwasuta fodya
• yesani nyumba yanu ya radon (nthawi yomweyo ngati radon ipezeka)
• pewani ma carcinogen kuntchito (valani chovala kumaso kuti muteteze)
• idyani chakudya choyenera chomwe chimakhala ndi zipatso ndi ndiwo zamasamba
• kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi nthawi zonse

Tengera kwina

Pangani msonkhano ndi dokotala wanu ngati muli ndi ululu wammbuyo womwe umawoneka ngati ululu wokhudzana ndi khansa yamapapo. Kuzindikira koyambirira kwa khansa yamapapo kumakuthandizani kuti mupezenso bwino.
