The disease is easier to prevent than to cure, writes Med2.
Lung cancer - one of the most intractable cancers. However, doctors are confident that the chance to prevent it is very high. To avoid becoming a victim of this dangerous disease, physicians are encouraged to follow three simple rules.
1. To give up smoking
You need to quit. Smoking - a risk factor number one for the development of lung cancer. The good news is that the damaged tissue respiratory system has the ability to recover, so if you stop smoking before the disease started to develop, it is likely not to get sick by it at all. At the same time, doctors warn that second-hand smoke also carries a health hazard.
2. Physical activity
Regular exercise also reduces the risk of lung cancer. According to estimates of physicians, people involved in physical activity, 20% less likely to fall ill with this dangerous disease.
3. Fresh air
Moreover, experts are warning that the development of lung disease affects a bad air. If the dwelling is accumulated "invisible killer" radon, which happens quite often - an inert, colorless and odorless gas - he begins to act as a carcinogen.
Doctors recommend to measure the radon in the living room level, to protect themselves from unexpected risk factor for lung cancer.
For example, in public buildings, which shall be after construction, repair or reconstruction of the index EEVA (equivalent to an equilibrium volume activity) of radon should not exceed 100 Bq / m³, and exploited in buildings - 200 Bq / m³.
