UPDATE OF METHODS FOR EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF LUNG CANCER
Main Article Content
Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers and the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Early diagnosis plays a very important role in deciding treatment therapy and prognosis for patients with lung cancer. Many methods have been applied in the early diagnosis of lung cancer, in which thoracic low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), bronchoscopy, and molecular biology methods have proven remarkable effects. Each diagnostic technique has its own role. While bronchoscopy with biopsy is used to diagnose central bronchial lesions, LDCT can be applied to screen for tumors in the peripheral bronchi, which could not be observed by bronchoscopy. In addition, liquid biopsy using malecular biomarkers is a potential measure. The combination of diagnostic measures will help clinicians to diagnose lung cancer early, assign reasonable treatment methods and make accurate prognosises for patients, contributing to improving the effectiveness of lung cancer treatment in clinical practice.
