This day is an opportunity to raise awareness about different types of cancer, including lung cancer, one of the deadliest worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While anyone can develop lung cancer, the risk increases significantly in smokers and those with prolonged exposure to toxic substances. According to the&nbsp;<strong>American Cancer Society<\/strong>, Lung cancer accounts for almost 251% of all cancer deaths, making it a public health priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms of Lung Cancer: When to Be Alert?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people who suspect they have lung cancer often search for terms like:&nbsp;<em>\u201csymptoms of lung cancer,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<em>\u201cWarning signs of lung cancer,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;o&nbsp;<em>\u201cHow to detect lung cancer in its early stages.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;This is because the symptoms may be subtle at first, but as the disease progresses, they become more evident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the main ones&nbsp;<strong>symptoms of lung cancer<\/strong>&nbsp;They are found:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Persistent cough that does not improve or worsens over time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chest pain when coughing, laughing, or breathing deeply.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, or wheezing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unexplained weight loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extreme fatigue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coughing up blood or sputum with traces of blood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These warning signs should be taken seriously. If you have any of these symptoms and are wondering what might be wrong, consult a doctor.&nbsp;<em>\u201cwhen to see a doctor if you suspect you have lung cancer,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;The answer is simple: the sooner the better. Consulting a specialist is crucial for a timely and effective diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should you go to the Emergency Room?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you experience severe symptoms such as extreme difficulty breathing, chest pain that doesn&#039;t go away, or coughing up blood, don&#039;t hesitate to go to the emergency room.&nbsp;<strong>National Cancer Institute<\/strong>&nbsp;It recommends that any sudden change in your lung health be treated as a medical emergency. It&#039;s not unusual for people to search online for phrases like&nbsp;<em>\u201cWhen to go to the emergency room for difficulty breathing\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;o&nbsp;<em>\u201cLung cancer symptoms in the emergency room.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Importance of Genetic and Preventive Testing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">World Cancer Day also highlights the crucial role of preventive and genetic cancer testing. Tests such as&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zogen.local\/nuestras-pruebas\/estudios-oncologicos\/pruebas-invitae\/\">Invitae<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;Genetic cancer screening tests are powerful tools for identifying genetic risks. These tests help determine if you have genetic mutations that may predispose you to lung cancer or other types of cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For people who have already received a cancer diagnosis, tests such as&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zogen.local\/nuestras-pruebas\/estudios-oncologicos\/\">Tempus<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;They allow for a more detailed genetic analysis of the tumor, which helps doctors design more effective, personalized treatments. This kind of precision is key in the fight against cancer, especially when each mutation and case is unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">World Lung Cancer Day: Act Today for a Healthy Future<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">November 17th, World Cancer Day, is a day to remember that early detection saves lives. Don&#039;t ignore symptoms or warning signs, and consider genetic testing as a way to stay ahead of the curve. At Zogen, we offer options like Invitae and Tempus, designed to protect you and your loved ones. The fight against cancer begins with education, prevention, and early diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>American Cancer Society (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.org\/\">https:\/\/www.cancer.org<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>National Cancer Institute (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/\">https:\/\/www.cancer.gov<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El\u00a0D\u00eda Mundial de la Lucha contra el C\u00e1ncer de pulm\u00f3n, que se conmemora el 17 de noviembre, nos recuerda la importancia de la prevenci\u00f3n, la detecci\u00f3n temprana y la informaci\u00f3n en la lucha contra esta enfermedad.
