Benign lung cancer
It would seem that the name is good, you might think that this is good. But there is little good, the fact is that a benign tumor does not destroy tissues and does not give metastases, like malignant ones, but it does not add optimism.
Benign lung cancer develops from the walls of the bronchi or is localized in the upper sections of the lungs.
Groups of lung tumors
By histological diagnostic methods, benign lung tumors are divided into groups by specialists:
- Papilloma or adenoma. The origin of such neoplasms is epithelial;
- Neurofibroma or neurinoma;
- Fibroma, lymphantioma, chondroma, myoma. Such tumors are of mesodermal origin;
- Chorioepithelioma and teratoma - dysembryogenetic neoplasms;
- Histiocytoma and hematoma.
Whatever the name of all these types of benign lung cancer, but it must be detected in time and measures taken for treatment at an early stage.
Disease symptoms
Cancer tumors are characterized by insidiousness. They disguise themselves as seemingly harmless diseases such as colds or whooping cough.
But if you pay close attention to your health, especially the elderly, then if you have some signs of cancer, you should pay a visit to the oncologist. These signs include:
- Weakness in the limbs;
- Unreasonable frequent coughing;
- Shortness of breath;
- Anhidrosis.
A harsh cough with phlegm should be especially alert.
