Globally, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide for both men and women. In 2020, there were 2.5 million new lung cancer cases globally and 1.80 million deaths. In the United States of America, the 2021 guideline for lung cancer screening from the American College of Chest Physicians, recommend that anyone who is a current to***co user or has a history of smoking and are 50 years or older, may be a candidate for a screening low-dose CT scan. This is a step that can potentially detect lung cancer in its earliest stages.

Lung cancer symptoms can include a cough that does not go away, chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing up blood, unexplained weight loss, and lung infections that keep coming back. Tests that may be used to diagnose lung cancer include physical examination, imaging (chest x-rays, CT scans, and MRI), bronchoscopy, or biopsy. https://goldcopd.org

World Mental Health Day💥

🫂We looked at statistics and research about patient mental health. But what about their family and loved ones?

🫂Caregivers providing care to chronically ill family members at home are potentially at risk for caregiver burden and declining physical and psychological health. The study revealed the important influence of mental health on caregivers’ physical health. Intervention programs for caregivers need to target health in a holistic way. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167494309000892

🫂Our analyses revealed that for women, caring for a spouse or children was more stressful and detrimental to mental health than caring for parents or others. Similarly, for men, caring for a spouse and for children was more stressful than caring for others but did not adversely affect overall mental health. The findings suggest that spousal and child caregiving tend to be more rather than less stressful and detrimental to middle-aged and older caregivers’ mental health than is caregiving to most others but that gender differences need to be considered. https://academic.oup.com/gerontologist/article-abstract/56/6/1102/2952858
