Chest Clinic

   When the topic of respiratory disorders is brought up, many people mistakenly view them as being common health conditions that do not place the sufferer in any danger whatsoever. However, it is this mistaken belief that can ultimately result in patients with respiratory disorders being put in danger. Lung and respiratory conditions can affect anyone of any age, making them a health issue that we should all be paying close attention to.

   Information gathered by the World Health Organization (WHO) found that lung cancer was the leading cause of death worldwide in 2012, with males more likely to develop the disease than their female counterparts. The age at which this disease affects people seems to be getting lower all the time and lung cancer has now been found to affect some people while still their twenties. Lung cancer is often symptomless during its initial stages, meaning that by the time it is detected, it has often spread to other organs, with patients only seeking medical treatment once severe symptoms begin to present themselves, such as a chronic cough, excessive phlegm production, chest pains, a loss of appetite and sudden weight loss. By this point, treatment becomes extremely difficult and the risk of the disease being fatal is significantly increased.

   Detecting lung cancer during its early stages is therefore crucial as not only will this reduce the rates of fatalities resulting from the disease, but it can also significantly lower the suffering caused by this deadly disease and increase the likelihood of successful treatment.
