[Reporter Zheng Shuting/Taoyuan Report] According to the statistics of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, lung cancer ranks first in the cancer death rate among Chinese people. In Taoyuan City, 711 people will die of lung cancer in 2021. In order to enable early detection and early treatment, the Taoshi government first launched the expansion of lung cancer screening The screening plan provides free low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screening for four categories of citizens starting from March 1, and an estimated 25,000 people will benefit.

City councilor Shu Cuiling said at the launch press conference that at the end of 2019, a councilor subsidized 15,000 yuan for health checkups, so she went to the hospital for LDCT screening and other examinations. Unexpectedly, she found something more than 1 cm in the shape of ground glass in her lungs. It may be benign or malignant. Because the location is next to the diaphragm, the doctor suggested to remove it directly. At that time, she was hospitalized for the operation for about a week and was discharged. No voters knew that she had just completed the operation. She thought that health checks were very important. If something grows in the body, the only thing is early detection and early treatment. I am sure Taoshi government will promote and expand the lung cancer screening program.
