How to check for lung cancer risk in 3 seconds with your finger
There is a high probability that the right side is a cancer patient.
Lung cancer is the third most common cancer in our country.
Although it is the disease with the highest mortality rate, it has no special symptoms in the early stages, making early detection difficult.
75% of lung cancer patients experience frequent coughing, but it is difficult to recognize because the symptoms are similar to a cold.
As a result, many cases of stage 4 cancer are discovered when about half of the patients have metastasis to other organs.
There is a simple way to check the possibility of lung cancer, which is difficult to diagnose early, using just your fingers.
This is the 'Fingertip Clubbing' test announced by the UK Cancer Research Institute.
If you are a healthy person, bend both index fingers so that the fingernails touch each other, forming a 'diamond' shape between the nails.
However, in the case of lung cancer patients, no gap forms even when the index fingernail is pressed against it.
This is called 'finger clubbing,' a phenomenon that occurs when the fingers become swollen and blunt, taking on a club-like shape.
According to the UK Cancer Research Institute
It has been found that 35% of non-small cell lung cancer patients, accounting for 87% of all lung cancer patients, exhibit this symptom.
Additionally, in cases of conditions such as heart disease, thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease, besides lung cancer.
It is known that these characteristics can appear on the fingers.
The exact reason for the occurrence of finger clubbing has not been identified.
However, experts speculate that the tumor in the lung is producing hormones that cause fluid to accumulate in the fingers.
The UK Cancer Research Institute states that "the finger-clubbing phenomenon is not commonly observed."
He advised to consult a doctor if you think this phenomenon exists.

The diamond didn't come out, damn it.
