Umhlaza wamaphaphu ongekho mncinci

Umhlaza wenzeka xa iiseli ezingaqhelekanga zanda ngokukhawuleza kwaye zingayeki ukuzala kwakhona. Esi sifo sinokukhula naphi na emzimbeni. Unyango lusekwe kwindawo ekuyo. Xa ivela kwimiphunga, ibizwa ngokuba ngumhlaza wemiphunga. Zimbini iintlobo eziphambili zomhlaza wemiphunga: umhlaza omncinci wesifo somhlaza (i-SCLC) kunye nesifo somhlaza esincinci esincinci (NSCLC).

I-NSCLC lolona hlobo luqhelekileyo lomhlaza wemiphunga, kubandakanya iipesenti ezingama-80 ukuya kuma-85 zepesenti yomhlaza wemiphunga. Ayikhuli ngokukhawuleza njengomhlaza omncinci weseli yemiphunga.

Zintathu iintlobo eziphambili ze-NSCLC:

• adenocarcinomas
• iiseli zomhlaza zeskramous
• i-carcinoma enkulu yeseli

Iimpawu zeNSCLC

Kumanqanaba ayo okuqala, i-NSCLC ihlala ingabangeli zimpawu. Xa iimpawu ziqala ukukhula, zinokubandakanya:

• ukukhohlela okungapheliyo
• ukudinwa
• iintlungu zesifuba
• ukunciphisa umzimba ngokungacwangciswanga nangokungaqondakaliyo
• iingxaki zokuphefumla
• iintlungu ezidibeneyo okanye zethambo
• ubuthathaka
• ukhohlela igazi

Yintoni ebangela i-NSCLC?

Zininzi izinto ezinokunyusa umngcipheko wokuba nomhlaza wemiphunga. Ukutshaya imidiza okanye ukubhencwa kukutshaya ngoyena mngcipheko uphambili kwesi sifo. Ukuvezwa kwe-asbestos kunye neepeyinti ezithile okanye imichiza kunokwandisa umngcipheko.

Ngelixa ungekhe ukwazi ukuyithintela ngokupheleleyo i-NSCLC, kukho amanyathelo onokuwathatha ukunciphisa umngcipheko wokuba nesi sifo. Ukuba uyatshaya imidiza, yeka. Thetha nogqirha wakho malunga nezixhobo ezinokukunceda uyeke ukutshaya nangawo nawaphi na amaqela enkxaso akhoyo. Gwema okanye unciphise ukubonakaliswa kwakho kwi-radon yeekhemikhali, njengoko kwandisa umngcipheko wesifo. Indlu yakho ivavanyelwe i-radon kwaye inyangwe, ukuba kukho imfuneko.

Ichongwa njani iNSCLC?

Kunye novavanyo lomzimba kunye nembali yezonyango, iimvavanyo ezahlukeneyo zinokunceda ugqirha wakho ukuba afumane umhlaza wemiphunga. Uvavanyo ugqirha wakho unokuyalela kubandakanya:

• Ukuskena amathambo
• iimvavanyo zokucinga njengeMRI, CT scan, kunye nePET scan esifubeni
• Uvavanyo oluncinci lwesikhohlela (phlegm) ukujonga iiseli zomhlaza
• i-biopsy yemiphunga (isiqwenga semisipha yemiphunga sisuswa kuvavanyo)

Nje ukuba ukufunyanwa komhlaza kuqinisekisiwe, umhlaza uya kubekwa kwinqanaba. Inqanaba yindlela oogqirha bawuhlela ngayo umhlaza ngokwasasazeka kwawo emzimbeni. I-NSCLC inezigaba ezintlanu, ukusuka kwinqanaba 0 ukuya kwinqanaba 4, ngokokuqina kobukrakra.

Umbono kunye nonyango lusekwe kwinqanaba. Umhlaza wesigaba sesine awunyangeki, ke unyango luhlala lujolise ekunciphiseni iimpawu.

Unyango lwe-NSCLC

Unyango lwe-NSCLC lunokwahluka, ngokusekwe kwinqanaba lesifo, impilo yakho, kunye nezinye izinto. Thetha nogqirha wakho malunga nolona khetho lonyango olufanelekileyo kuwe kunye neziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ezinokubakho. Iindlela ezahlukeneyo zonyango zinokudityaniswa ukuze kunikwe ezona ziphumo zibalaseleyo.

Amanqanaba okuqala e-NSCLC anokunyangwa ngoqhaqho. Ukususwa kwe-lobe okanye indawo enkulu yemiphunga kunokuba yimfuneko, kwaye kwezinye iimeko ukususwa komphunga wonke.

I-Chemotherapy isebenzisa amayeza ukunceda ukubulala iiseli zomhlaza. Ithathwe ngomlomo okanye inikezwe ngaphakathi (ngokusebenzisa umthambo). Oku kuvumela amachiza ukuba ahambe ngendlela yegazi kwaye abulale iiseli zomhlaza kuwo wonke umzimba.

Imitha ekhupha imitha ephezulu kumandla ukubulala iiseli zomhlaza kunye nokunciphisa iintlungu kunye nezinye iimpawu.

Unyango ekujoliswe kulo ngamachiza ajolise kwimiba ethile yeseli yomhlaza, njengezinto zokukhula okanye imithambo yegazi eyondla ithumba. Zisoloko zisetyenziswa ngomhlaza oqhubele phambili kwaye zisenokungafanelanga wonke umntu.

Imbonakalo ye-NSCLC

Imbonakalo yakho ixhomekeke kwizinto ezahlukeneyo. Abanye abantu abafunyaniswe ukuba bane-NSCLC baphathwa ngempumelelo kwaye baqhubeka nokuphila ubomi obuqhelekileyo. Ukufumanisa kwangoko kunye nonyango yenye yeendlela zokufumana kwakhona kwi-NSCLC.
