Improper diagnosis of lung cancer

Chemotherapy apart from its advantage of increasing the life span of the patient, who is battling for his or her life with lung cancer, also has a number of side effects that comes along with them. The common side effect of the treatment is normally the loss in weight due to damaging caused by the treatment on the digestive cells, another important side effect that is notable is the loss in hair of the patients. The hair can be of even thinning if the hair and it come cases it has been even to complete baldness. The symptom is limited only to the hair that is on the head of the person, the hair at any part of the person like eyebrow, facial hair can also be affected and the pubic hair are also not left apart. The hair starts to fall after a couple of weeks from the day of treatment and the hair can grow back in a couple of months and even may not grow back in some cases.

It is one of the effective and efficient methods that are used to treat the patients who are affected by carcinoma. And this method of treating the people has been followed by the oncologist ever since the treatment of cancer has been designed. There is always a demerit in every merit that you do and the same phenomenon is also applicable to this treatment. Even if this one of the wider method used around the world the side effects are notable. One of the main side effects of this treatment is that it affects the digestive cells of the human system. The human system has the ability f changing the digestive cells in periodic manner, and chemotherapy can have a major effect on them. Because of this the person who has undergone this treatment often losses appetite and hence starts losing weight. The person also feels pain in his or her mouth and surrounding areas and finds to swallow the foods.

The improper diagnosis of lung cancer serves as a major reason for death of the patient. Therefore the detection parameter or the modalities such be in such a way that their report is hundred percentages satisfactory and true. The model of artificial neural networks is used at recent scenario in order to predict lung cancer. The ANN (Artificial Neural Network) works as a parallel model to biological neural network. They consist of layers where the activation functions and the weight parameters are designed by the oncologists. These parameters vary depending on the physiological conditions of the patients’. The stages or the phase of cancer spread is considered. The properties of neural network are flexible and efficient. They require a particular training algorithm in each case, where back propagation algorithm is generally preferred. Back propagation is quite easy to handle and alter the needed requirements depending on the patients’ health status. Thus ANN serves as a better and a precise modality to detect lung cancer and it helps the oncologists to adopt the better treatment procedure.

Social relationship has a major influence in the patient’s improvement along the treatment procedure. The worst thing in a life is not being diagnosed with a life threatening disease or the treatment procedures, it the loneliness that one could feel after being diagnosed by it and have a fear of being left alone in the world. Friends of the patients have a major role to play in these situations. They can take them to vacation and spend more time with them and make them feel that they have many who are waiting for them and get more moral support before taking any treatment process. Studies shows that moral support given by the family and friends have improved the patients willingness to take the risky curing procedures and thereby giving the patients more chance to survive. Many could argue that help from the friends and family cannot the person affected by lung cancer to survive, the fact maybe true but making your loved ones happy in their in last stage is more than one bargain for.
