After the uterine cancer was surgically removed, a 6mm lung nodule was found, and what should I do?

This is a question asked to me by an enthusiastic netizen, and it is not uncommon in my many years of medical career. For such a situation, I summarized three possible reasons for this netizen.

First, cancer metastasis is a possible cause. If the cancer cells of endometrial cancer metastasize and invade the lung tissues, lung nodules may form. In this case, the patient may have signs of lung nodules after resection of endometrial cancer when undergoing imaging tests. At this point, the patient needs to undergo surgical excision again under the guidance of a doctor**.

Secondly, lung infections can also be one of the causes of lung nodules. After endometrial cancer resection, if patients do not pay attention to maintenance, it may cause inflammation and infection of the lungs. Inflammatory stimuli can lead to the proliferation of lung tissue, which in turn can lead to the formation of lung nodules.

Finally, the patient's physical factors are also a reason that cannot be ignored. In clinical practice, many friends with nodules have long-term emotional instability, high work pressure, irregular work and rest, anxiety and thoughts, and these emotional internal injuries lead to problems such as liver stagnation, qi stagnation, viscera disharmony, and phlegm turbidity and endogenous, which eventually lead to qi depression and phlegm turbidity and stasis into knots, causing the growth of various nodules. In view of this situation, in addition to focusing on the root cause of the disease, we should also take into account the patient's viscera qi and blood, improve the mental factors of mood, comprehensively regulate the body, and treat both the symptoms and the root causes, so as to achieve better results.
