On the 6th, the topic of a 29-year-old girl diagnosed with lung cancer asymptomatic rushed to the hot search.
Xiao Chen (pseudonym), 29, works as an office clerk for a company in Linping, Hangzhou, and usually works from 9 to 5, and likes to meet a few friends to go outdoors in his spare time, camping, hiking and cycling. What is surprising is that such a young woman with a sunny attitude and optimism was suddenly told that she had cancer half a month ago.
Some time ago, Xiao Chen had a frequent cough and came to the thoracic surgery clinic of Linping District Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. Here, she had her first chest CT done, and the results surprised her: she had a lung nodule of nearly 5 centimeters in the upper lobe of her right lung.
Combined with the chest CT examination, the attending doctor Wu Yilei immediately realized that there was an abnormality: this nodule was probably not a simple "pulmonary nodule", but a malignant tumor of the lungs. Because Xiao Chen's nodule was already so big as soon as it was discovered, and there were almost no symptoms, considering the danger of his condition, Wu Yilei decided to perform thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy for Xiao Chen as soon as possible.
If you have both types of lung nodules on your body.
Pay enough attention.
Surgical excision if necessary.
Postoperative pathology confirmed that Xiao Chen had a malignant tumor in the lungs, but due to the timely operation, there was no metastasis of other organs, and there was no need for radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery. Many people will find lung nodules during physical examination, and generally speaking, 80% to 90% of lung nodules found in the initial CT examination are benign lesions. However, if there are two types of lung nodules on the body, it is best to pay enough attention to it, follow up regularly, and remove it surgically if necessary.
In the first case, depending on the size and morphology of the nodule, if the size of the nodule is more than 8 mm, the nodule boundary is unclear, lobulated, the edge is burr, and there are vacuoles and blood vessels in the nodule, it needs to be rechecked regularly. If the nodule is enlarged or has an increased solid component during the follow-up, it is best to help identify or surgically remove the nodule through relevant diagnosis and treatment, and such nodules may become lung cancer over time.
In the second case, the nodule is small but tends to increase over time, and the risk of cancer should be alerted and surgical removal should be required if necessary.
