Wuhan Evening News July 26 (Reporter Wuye Correspondent Zhang Quanzu) The old man found that the lungs were unknown. When he heard that he had to "move the knife" for surgery, Grandma Wei was very resistant and turned to Wuhan Lung Hospital for help. This time, the doctor did not "move the knife", but instead "moved the needle", using radio frequency ablation technology to instantly turn the dangerous nodules into intangible. Yesterday was one week after the operation, and the patient review showed that all indicators returned to normal.

Grandma Wei, 76, is a retired teacher who is healthy on weekdays. However, during the physical examination last month, he found that there was a peanut -sized grinding glass nodule with the upper left lung. Through CT images, doctors judge that the possibility of nodule malignant tumors is very high, and surgery needs to be performed as soon as possible to eliminate the lesion, so as to suffer from the trouble.

In a large -scale hospital in Wuchang, experts carefully evaluated Grandma Wei's physical condition, thinking that she had hypertension and coronary heart disease. The coronary arteries were narrowed 80%. There was a risk of surgery, but there was still a chance.

Knowing that the doctor wanted to "move the knife", Grandma Wei suddenly fell into anxiety. If surgery, she is worried that her heart will not be able to bear it; if she does not surgery, she is worried that the dangerous nodule has missed the best treatment; Grandma Wei had no idea for a while, and had to be discharged first.

Last week, Grandma Wei came to Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital, hoping to use methods other than surgery to eliminate dangerous nodules. Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital Pulmonary Nodule Health Management Studio is the first lung nodule health management studio in the province. Experts conducted a multi -disciplinary consultation on Grandma Wei that there are still other treatment plans to choose from except for surgery, such as using radio frequency ablation technology.

Radio frequency ablation means that under the guidance of CT, after being punctured by the electrode needle to the lesion of the lungs, the cells at the lesion are dehydrated, the cellular protein degenerates, the cell solidification, necrosis, and the dangerous nodules with the hot needle. Yesterday, after a week of radio frequency ablation, Grandma Wei ’s various examinations showed that the lesions of the lungs were fully melted. In the future, she only needs to review regularly.

Li Ming, director of the third ward of the respiratory, introduced that radio frequency ablation therapy technology was first used for arrhythmia and liver tumor. At that time, there was a certain difficulty in the treatment of lung radio frequency ablation, because the lung lesion continued to move with the respiration of the person, and the lungs were like a airbag. In the process of ablation, "piercing the air leakage", that is, "pneumothorax" Case. In the past ten years, with the advancement of medical equipment and technology, this restricted area has been broken.

Thermal melt techniques such as radio frequency melody and microwave ablation have small trauma, accurate effects, fewer complications, fast recovery, low cost, and have little long -term effects on lung function. Patients can tolerate multi -frequency treatment and other advantages, especially applicable to applicable to Multi -frequency treatment of primary tumors and multiple nodules in the lungs. At present, thermal disorder treatment technology has been together with surgery and radiotherapy, which has become the "three sets of cars" that currently cure early lung cancer. Especially for the treatment of early lung cancer, the curative effect is not inferior to surgery.
