The seventies of the old human body detection found the nodules, and the nodules became larger in just one year. What surprised the doctor was that these five nodules were actually three types of lung cancer. Fortunately, it was discovered early. Experts from Hanyang Hospital of Hubei Provincial People's Hospital were removed through minimally invasive surgery and preserved the lung function for patients. At present, the elderly have recovered.

5 nodules in the lungs belong to different lung cancer

The 71 -year -old mother -in -law (Hua surname) lived in Caidian. During the medical examination a year ago, it was unexpectedly found that there were multiple nodules in the right lung, and the largest diameter was 1 cm. At that time, the doctor suggested that she observe closely and review at least once a year. Last week, Mother -in -law went to the hospital to review again. The lung CT prompts that the nodules of the right upper lung grew up. The largest of the 5 nodules is 1.7 cm and the smallest is 8 mm. Professor Wu Zhongquan, Department of Deep Surgery, Hanyang Hospital, Hubei Provincial People's Hospital, said that these nodules grew up quickly in a short period of time, and the form also appeared in mixed glass. It is very big, it is recommended to surgery as soon as possible.

Fortunately, these 5 nodules are all on the right lung leaf. In order to maintain the lung function of Mother -in -law Jin and improve the quality of life after surgery, Professor Wu Zhongquan led the team to accurately locate each nodule in advance to predict the nodules and nerves, and nerves, and nerves. The position of blood vessels and bronchials is carefully designed and removed.

On September 1st, Professor Wu Zhongquan's masterpiece was used to remove some upper right lung leaves for the elderly. The next day, Mother -in -law got out of bed.

The pathological examination results show that the five nodules of the elderly are lung cancer, but it is rare that they are different stages of lung cancer, one of which is the infiltrated lung adenocarcinoma, two are micro -infiltrated cancer, and the other two are the original original. Fortunately, lymphatic metastasis has not yet appeared. Wu Zhongquan lamented that in the past 30 years, this situation has been encountered for the first time. He speculated that this situation is mostly related to genetic mutations. Secondly, second -hand cigarettes are also the high -risk factor of "helping the flames". Fortunately, the elderly discovered early and underwent minimally invasive surgery. There was no chemotherapy after surgery, and regular review was sufficient.

90%of the lung nodes are benign

When many citizens checked the CT in their body, they found that there were lung nodules, and they were worried that they had lung cancer. Wu Zhongquan said that in fact, 80%to 90%of the lung nodules are benign, such as lymph nodes, fibrous hyperplasia, inflammatory pseudo tumors, etc. This type of lesions grow very slowly and has little impact on the human body. It is recommended to observe regularly; In addition, a small part of nodules belong to pre -cancer lesions or lung cancer.

"Generally speaking, citizens need to pay attention to the nodules with a diameter of more than 8 mm. Once a malignant signs occur, it is necessary to remove it in time." Wu Zhongquan said that he should pay special attention to the "grinding glass shadow" in the report. From the perspective of CT The shadow with a slightly high -density of clouds is like a frosted glass covering the lungs. According to statistics, this type of grinding glass nodules have not changed or disappear, or even become bigger after observation, which may be the signs of early lung cancer.

Wu Zhongquan reminded that lung cancer is very hidden. If clinical symptoms occur, more than 70%are local advanced or advanced lung cancer. The best treatment time is lost. It is recommended that citizens pay attention to screening. At present, physical examinations and low -dose high -resolution thin -layer CTs are the only effective ways found in the early days. After the age of 45, citizens are advised to check once a year. In addition, more than 90%of patients have a history of long -term smoking or passive smoking. He suggested that citizens over 40 years of age, especially those who have smoking, family history, have a history of asbestos or radiation occupations, and have worked in a closed environment for a long time. It is best to do low -dose CT per year for early screening.
