66-year-old Lao Li three years ago, cough, chest pain symptoms, to do a CT examination at a local hospital, the doctor found his right lung has a shadow of about 2 cm, diagnosed as pneumonia .After Lao Li has hernia and coronary heart disease Admitted to hospital, done many CT examination, each time only get the diagnosis of 'pneumonia' After repeated treatment, his 'pneumonia' still not improved, but also continued to increase, and finally came to the Southern Medical University Hospital of Integrative Medicine. Lung lesions biopsy confirmed that Lao Lee is 'right upper lobe infiltration of adenocarcinoma', the lesion has increased from 2 cm 3 years ago to 4 cm, fortunately no metastasis spread of cancer cells found. After diagnosis, experts The team conducted minimally invasive surgery for Lao Li, and he was able to get out of bed after the surgery. The pneumonia that plagued him for three years finally disappeared.
Southern Medical University Hospital of Integrated Traditional and Western Tumor Surgery, deputy chief physician Wang Yu Bing introduction, under normal circumstances patients due to pulmonary disease treatment, due to pneumonia, tuberculosis and lung cancer will appear cough, cough blood Phlegm, fever, pleural effusion, chest tightness, chest pain And other symptoms of these diseases look very similar from the chest X-ray or chest CT, so some patients with atypical lung cancer can easily be misdiagnosed as pneumonia or pulmonary tuberculosis.If the patient found the shadow of the lung examination, should pay attention to And doctors to exchange their past medical history and examination of the situation.If the elderly patients with smoking, the above symptoms, or repeated episodes of intractable pulmonary infection, should be highly alert to the possibility of lung cancer.Seven pneumonia or pulmonary tuberculosis, after formal anti-inflammatory or anti-痨 treatment, review the shadow no signs of shrinking, should also consider the possibility of lung cancer, early diagnosis and treatment of thoracic surgery.
In addition to examining the lungs, high-risk groups of lung cancer can also be tested for tumor markers and other parts of the body should be routinely checked.This is because some primary lung cancer patients with small primary lesions, but soon there will be significant distant metastasis, Such as the liver, brain, bone and adrenal metastasis, etc. High-risk groups of lung cancer have six characteristics: over 50 years old; long-term smoking or inhaling secondhand smoke; long-term kitchen cooking; long engaged in drilling, coal mining, oil recovery, gas, chemical And other work; a family history of malignant tumors; suffering from chronic lung disease, such as COPD, pulmonary fibrosis and so on.
Wang Yu ice reminded to reduce the risk of lung cancer is the key to 'three prevention' measures. A prevention: control of lung cancer risk factors, such as smoking, secondhand smoke, kitchen fumes, air pollution, decoration pollution; secondary prevention: early detection , Early diagnosis and early treatment, such as early detection of lung cancer, combined surgery and postoperative treatment, 5-year survival rate of early lung cancer up to 90%, less than 20% of late .Three-stage prevention: medical treatment, standardized treatment , To prevent disability and promote functional recovery, improve the quality of life and prolong life expectancy.Please advise patients to the diagnosis and treatment of a large general high-level hospital.
