Chapter 386 Lu Chen's Suggestion

Pulmonary nodules, in simple terms, are something growing in the lungs!
This lung nodule may be caused by many factors such as genetics, acquired environment, and living habits.

If it is a nodule of conscience, then it doesn't matter, I am afraid that the malignant nodule will continue to grow and invade the lung tissue, which is what we often call lung cancer!

When Lu Wenguo saw the CT image in front of him, he couldn't help but think of what Lu Chen said to him, the dry rales on his back!

The size and location of this nodule completely matched what Lu Chen said.

"Is Xiaochen's auscultation so good? Such a small abnormality can be found!"

After Lu Wenguo was slightly shocked, he began to shift his attention to this lung nodule.

In fact, it is very common to have pulmonary nodules!

Many people have pulmonary nodules, but most of them are benign and very small, so it is generally difficult to find them. It only needs regular follow-up CT scans in 3-6 months.

If the size of the pulmonary nodules has not changed, CT scans can even be repeated every 1-2 years.

Thinking of this, Lu Wenguo was still not at ease.

His ability to read pictures is limited, so he can only turn to the hospital's radiologist for help.

After finding the phone number of a radiologist with a good relationship, Lu Wenguo called.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, please help me to look at a CT scan. Yes... I just did it. The hospital number is... The name is Lu Chaoming, a relative of mine."

After the phone call, Lu Wenguo took a few photos of the CT images and sent them to Lu Chen.

As for Lu Chaoming, Lu Wenguo felt that it was better to keep it a secret for the time being before he could figure out the matter.

……

At home, Lu Chen was thinking about having a good rest when he received a WeChat message from Lu Wenguo.

"It should be the CT image of Second Grandpa."

Lu Chen immediately clicked on the original picture.

He saw that lung nodule at a glance!

"There is a problem!" Lu Chen frowned, "There is bronchitis, but the most important thing is the problem of lung nodules!"

Lu Chen briefly estimated the size of the lung nodules.

Good guy, it's not small anymore, it's almost 1cm.

It is less than the size of a fingernail, but in the human body, this size is terrible.

However, Lu Chen's own film reading ability is not very strong, so he sent this CT film to the graduate student of respiratory department he knew in Jinghua Second Hospital.

In the past half a year, Lu Chen met a lot of people in Jinghua Second Hospital, but they were mainly internal medicine majors.

But Lu Chen also understands that it is impossible to diagnose benign and malignant through a chest CT!
Unless the nodules are particularly large and have invaded the surrounding tissue, the diagnosis of the tumor needs to rely on pathological biopsy!

That is, through a puncture needle, enter the lung, take out a part of the lung tissue, and make a pathological section. This is the "gold standard" for diagnosing lung cancer!
Others, such as chest CT, enhanced CT, or genetic monitoring, are only diagnostic aids.

……

After Lu Wenguo and Lu Chen asked their doctor friends, most of the colleagues were inclined towards the diagnosis of nodules of conscience!

This made Lu Wenguo breathe a sigh of relief!

However, Lu Chen did not dare to relax.

If it is really just a benign nodule, then there will be three minus signs on his head?

This is unlikely!
In Lu Chen's heart, he couldn't convince himself that it was a conscience.

Even, through the system's HP reading, he is more inclined to be a vicious one!

……

Lu Chen immediately communicated his thoughts to Lu Wenguo.

"Xiaochen, do you think this is vicious?" Lu Wenguo was very surprised.

"Yeah." Lu Chen nodded, "The size of the nodules and the surrounding area seem to be rough, so it's definitely malignant!"

Lu Wenguo frowned, and he also knew that malignity must not be ruled out.

"Hey, what a shame!"

But he thought about it again, fortunately he discovered it early.

If it is really a tumor, if it is discovered later, the tumor may metastasize, and it will be too late to say anything by then!

The most important thing now is how to tell Lu Chaoming about this...

Lu Wenguo thought about it again and again, and decided to hide the matter a little bit, first tell Lu Chaoming's son, and then let him choose to tell or not to tell.

Then, Lu Wenguo took out his mobile phone and called Lu Chaoming's eldest son, Lu Donghua.

……

Although we are relatives, it is impossible to make decisions on behalf of others.

Lu Wenguo told Lu Donghua his thoughts.

"The possibility of conscience is high, and malignity is not excluded..."

This year's Spring Festival is not so good.

Lu Chen can only be lucky now, he found this "lung nodule" in advance according to the system's prompt.

The next thing depends on how Lu Donghua and Lu Chaoming choose!
Lu Chaoming's eldest son, Lu Donghua, was paying New Year's greetings at a relative's house. He was also taken aback when he heard the news.

Knowing that his father was going for a physical examination today, he thought it was just going through the motions, but he didn't expect that there was something wrong with the examination.

"Donghua, I haven't told your father yet." Lu Wenguo said on the phone.

"Okay, I see. I'll go back and discuss this matter." Lu Donghua hurried home immediately.

Because Lu Wenguo said that the possibility of benignity is high, but there is also the possibility of viciousness!

Lu Wenguo is an old doctor for many years, it is impossible to be aimless, and he will not joke about this kind of thing.

After about half an hour.

Lu Wenguo received another call from Lu Donghua.

"Brother, what's your suggestion?"

Lu Wenguo was a little hesitant, because the doctors in the respiratory department, thoracic surgery department, and imaging department of the county hospital had the same opinion, and they all suggested a review in one to two months.

However, Lu Chen said directly, "Dad, I suggest Second Grandpa go to the hospital in Jiangcheng."

"Is this necessary?" Lu Wenguo hesitated.

"Show the chest CT scans to a more professional doctor." Lu Chen said, "The transportation is convenient now, and Uncle Donghua's house is not short of money, so let's make peace of mind."

"This..." Lu Wenguo said, "Let me talk to your Uncle Donghua."

……

"Xiaochen means to send my dad to Jiangcheng University Hospital?" Hearing what Lu Wenguo said on the phone, Lu Donghua was slightly taken aback.

"Well, this physical examination was also arranged by him." Lu Wenguo said truthfully, "He had a problem with his chest through auscultation, so he specially arranged it."

"It was actually decided by Xiao Chen?" Lu Donghua hesitated for a while, listening to a student's opinion, it seemed...

"Xiaochen said that if he wants to go to the hospital in Jiangcheng, he can introduce an expert in the respiratory department." Lu Wenguo added, "When he was studying in Jiangcheng, he had a meeting with a chief expert in the respiratory department..."

"Okay, let me think about it again." Lu Donghua hung up the phone.

Lu Chen said everything he had to say, and he had a clear conscience about the rest.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Lu Chen left Pingyang and returned to Jinghua.
