Lung nodules, thyroid nodules, breast nodules, which type of cancer is more likely?
First, pulmonary nodules
The invasion rate of lung nodules on the chest is as high as 80-90%, which is a unique feature of lung cancer patients. In other words, pulmonary nodules are one of the causes of lung cancer.
0 1 nodules over 5cm
Observing the size of lung nodules can determine whether cancer will occur, and the probability of cancer in large lung nodules is definitely higher than that in small lung nodules.
Especially when pulmonary nodules are found to be larger than 5cm, we should be more vigilant and have a higher probability of malignant transformation.
Nodules with rough surface
Through CT examination, if you find that the surface of your pulmonary nodules is not smooth, uneven and very rough, the probability of malignant transformation of such nodules will be greater. For example, in clinic, the appearance of lung adenocarcinoma is often composed of these tiny nodules.
Illegitimate nodule
In our life, if we find that the boundary of pulmonary nodules in our body is unclear and there are ground-glass nodules, these nodules are prone to malignant transformation. Clinically, it is easy to form lung squamous cell carcinoma.
Especially in men, this kind of lung squamous cell carcinoma is more likely to occur, and then it is easy to cause lung cancer.
Rapidly growing nodule
In life, observing the size and growth rate of pulmonary nodules can also help you prevent diseases better.
If the lung nodule you detected before is only 2cm, it will become 4cm in a few months. This growth rate is undoubtedly amazing, and it may also indicate that lung nodules are more likely to become cancerous.
Second, thyroid nodules
Generally, 5- 15% of thyroid nodules will turn into thyroid cancer, and other nodules may be cysts, inflammation, degeneration and benign tumors.
If you have the following characteristics, the probability of malignant tumor is high:
1. Very low echo
2. Vertical bit growth (aspect ratio >; 1)
3. Irregular edges
4. Microcalcification
Grading of thyroid nodules:
Grade 0: diffuse thyroid lesions, which may be related to some autoimmune diseases, such as thyroiditis, but not nodules;
1 grade: normal thyroid.
Grade 2: Nodules can be seen on the thyroid gland, mostly benign.
Grade 3: it may be 85% to 95%, all of which are benign, but there are also atypical within 5%.
Level 4: divided into three layers, 4A, 4B and 4C, suspicious.
Malignant.
Grade 5: More than four signs, more than 85% of which are malignant, requiring timely surgical intervention.
Grade 6: after thyroid puncture, it was proved to be malignant by pathology and must be treated by surgery.
Third, breast nodules
According to the benign and malignant breast nodules, there is an ultrasound report classification, and everyone can judge the benign and malignant breast nodules by themselves according to this classification.
The score of 1-6 given by most reports represents the degree of malignancy, and the higher the score, the higher the degree of malignancy of the tumor.
0: Incomplete evaluation and low reference value.
1 -2: It means that the tumor is almost impossible to be malignant.
3 points: there is a malignant probability of about 2%, which requires half a year's reexamination or long-term breast imaging observation.
More than 4 points: it is necessary to seek medical attention in time for early intervention.
Danger signal:
In addition, if the nodule causes breast swelling pain, discharge, nipple depression and other symptoms. It is also necessary to see a doctor in time.
Treatment of pulmonary nodules with traditional Chinese medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the coordination of viscera and regulates the whole body. The causes of nodules are qi stagnation and blood stasis, phlegm coagulation, lung controlling qi, liver controlling blood and spleen deficiency producing phlegm. These organs need conditioning, changing the internal environment, so that the body no longer has the conditions for long nodules.
Real cases 1: thyroid nodules and breast nodules.
Real Case 2: Patients with Pulmonary Nodules
Real Case 2: Lung Cancer Patients
Written at the end: I have said in many videos and articles that Chinese medicine is recommended for the treatment of pulmonary nodules, thyroid nodules and breast nodules. The reason for this is the following：
Western medicine surgery directly removes the focus, the effect is the most direct and effective, but the operation is very traumatic to the body. Second, there is the possibility of recurrence after resection. As a body organ, it cannot be surgically removed all the time.
Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the whole body conditioning and the harmony of viscera. There are many reasons leading to nodules, such as qi stagnation and blood stasis, phlegm dampness, lung controlling qi, liver controlling blood, spleen deficiency and phlegm production. Only when these organs are coordinated can we fundamentally improve physical fitness, change the internal environment of the body and prevent the repeated growth of nodules.
