Tumors were found during physical examination, what should I do?

Most of the people undergoing physical examinations are healthy people, also known as health examinations. It is unfortunate that cancer is found during physical examinations, but it is also lucky. After all, there are no symptoms when it is discovered, and the disease will not be too late relatively speaking. , it is much better to discover the disease through medical examination when various symptoms appear in the late stage. Active discovery is always earlier than passive discovery. There are more opportunities for surgery, many optional methods, and the treatment will be more effective.

There are many examples of tumors discovered through physical examination. Our hospital has passed annual employee physical examinations. Over the past few years, several cases of early-stage liver cancer have been discovered. After comprehensive treatment such as surgery, intervention, and targeted immunotherapy, all of them are still alive and well. After returning to work, the longest case has exceeded In 10 years, one of the cases reoccurred seven years later. It was also discovered proactively during a physical examination and the patient still underwent surgery. Three more years have passed.

More pulmonary nodules are discovered proactively. Some follow-up reviews, some surgeries, later surgeries plus chemotherapy, and small molecule targeting are all still alive. One of the retired directors, It's been over 10 years.

I have several cases of colon cancer, and they are all still alive and well. One doctor operated on me twice, and there was lymph node metastasis. I actively treated it, and I am currently cancer-free and still active at work.

On the contrary, we often encounter many late-stage patients at work who have liver metastasis, lung metastasis, pleural effusion, and ascites. Centrifuge sediment, cell-embedded sections, and immunohistochemistry can assist clinical practice in finding the primary lesion, conducting genetic molecular testing, and finding mutational treatment targets. Even if the treatment is effective, it is extremely rare to achieve the therapeutic effect of early-stage cancer.

So I call on everyone to pay attention to their own health check-ups. There are too many lessons.
