Recently, I really have a little sister in Shenzhen
I haven't run a single trip to the hospital for decades
Run a trip, and something will happen!
I haven't had a physical examination in 23 years
A physical examination actually found cancer!
"Isn't it just a high fever, and people are a little uncomfortable?" I'm only 23 years old, how did I get cancer? ”
Ms. Li, 23 years old this year, has never had a physical examination. I didn't expect to do the first examination, but I found cancer!
Things started in September, when Ms. Li returned to her hometown, but the first night she arrived home, she began to have abdominal pain and high fever, and Ms. Li and her family thought it was just a common cold.
However, the next day, such symptoms continued, and the body continued to sweat. As a result, her family immediately took her to the hospital for treatment. At that time the doctor concluded that cholecystitis caused it.
Until one weekend, Ms. Li returned to the community hospital in Shenzhen for a review.
I didn't know, I was shocked when I checked, and the doctor actually told her that the problem was very big!
Frightened, Ms. Li immediately went to shenzhen people's hospital online to hang up. An ultrasound examination of the abdomen found that Ms. Li's gallbladder had the echo of two lumps inside!
Ms. Li came to the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, and the doctor immediately gave her a CT scan of her upper abdomen: "It may be a polyp of cholecystitis, and the possibility of gallbladder cancer cannot be ruled out, and it must be hospitalized immediately!" Further examinations are done. ”
Huge tumors
Almost fill the entire gallbladder!
After a few days of hospitalization, the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery decided that Ms. Li needed immediate surgery to determine what the lump occupying the gallbladder was!
All the preliminary work of the operation was prepared, and on September 18, the Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery Department carried out the operation early in the morning.
After Ms. Li's gallbladder was cut open, the doctors of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery with many years of experience were stunned!
A large lump of polyp tissue, in clusters, occupies almost the entire gallbladder.
"After working in the hospital for so long, it was the first time I had seen such a huge tumor." Dr. Liu Shuwang, who was in charge, said.
So is this thing benign or malignant? In order to determine its nature as soon as possible, the hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon immediately sent it to the pathology department for biopsy.
After a while, the case examination report had reached the doctor's hand, and it turned out that the lump was a high-grade intraepithelial tumor. That is, carcinoma in situ.
Grow silent on the body
But it can evolve into a cancer "king of kings"
Carcinoma in situ is the earliest malignancy that has just formed, usually referring to early stage cancers that are confined to the epithelial layer. In order to avoid patients and family members from being scared half to death when they see the word "cancer", it is now called intraepithelial neoplasia.
In general, recovery is good, and if surgical resection can be carried out in time, it can be cured.
But if you ignore him! Carcinoma in situ will evolve over time into the "king of kings" in cancer – invasive carcinoma, which is what we call gallbladder cancer.
If you accidentally develop gallbladder cancer, it is not a problem that can be solved by just cutting off the tumor!
Surgical resection of gallbladder cancer does not achieve a cure rate of 100%, and often requires postoperative chemoradiation. At the same time, depending on the degree of metastasis and spread of cancer cells, the difficulty of treatment of patients will also be significantly different.
Gallbladder tumors are easy to find: patients with a history of gallbladder polyps, cholecystitis, gallbladder stones, or related family history.
Being young is not cancer-free
Regular check-ups to save your life!
Don't think that young people won't be targeted by cancer!
Many tumors start with polyps. And polyps grow in your body, often not painful or itchy, can not be found at all!
Just like gallbladder polyps, there is no clinical manifestation, and a small number of people will have symptoms such as abdominal discomfort and indigestion. But once the tumor spreads throughout the body, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Can't find polyps? Am I dead?
No!
Polyps can be detected by ultrasound B during physical examination, and after discovery, further treatment is carried out according to the specific situation.
So be sure to check up regularly!!! Timely detection, early treatment!
