What is mediastinal lung cancer? There are many types of lung cancer, and the harm is also relatively large. So if timely diagnosis and treatment are not found in time, it will seriously threaten the life safety of patients. The incidence of lung cancer and the increase in mortality in all malignant tumors The faster one, so everyone must be vigilant and do daily preventive work, then, do you know what is mediastinal lung cancer?

　　Mediastinal lung cancer is a special type of lung cancer, it is just a type on the chest X-ray image, which The characteristic is that such lesions appear as mediastinal tumors on the chest X-ray image, and the real lesions originate in the lungs. There are three types of mediastinal lung cancer.

　　①Peripheral lung cancer that occurs next to the mediastinum, the inner edge of which is close to the mediastinum, and adheres to the mediastinum pleura, the outer edge of the tumor can be very smooth, this type of lung cancer is extremely difficult to distinguish from mediastinal tumors , Need to help the tomography or CT examination.

　　②The upper lobe bronchus is blocked by the tumor and the upper lobe lung is completely atelectic, and it surrounds the swollen lymph nodes around the hilum and mediastinum. Because the peripheral edge of the atelectic upper lobe is smooth and tight Pasted on the mediastinum, the image resembles a mediastinal tumor. Differentiation requires oblique bronchial tomography or CT (computed tomography) imaging, and attention should be paid to the reduction in the texture of the blood vessels in the shadows when the atelectasis are present, and other lung lobes present compensatory emphysema.

　　 ③Long-malignant lung cancer, such as small cell lung cancer, has a small primary tumor, but a secondary tumor is very obvious, which is clinically manifested as a primary tumor in the lung. The mediastinal metastatic lymph nodes are large, resembling mediastinal tumors. This type of mediastinal lung cancer is not difficult to identify because the metastatic lymph nodes are mostly nodular at the edges and mostly in the mediastinum.

　　The most common of the three types of mediastinal lung cancer is the first one, which was encountered clinically until the chest exploration was found to be mediastinal lung cancer is not a mediastinal tumor. Sometimes this type of lung cancer surgery is extremely difficult and preoperative There should be sufficient preparation. As with other lung cancer treatment methods, the treatment method is selected according to the specific situation of the patient, and it must be timely and effective.
