Looking at the small patient on the operating bed, everyone felt powerless.

After all, he is still young. How can an old man like Dean Guo have time to feel sad about autumn at this time? Instead, he is calmly thinking about the problem:

"Lao Zhu, do you remember any books or magazines that recorded neonatal lung cancer?"

Zhu Huoyan thought about it for a long time and shook his head:

"I have never heard of or seen that there were several cases of suspected lung cancer in our hospital, but the families of the children refused to do autopsies, so the deaths were unclear in the end."

Even the People's Hospital does not have a CT machine. Ordinary X-rays are still old-fashioned CR machines. Small nodules or tumors cannot be seen at all.

For this small patient, the X-ray film from the Second Hospital did not show the tumor, so the preoperative examination was missed.

This problem exists both at home and abroad.

Even hospitals that have CT scans rarely perform CT scans on infants and young children. One reason is that the children are uncooperative, and the other reason is that the doctors would not even think of the diagnosis of lung cancer.

When a child has symptoms such as cough and fever for a long time, the first thing doctors think of is pneumonia, the most common cause, followed by tuberculosis. They can’t even think of chylothorax, let alone lung cancer.

Dean Guo is meditating again:

"How do you think such a young child got lung cancer? Is it his own fault, or was it brought from his mother's womb?"

This question suddenly made Chen Qi start to think deeply.

As we all know, lung cancer is mainly more common among smokers over 40 years old, people who have been exposed to second-hand smoke for a long time, people who live in areas with serious air pollution, people who are often exposed to carcinogens that can cause lung cancer, and people with chronic respiratory diseases.<

/p>

So what is the reason for this newborn who is only 2 months old?

Even if you stay in the environment of second-hand smoke every day, you will not get lung cancer immediately, unless you are placed in the Adao Nuclear Power Plant.

Director Zhu said at this time:

"This should be related to the child's own problems. It is more likely to be brought in from the mother's womb."

Chen Qi thought of another possibility. There are papers on this topic in relevant magazines.

"Do you think cancer is contagious or hereditary?"

Dean Guo rolled his eyes at Chen Qi: "I never said that cancer is contagious. Even if it is, have the child's parents got cancer?"

Chen Qi was at a loss for words. The child's father was still fighting on the front lines, so he was obviously not sick. The child's mother...

Chen Qi suddenly thought of Shen Lifen, whose face was a little yellow and weak, looking like anemia or malnutrition.

I always thought it was caused by long-term care of children, but now I think about it, could Shen Lifen have some kind of chronic wasting disease? For example, could there be cancer?

Chen Qi had such an idea in his mind and couldn't get it out of his mind.

Nurse Qiu next to her saw that the three great doctors were all lost in thought, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious:

"Dean Guo, Director Zhu, Director Chen, what should we do with the child now? Should we continue the operation or close the chest?"

Dean Guo shouted to the border alliance: "Go and get the pathology report."

"Hey, good to come!"

Bianmeng obediently brought the pathology report to Dean Guo and Director Zhu, holding his hands tightly and not daring to show it. These two were "master-level" elders and could not afford to offend.

Dean Guo and Director Zhu discussed it and carefully observed the condition of the right lung. They both nodded.

Dean Guo spoke first:

"The operation should still continue. Not only must it be continued, but it must also be expanded. Taking advantage of this thoracotomy, not only must the thoracic duct that caused the chylofluid to be exposed must be ligated, but the lower lobe of the child's right lung must also be removed together with the malignant tumor.

”

Director Zhu added:

"The pathology report shows that the lung cancer is relatively in situ, and there is currently no sign of metastasis, so we take this opportunity to remove it together. Maybe the newborn's lung cancer can be cured and there will be no recurrence."

Everyone in the operating room swallowed their saliva, thinking that this operation would probably take less than half a day.

Moreover, part of the lungs of such a young child must be removed. It is unknown whether lung cancer can be cured and whether survival will be affected after surgery.
