What does lung cancer examine before operation

summary

Some time ago, my aunt was diagnosed with lung cancer, because the discovery is more timely, so you can choose surgical treatment, but before the operation to check a lot of items. We immediately consulted the doctor, if you want to do lung cancer surgery, what do you need to check? Now I'd like to introduce the preoperative examination of lung cancer.

What does lung cancer examine before operation

First: fiberoptic bronchoscopy: fiberoptic bronchoscopy can directly observe the changes of tissue, take tissue for pathological examination, or extract bronchial secretions for cytological examination, in order to make a clear diagnosis and determine the histological type. At the same time, fiberoptic bronchoscopy is very important for lung surgery because it can understand the endoluminal condition of trachea and bronchus. This examination is also very important to determine the nature of the tumor and the surrounding conditions of lung cancer.

Second: abdominal ultrasound and CT: liver, retroperitoneum, kidney and adrenal gland are the common metastatic sites of lung cancer. Abdominal ultrasound or CT is needed to determine whether there is abdominal metastasis. Head CT: in recent years, due to the general application of head CT examination in patients with lung cancer, many asymptomatic patients with brain metastases have been found, which has won time for treatment. Simple brain metastases can be operated by stages with good results. When patients want to check, they must do a B ultrasound for the abdomen, and also do a brain CT.

Third: cardiopulmonary function test: cardiopulmonary function is an important content of preoperative evaluation, which is of great value in the formulation of surgical methods and the evaluation of postoperative pulmonary function recovery. Including ECG, pulmonary function test, arterial blood gas analysis, cardiac color Doppler ultrasound, long-term ECG and other examinations. Blood examination: coagulation function, blood type, blood routine, blood biochemistry and blood transfusion can understand the whole body condition of patients, prepare for operation and improve the safety of operation. It is very necessary to have a cardiopulmonary function test when preparing for the operation quickly. If you want to make the operation safer, you must do these tests.
