Yu de wɔri bɔt benign lɔng tumor? Lɛ wi no ustɛm dɛn bi!

If yu dɔktɔ se pan yu X-ray ɔ CT skan se yu gɛt "smɔl lump/tumor na yu lɔng," i nɔmal fɔ fil fɔ fred ɛn shɔk wantɛm wantɛm. We wi yɛri di wɔd "tumor," wi maynd kin jomp wantɛm wantɛm to di sik we wi kin fred fɔ gɛt kansa. Bɔt bifo yu rili fred, yu nid fɔ ɔndastand dis: Nɔto ɔl di tumbu dɛn gɛt kansa. Tide, wi go tɔk bɔt di tכmכro dεm we nכ de kכnsa, we nכ denja we de fכm na di lכng.

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, wetin na dɛn lɔng tɔŋ ya we nɔ gɛt kansa?

Tu men kayn lכng tכmכro dεm de:

1. Malignant Tumors: Na dis wi de kol Kansa. Dɛn tin ya kin skata to ɔda pat dɛn na di bɔdi.

2. Benign Tumors: Dɛn tin ya nɔto kansa. Dɛn nɔ kin skata to ɔda pat dɛn na di bɔdi. Dis na di tɔpik we wi de tɔk bɔt tide.

If dɔktɔ tɛl yu se, "Di lump na yu lɔng nɔ tan lɛk kansa, i nɔ denja" (benign), wetin dat min? Lɛ wi luk di men difrɛns bitwin wan bɔdi we gɛt kansa ɛn wan we nɔ gɛt kansa.

Yu tink se kayn tɔŋ dɛn de we nɔ gɛt kansa?

Yɛs, sɔm kayn tumbu dɛn de we nɔ gɛt kansa. כltu, dεn kכl di tכmכro dεm we sכm pas 3 sεntimita (lεk 1.2 inch) "nodul dεm." Dɛn kɔl di wan dɛn we big pas dat "mass." wan lump lεk dis we de fכm na di lכng dεm dεn kכl am "pulmonary nodule."

Na sɔm pan di men kayn dɛn ya:

Hamartomas we de na di wɔl

Wetin mek tumbu dɛn lɛk dis kin fɔm? Wetin na di sayn dɛm we de sho se yu gɛt dis sik?

De gud nyus na dat, pas 90% pan di pipul dɛm wae gɛt dis sik nɔr kin gɛt ɛni sayn . Bɔku pan dɛn tin ya, dɛn kin fɛn am bay chans. Dɔktɔ dɛn kin si dɛn nɔmɔ we dɛn du ɛkstrem rayt ɔ CT skan na dɛn chɛst fɔ ɔda rizin.

Bɔt nɔr kin apin so ɔltɛm, sɔmbɔdi kin gɛt sɔm kayn sik. If na so i bi, dɛn kin gɛt:

Aw dɔktɔ go no fɔ tru se dis nɔto kansa?

Yu dɔktɔ go yuz bɔku tin dɛn fɔ no if dis lump na kansa ɔ nɔto kansa.

1. di sayz εn di growth rεt fכ di kכt:

• Di smɔl we di lump smɔl, na di mɔ i nɔ go gɛt kansa.
• Tumɔs dɛn we nɔ gɛt kansa kin gro sloslo ɛn dɛn nɔ kin big fɔ lɔng lɔng tɛm.
• Bɔku tɛm, di tumbu dɛn we gɛt kansa kin dubl insay sɔm mɔnt, so di dɔktɔ go du ɔda CT skan afta sɔm mɔnt fɔ si if di tumbu dɔn big.

2. Shep ɛn wetin de insay di knot:

• Bɔku tɛm, di tɔŋ dɛn we nɔ gɛt kansa kin gɛt wan say we smɔl ɛn dɛn kin gɛt klia ɛn rawnd shep .

Wetin na bayɔpsi tɛst?

bayɔpsi na wan we we dɛn kin tek wan rili smɔl tisu frɔm wan lump we dɛn kin sɔprayz pan ɛn chɛk am ɔnda maykroskɔp fɔ si us kayn sɛl dɛn de insay. Bɔku we dɛn de fɔ du dis.

Dɛn go anestez yu we dɛn de du dis, so yu nɔ go fil ɛni prɔblɛm.

Aw dɛn kin trit am? Yu tink se dɛn nid fɔ pul dɛn tumbu ya?

Bɔku tɛm, di lɛng tumor dɛn we nɔ gɛt kansa nɔ nid ɛni tritmɛnt . Di bɛst tin fɔ yu dɔktɔ fɔ du na fɔ fala "watch and wait" we.

Dis min se dɛn go aks yu fɔ mek dɛn du CT skan ɔltɛm (lɛk 6 mɔnt ɔ wan ia) fɔ si if di saiz ɔ shep fɔ di tɔŋ dɔn chenj. If chenj nɔ de, natin nɔ de fɔ wɔri bɔt.

Bɔt pan dɛn kayn tin ya, di dɔktɔ kin se dɛn fɔ tek bayɔpsi ɔ ɔpreshɔn fɔ pul di lump:
