How to read a bronchial cancer report

Bronchial cancer report includes imaging report, pathology report and so on, and its reading should go through the films according to the type and location of bronchial cancer.
1. Imaging report: for example, early central bronchial carcinoma can rely on imaging data to show nodules in the bronchial lumen, etc. In early stage, thickening of bronchial wall and narrowing of bronchial lumen can be seen. In early stage, thickening of bronchial wall, narrowing of lumen and mucus plugs in sub-segmental bronchial tubes can be seen; in progressive stage, a mass in hilar position can be seen encircling the trachea and the large blood vessels of hilar lungs.
2. Pathological report: bronchial carcinoma is generally divided into 4 tissue types.
(1) Squamous epithelial cell carcinoma: bronchial stenosis can be seen in early stage. The cancerous tissue degenerates and necrotizes to form cavities or abscesses.
(2) Small cell undifferentiated carcinoma: it often invades extra-bronchial lung parenchyma and fuses with hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes to form a mass.
(3) Large-cell undifferentiated carcinoma: it is often irregular or polygonal, arranged in solid nests, and most of them can be seen large hemorrhagic necrosis.
(4) Adenocarcinoma: common in peripheral lung cancer. The mass is often seen at the edge of the lung, and the adenocarcinoma is rich in blood vessels.
In addition to the above reports, bronchial cancer examination also includes fiberoptic bronchial report, which can visualize the new organisms in the bronchial tubes and can clarify the location of the tumor.
If bronchial cancer is diagnosed, early and standardized treatment is recommended to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
