Can a lung tumor 29cmx19cm be operated on?



Whether a lung tumor 29cmx19cm can be operated needs to be decided according to the pathology and CT.

For those considered benign, the probability of resection is still relatively high for such a large tumor, but the relationship between the lesion and important blood vessels and nerves also needs to be assessed by CT to guide the development of the surgical plan. Of course, if the general condition is poor and cannot tolerate surgery, surgery will not be considered.

If malignancy is considered, surgery is not recommended because malignant tumors are so large, the probability of peripheral invasion is very high, often with important blood vessels wrapped around it, and surgery is difficult to completely remove the lesion, and the risk of surgery is also higher.

If the lesion cannot be removed, puncture can be considered to clarify the pathology, and according to the results of the pathology to choose the appropriate chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted and other treatments. Some patients are also able to benefit.

Therefore, lung tumor 29cmx19cm lesions are large, benign ones need to assess the difficulty and risk of surgery, while malignant ones have a lower probability of being able to be operated, and puncture is considered to clarify the pathology.
