Giant lung tumor was successfully removed! In the afternoon of May 29, the hospital’s thoracic surgery department successfully removed a giant tumor weighing 1.5 kilograms from the left side of the lung of a 78-year-old man surnamed Han from Caiyuan Township. This not only relieved the old man of the stubborn disease and pain that had been haunting him for years, but also saved his life. In 2003, the old man, who had always been in good health, suddenly had a cough and hemoptysis, so his family brought him to a large hospital. The hospital gave the old man a CT scan of his chest and found a tumor in his left lung. The doctor told the old man’s children that the old man was suffering from advanced lung cancer, which was incurable, with a survival period of less than three months and more than six months, and asked them to take the old man home and do more filial piety while preparing the old man’s affairs. With a heavy heart, the family obeyed the doctor’s orders. Five years have passed, and the old man is constantly suffering from a severe cough and severe hemoptysis. Sometimes, the amount of hemoptysis was as much as several hundred milliliters at a time, and he almost lost his life due to suffocation. On May 18 this year, the family did not want to see the old man suffer from pain all day, so they came to the hospital’s thoracic surgery department with the idea of trying. After a careful examination, the thoracic surgeon thought that the old man was suffering from a huge benign tumor on the left side of the lung, and there was a chance of surgery, but due to the long course of the disease and the old man’s old age and frailty, the surgery was extremely risky. In the afternoon of May 29, after thorough preoperative preparation and nearly 4 hours of efforts by all the operation team members, a huge lung tumor of about 15cm×10cm×10cm and weighing 1.5kg was successfully and completely removed. At present, the old man is recovering well after surgery and will be discharged from the hospital soon.
