Chapter 676: Chapter 310: Misfortune Befalls the Afflicted, the Second Patient’s Fear (Part 3)

On the chest X-ray, you can see a round lesion with clear boundaries.

The lung lesion is located in the peripheral area, showing lobulation.

It’s basically confirmed as a solitary lesion, with a rather large diameter, approaching 4cm.

The center of the lesion is evenly calcified.

This film, he found very diagnostically significant. He took a photo of it on the spot with his phone.

"Dr. Li, how is it? I didn’t get a tumor, right?"

The patient asked nervously, having not even buttoned up his clothes properly.

There are still plenty of patients afraid of dying!

"Uh... the situation should be fine. I found a calcified lesion when taking the X-ray, and it’s quite large, nearly 4cm."

Li Jingsheng gently informed the patient of his diagnosis.

This patient’s lesion is very likely a tumor.

But judging by intuition, it doesn’t seem malignant.

Without a pathological examination, he couldn’t be sure of the lesion’s nature.

Also, this patient’s condition definitely requires surgery for treatment.

Often, some fake doctors would deceive patients, saying tumors could shrink on their own or even disappear. They say medication or injecting drugs into the tumor would cure it.

No incision, no surgery.

Yet some patients still believe them.

The outcome is predictable.

Currently, in tumor treatment, indeed many methods have been researched, including targeted drugs, and even a few specific drugs for certain cancers.

But the mainstream treatment method remains surgical removal.

Followed by radiotherapy or chemotherapy to achieve a cure.

This has been the most mature traditional treatment method since humans discovered tumors.

There has accumulated quite rich treatment experience.

Far more reliable than injecting drugs into tumors as the fake doctors say.

Also, the recently invented extremely low-temperature method to freeze and then break up the tumor has made some breakthroughs. It’s expected to be clinically applied soon.

Overall, the means of treating tumors are increasing.

Experience has become richer.

"As long as it’s a calcified lesion, I’m just afraid it’s a tumor! Thankfully, thankfully, it’s a bit of a relief in misfortune."

After listening, the patient looked relieved.

It really makes one feel a bit like crying and laughing.

Li Jingsheng couldn’t bear to tell him the truth.

Afraid he wouldn’t be able to handle it, would be scared sick.

Beside him, Siying serving as Li Jingsheng’s assistant had a strange expression, and Li Jingsheng glared at her.

She didn’t have much work experience, and coupled with her youth, she didn’t realize a small action might bring consequences.

Receiving Li Jingsheng’s warning, she turned her face away, not daring to say a word.

"Can you treat it here?"

The patient asked somewhat urgently again.
