Can fibroids be detected early?

If a person who has never had contact with fibroids has a fibroid, he or she will not know it even if he or she has it. In this case, he or she needs to go to the hospital for examination. With the continuous improvement of medical standards, the examination method for fibroids is relatively simple. Let's take a look at the article to see if fibroids can be detected in the early stages.

Generally, patients are unaware of the disease, and by the time the body shows abnormal reactions, the condition is already very serious. Therefore, in daily life, we should often do some examinations to avoid unnecessary harm. The following editor will introduce the commonly used test items for diagnosing fibroids.

1. Chest MRI examination: It is a fibroid examination without radiation damage. It can observe the image of the lung mass and its relationship with surrounding organs and large blood vessels in three dimensions from multiple aspects (including cross-section, coronal and sagittal planes, etc.), which is of great help in estimating surgical resection.

2. Serum tumor markers: Many serum tumor markers related to fibroids have been found. These markers may indicate the enhancement of carcinogenic factors or the degree of "detoxification" of certain carcinogens. Serum tumor markers for lung tumors may become valuable indicators for tumor staging and prognosis analysis, and can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. The results of fibroid marker detection must be combined with other test results and cannot be used alone for fibroid examination.

3. X-ray examination: 98% of fibroid patients can find abnormal signs from chest X-rays. X-ray fluoroscopy can provide dynamic observation and understand the changes in the bronchial lumen. This is a routine fibroid examination item, which is both effective and economical.

4. Sputum exfoliated cell examination: It is one of the simplest and most important methods for fibroid examination. It can detect exfoliated cancer cells in sputum, with a positive rate of up to 70%. However, it is generally required that the first deep sputum coughed up in the morning be sent for examination, and the examination should be continued for more than 3 days.

5. Microscopic examination of fibroids: It can directly observe the location of the lesion in the bronchus and its abnormal changes, aspirate secretions or take living tissue for pathological examination, obtain cytological or histological diagnosis, and consider the scope and method of surgical resection, or provide assistance in formulating chemotherapy plans.

The above are the examination methods for fibroids. What do you think after reading them? There are many ways to examine fibroids, so you need to go to the hospital to consult a doctor, because the examination methods of each hospital may be different.
