How to diagnose cancer in the early stages? Patient history of MCSC on the air of the program "News of Medicine"
NewsThe mediastinum is the area between the lungs where not only vital organs such as the heart, trachea and large vessels are located, but also lymph nodes. Mediastinal tumors often go unnoticed for a long time, because symptoms associated with them, such as cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain, can be mistaken for other diseases.
This situation was faced by our patient Dmitry, who had been worried about coughing for a long time. Suspecting bronchitis, he went to the doctor, but according to the results of the CT scan, it was in the mediastinal zone that the man revealed a tumor, the size of which was already more than 30 cm. Because of her, the man's right lung was almost completely turned off from the breathing process.
How the operating team of oncologists, cardiologists and vascular surgeons of the MCSC named after A.S. Loginov managed to successfully remove the tumor was told in detail by the head of the thoracoabdominal surgery department, MD, Professor Arif Kerimovich Allahverdiev.
