Changshu Rural Commercial Bank now has many people with pulmonary nodules. What is the main root behind it?

Experts mean that many employees of Changshu Rural Commercial Bank found pulmonary nodules during physical examination because of the air and working environment. The government attaches great importance to this, and is organizing medical experts in Suzhou and Changshu to conduct physical examination reports for relevant employees of financial technology companies, check digital chest radiographs and past medical history, and give diagnostic advice. At the same time, Changshu Rural Commercial Bank was instructed to set up a special working group led by the Disciplinary Committee of Rural Commercial Bank.

The working group consists of representatives elected by all employees of financial technology companies in order to quickly carry out third-party environmental testing. Employee representatives * * * jointly decide to select the test content, and publish the relevant results in time to respond to employees' concerns. In general, the small nodules found in the lungs refer to nodular lesions with a diameter of about 10 mm found during CT examination of the lungs. Clinically, nodules smaller than 7mm are usually called micro-nodules, and nodules smaller than 3mm are called micro-nodules.

In many cases, small pulmonary nodules are occasionally found during physical examination, and there are basically no typical symptoms. Small pulmonary nodules can be distributed in different parts of the lung, mostly single nodules, with more cases. Theoretically, only by pathological examination of the cells on the nodules can 100% determine the benign and malignant diseases. Body form images of patients scanned by CT or PET-CT are used to judge the benign and malignant diseases with limited accuracy.

Even with high-resolution CT and high-level doctors, the accuracy of judging the benign and malignant pulmonary nodules will not reach 100% of that of detecting pulmonary nodules. Only a small part may be lung cancer or precancerous lesions and need surgery, and most of them need regular examination. Doctors believe that pulmonary nodules are more likely to be benign, but patients will be required to check CT regularly if lung cancer cannot be completely ruled out. It is recommended that patients have a CT scan every three months. If the reexamination results show that the nodules have not increased or decreased after three months, they should be reexamined once every six months. After reexamination, the nodule remains unchanged, and then CT should be reexamined once a year until the nodule observation time reaches five years.
