Revealing the truth about "lung cancer" in "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils": Can lung cancer be diagnosed with a chest X-ray? Will lung cancer cause vomiting of black water?

Has everyone watched "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils"?

If you haven’t yet!

I suggest you go check it out soon.

Because I won't watch it anymore

I'm about to spoil the show~

The key message throughout the entire drama is "lung cancer". The male protagonist Chen Guilin became increasingly negative due to the death of his grandmother. He happened to learn from a chest X-ray in the hands of a female doctor that he had "advanced lung cancer", so he decided to go to the police station to surrender.

Can chest X-rays diagnose lung cancer?

cannot!

Because chest X-rays can only detect solid nodules larger than 1 cm, and chest X-rays have overlapping images from front to back, lung tissue lesions in special parts are easily missed, so chest X-rays are not recommended as a routine method for lung cancer screening.

What tests can patients use to diagnose lung cancer?

It is recommended to use low-dose spiral CT of the chest to screen for lung cancer. The so-called low-dose spiral CT refers to lowering the radiation dose of ordinary CT to achieve the purpose of reducing radiation. Judging from the clarity and effect of the image presentation, there is not much difference from ordinary CT, but its X-ray load is much smaller than that of ordinary CT, and the harm to patients is also much smaller, so it is more suitable for screening and follow-up of lung cancer.

Pathological examination is the gold standard for diagnosing lung cancer. Pathological examination can be performed after surgical removal of the tumor, or by obtaining tumor tissue for examination through biopsy or other methods.

Can a person with advanced lung cancer still beat the second-largest player on the list?

Back to the show, Chen Guilin came to the police station to turn himself in, but no one knew the wanted criminal. He had to wait in line to turn himself in, which was unbearable, so he decided to be "Zhou Chu" and get rid of the first two "big brothers" on the wanted list. The male protagonist, who is in the late stage of cancer, can actually beat up the second one on the list. Seeing this, I can't help but wonder, "Is he really sick?"

Lung cancer in the late stage usually has symptoms such as severe coughing, coughing up blood, difficulty breathing, chest pain, decreased physical strength, body pain, extreme weight loss, etc. The male protagonist does not have these symptoms, which also sets the stage for the future.

Can lung cancer cause vomiting of black water? Can it be cured ?

I believe the most impressive plot for everyone is that the male protagonist spitted dirty water at a rally held by the "Venerable" disguised as the No. 1 brother on the list.

"Why isn't he coughing up blood? What's the point of coughing up black water?" The audience was stunned when they saw this. Then came the even more miraculous plot - the male protagonist was sent to the hospital and learned that the lesions in his lungs had disappeared.

Everyone was stunned. "It's so miraculous that even advanced lung cancer can disappear?"

Generally speaking, tumor necrosis and invasion of blood vessels can cause coughing up blood, but vomiting black water is impossible. At the same time, the probability of cancer disappearing without formal treatment is almost negligible. Most cancers can only get a good survival rate if they are diagnosed and treated early. The male protagonist saw through the scam of the "Venerable" and found that the black water was poisoned. He also knew that he was deceived by them.

Will all your hair fall out if you get cancer?

In the end, after the male protagonist eliminated the evil, he surrendered himself and went to prison. We then saw that the person who had lung cancer was a female doctor, and all her hair had fallen out, but the male protagonist did not have lung cancer!

Actually, there is a problem here. Usually in TV dramas, the hair falls out after being diagnosed with cancer. This is also a stereotype in TV dramas. Some cancer patients who receive radiotherapy or chemotherapy may indeed lose their hair. But not all cancer patients who receive radiotherapy or chemotherapy will lose their hair. There are some radiotherapy and chemotherapy regimens that do not cause hair loss.

In addition, even the hair loss caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy is not permanent. After the treatment is over, the hair will gradually grow again. Moreover, there are many measures that can alleviate the hair loss caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

It turns out that the above doubts are not bugs

The director arranged it on purpose!

Although the male protagonist's lung cancer was a lie

But ordinary people still need to take precautions

High-risk groups should also be screened regularly
