Yuan Huaibin, a comprehensive expert in lung cancer, suggested that once the patient finds the "lung shadow", he should not be overly nervous, but should actively find a specialist doctor (thoracic surgery, respiratory medicine) to make a clear diagnosis, and the doctor will apply other auxiliary examination methods according to the specific situation of the patient, such as chest CT, flexible bronchoscopy, CT positioning puncture, sputum cell examination, etc. to further clarify the diagnosis.
