Doctors compete to cure lung cancer, this high incidence no one asks! The patient suffered from physical and mental pain for a long time

When thoracic surgery experts generally focus on the treatment of thoracic diseases, diseases that occur in the chest wall are seriously ignored, forming a "the bigger the hospital, the more famous thoracic surgery, the less attention the chest wall disease" phenomenon.
December 5, the General Assembly of the Chinese Thoracic Wall Surgery Federation was held in Guangzhou, attended by 200 experts from all over the country, in order to arouse the attention of the whole society to chest wall health, the Alliance initiative will be set up every year on May 9 as "chest wall care day".
doctors focus on chest diseases, chest wall disease neglected thoracic wall disease refers to a variety of diseases that occur on the chest wall, in the traditional clinical division of thoracic surgery.
, thoracic wall surgery is still a brand-new surgical field.
Wang Wenlin, director of thoracic wall surgery at the Second People's Hospital of Guangdong Province and director of thoracic wall surgery at the Second People's Hospital of Guangdong Province, said in an interview with 39 Health that in recent years, thoracic surgery technology has made great progress, but due to the large-scale use of thoracic mirror technology, thoracic surgeons generally focus on the treatment of thoracic diseases, lung, esopaedic, vertical diseases have become the main treatment of most thoracic surgery, especially attention to lung joints.
"This leads to unbalanced development of disciplines, leading to the neglect of some diseases," he said, noting that chest wall deformities, tumors, trauma, defects, and infections are clinically seriously neglected.
many hospitals do not treat chest wall trauma and fractures, funnel chest surgery is rarely carried out.
, the actual incidence of chest wall disease is quite high.
, the overall incidence rate is even higher than that of in-thoracic diseases.
example, the rate of chest wall malformation is about 1%.
" patients are generally very eager for treatment, but do not know where to look, the disease has been repeatedly delayed;
" Wang Wenlin told 39 health, even if some hospitals have diagnosis and treatment of chest wall diseases, such operations are done by pediatrics, some orthopaedics, some thoracic surgery, irregular diagnosis and treatment, resulting in unsatisfactory treatment results, urgent need for social attention, urgent need for thoracic surgeons to pay attention to.
On May 9, 2018, Wang Wenlin, director of thoracic wall surgery at the Second People's Hospital of Guangdong Province, founded the country's first independent thoracic wall surgery, and then led the establishment of China's first professional organization for thoracic wall surgery, the Thoracic Wall Surgery Professional Committee of the Guangdong Society of Thoracic Wall Diseases, as its chairman;
Concerned about chest wall health, alert to chest wall disease two major hazards Wang Wenlin was a senior cardiothoracic surgeon, early years mainly engaged in surgery related to chest diseases related to clinical work, but he found that the general neglect of chest wall diseases, more need to be studied.
chest wall disease has two main harms: harm one, chest wall structure abnormal and cause physiological discomfort.
many patients because of chest wall depression, compression to the heart and lungs, affect breathing function, affect circulation function.
harm to the second, almost all have serious psychological pain.
low self-esteem, depression, autism, many patients do not dare to swim outside, dare not find objects, find a job is also discriminated against.
" a large number of patients long-term suffering from physical and mental pain, seeking medical treatment, which has undoubtedly become a serious social problem.
" Wang Wenlin is very sympathetic to these patients, not only to study the disease itself, but also to study the treatment of the disease surgery.
In 2020, Wang Wenlin led the thoracic wall surgery of the Second People's Hospital of Guangdong Province, completed the world's largest group of thoracic wall surgery, the annual surgical volume exceeded 1000 units;
On the original intention of setting up a "chest wall care day", Wang Wenlin said: "Chest wall disease is a very painful disease, patients in addition to physical pain, but also psychological pain, the establishment of this day is to hope to arouse the attention of the whole society, not only let doctors, but also let the patient's family, friends, classmates, colleagues, and even strangers, to care for these patients, eliminate their suffering."
Future, the Alliance will carry out subject-specific health publicity and popular science activities throughout the country when the annual Chest Wall Care Day comes, so that more people can learn about chest wall disease and participate in caring for chest wall patients.
