A lung nodule was found during a routine physical examination last year, and it grew larger on a follow-up check this year. I was diagnosed with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma. I came to Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital after hearing about it, and my attending physician was not only highly skilled, but also performed a precise uniportal thoracoscopic minimally invasive surgery for me. The doctor was very patient and thorough, and answered all of my concerns. I am recovering very well after the surgery, all follow-up test results have returned to normal, and the symptoms of cough and chest tightness have completely disappeared. I am deeply grateful to the doctor for saving my life!

A health check last year found an 8 mm lung nodule, and I had been very anxious ever since. This year, we came to Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital for treatment. The doctor reviewed the imaging very carefully, made an accurate diagnosis, and recommended minimally invasive surgery. The surgeon’s technique was excellent, the postoperative incision was very small, and during ward rounds the doctor was gentle and patient, answering our concerns in detail. The postoperative recovery has gone very smoothly so far, all follow-up test results have returned to normal, and the pathology results were benign. We have finally been able to put our minds at ease. Many thanks!

A routine checkup last year found an early lung nodule, which caused me a great deal of psychological stress. This year, I came to Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital for treatment. The attending physician was not only highly skilled, but also precisely removed the lesion through minimally invasive surgery. In addition, the doctor was very patient and attentive, answered all of my questions in detail, and greatly relieved my anxiety. My postoperative recovery has gone very smoothly so far, and follow-up examinations show that all indicators have returned to normal. My breathing is much easier now. I am very grateful to the doctor for the treatment!

I had long been troubled by bronchiectasis with infection, with repeated coughing and sputum production. I found a specialist at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital on Haodf. During the in-person visit, the doctor made a very accurate diagnosis and was kind and approachable, without any sense of distance. The doctor developed a detailed treatment plan for anti-infection therapy and sputum clearance. After this period of systematic treatment, my coughing has now clearly improved, and the follow-up chest CT shows that the inflammation has been largely absorbed. My quality of life has improved greatly, and I sincerely appreciate it!
