Li Jingsheng carefully examined the patient's detailed information.
The patient was over fifty years old.
Generally speaking, the older you are, the higher the risk of cancer.
For men over 40, body functions decline significantly, and the risk of cancer increases sharply. This is also why many doctors recommend that men over 45 undergo annual gastrointestinal endoscopies and various screenings for major diseases.
The male patient reported symptoms of coughing and shortness of breath, and sometimes a burning sensation between the chest and back.
The symptoms had lasted for almost three months.
After examination, the attending doctor found the patient had paroxysmal coughing with expectoration of small amounts of white viscous sputum and a low-grade fever of 37.5 degrees.
A persistent low-grade fever is a very bad sign.
Li Jingsheng always felt a bit on edge when encountering such patients.
Because the final diagnosis often turned out poor.
