Tiring day but fruitful...

EBUS - TBNA with good results.
It's a minimally invasive biopsy of mediastinal lymph node to diagnose lung cancer / lymphoma / TB / sarcoidosis / secondary metastasis.

EBUS -TBNA (Endobronchial Ultrasound Transbronchial Needle Aspiration Biopsy) is minimally invasive procedure to acquire samples of the lymph nodes in the lung, done under sedation and mostly as a day procedure.

The very first one done in Southern region of Malaysia=)

🫁 慢性咳嗽:不可忽视

❓ 什么是慢性咳嗽?

👉 咳嗽 超过 6 周 就称为 慢性咳嗽,需要重视!



📌 常见原因(五大类)

1️⃣ 感染
• 结核病(TB)
• 真菌感染
• 耐药性细菌 / 病毒

2️⃣ 炎症
• 哮喘
• 吸烟相关肺病
• 其他罕见炎症

3️⃣ 刺激源
• 鼻腔:鼻窦炎 → 鼻涕倒流
• 胃部:胃酸倒流(GERD) → 刺激喉咙 / 气管

4️⃣ 药物
• 部分降压药(ACE 抑制剂)

5️⃣ 癌症
• 肺癌、喉癌、淋巴瘤等等



⚠️ 何时需要尽快就医?

✔️ 咳嗽带血
✔️ 体重下降、夜间盗汗
✔️ 胸痛、气促、声音嘶哑
✔️ 久治不愈



💡 温馨提示

🔹 慢性咳嗽病因多样,不能掉以轻心
🔹 及早就诊,找出真正原因
🔹 建议就诊 呼吸科专科医生

🌬️ Chronic Cough – Why Worry?

🤧 If you’ve been coughing daily for more than 6 weeks, it’s called a chronic cough — and it deserves attention.

🔎 Possible causes include:
1️⃣ Infections – TB, fungal, or resistant bacterial/viral infections
2️⃣ Inflammation – Asthma, smoking-related lung disease
3️⃣ Irritation – Postnasal drip (from sinus), acid reflux (GERD)
4️⃣ Medications – Some blood pressure drugs (ACE inhibitors)
5️⃣ Cancer – Lung, throat, lymphoma, and others

⚠️ Why it matters:
• Some causes are serious if left untreated
• Early diagnosis can prevent complications
• Treatment depends on the underlying cause

💡 Don’t ignore a chronic cough. See a respiratory specialist early!


-----‐------------------------------------------------------------------------------

🌬️ Batuk Lebih 6 Minggu? Jangan Abaikan!

Jika batuk anda berlarutan >6 minggu, ia dipanggil batuk kronik. 🚨
Puncanya boleh datang dari pelbagai faktor:

1️⃣ Jangkitan – TB, kulat, bakteria/virus yang kebal
2️⃣ Keradangan – Asma, penyakit paru-paru akibat merokok
3️⃣ Rangsangan/Iritasi
• Dari hidung 👉 rhinosinusitis (lendir menitis ke tekak)
• Dari perut 👉 refluks asid (GERD)
4️⃣ Ubat-ubatan – Contoh: ubat darah tinggi (ACE inhibitor)
5️⃣ Kanser – Paru-paru, tekak, limfoma

⚠️ Batuk kronik tidak boleh dipandang ringan.
👉 Jumpalah pakar pernafasan untuk kenal pasti punca sebenar & dapatkan rawatan awal.

🚨 What is Lung Cancer Screening? And Why You Should Care. 🫁

Did you know lung cancer can be detected before symptoms even start — and potentially cured?

Here’s what you need to know 👇

✅ What is it?
A lung cancer screening uses a low-dose CT scan to catch lung cancer early. The scan takes less than 30 seconds!

✅ Is it safe?
Yes. The radiation dose is very low — about 1/5th of a regular CT scan, and 1/3 of what you naturally get from the environment in a year.

✅ Who should get screened?

Aged 45 or older

Current or former smokers

Even non-smokers with a family history or heavy second-hand smoke exposure, especially in Asian populations.

✅ But I feel fine… do I still need this?
Yes. Most early-stage lung cancers have no symptoms. By the time symptoms show up, it could already be late-stage.

✅ Can lung cancer be cured?
Yes! Thanks to modern medicine, stages 1, 2, and even some stage 3 lung cancers can now be treated and potentially cured.

✅ Surprising benefits:

For every 100 people screened, 1–2 have lung cancer (70–80% of which are in early stage and curable!).

Other cancers like breast and kidney cancer are sometimes detected too.

25% show other lung issues.

65% have signs of heart disease that can be managed early.

So... what are you waiting for?

Program pemeriksaan paru-paru
Langkah awal untuk mengesan kanser paru-paru

🤷‍♀️Apakah itu program pemeriksaan kesihatan paru paru?

Program pemeriksaan paru-paru menggunakan CT Dos Rendah (Low-dose CT) dan pemeriksaan ini disiapkan dalam kurang daripada 30 saat.
• Pantas — Imbasan hanya mengambil beberapa puluh saat
• Tanpa Sakit — Tiada prosedur invasif diperlukan
• Selamat — Dos radiasi yang sangat rendah

🤷‍♂️Adakah CT scan ini selamat?
• Dos radiasi hanya 1/5 daripada CT biasa
• Lebih kurang 1/3 daripada pendedahan radiasi semula jadi tahunan

🤷Siapa yang perlu menjalani pemeriksaan kanser paru-paru?

✔️ Perokok / Bekas perokok berumur 45 tahun ke atas
✔️ Mempunyai sejarah keluarga kanser paru-paru
✔️ Terdedah kepada asap rokok dalam jangka masa panjang

Kenapa perlu jalani pemeriksaan walaupun rasa sihat?
• Kanser paru-paru pada peringkat awal selalunya tidak menunjukkan sebarang simptom
• Bila simptom muncul, kebiasaannya sudah berada di peringkat lewat
👉 Pemeriksaan ini ialah satu-satunya cara untuk mengesan kanser peringkat awal sebelum gejala muncul

Bolehkah kanser paru-paru disembuhkan?

Dengan kemajuan perubatan:
• Kanser paru-paru peringkat pertama, kedua, malah sebahagian daripada peringkat ketiga boleh disembuhkan
• Kunci utama ialah pengesanan awal dan rawatan awal

📊 Data antarabangsa menunjukkan:
• Setiap 100 orang yang diperiksa, 1–2 orang dikesan mempunyai kanser paru-paru, dan 70–80% daripadanya berada di peringkat awal serta boleh dirawat
• Pemeriksaan ini juga boleh mengesan kanser lain seperti kanser payudara, kanser buah pinggang
• 1 daripada 4 individu yang diperiksa didapati mempunyai penyakit paru-paru lain
• 65% individu didapati mempunyai saluran darah jantung yang sempit, yang boleh dicegah sebelum serangan jantung berlaku

😊 Kesimpulan 😊

Pemeriksaan kanser paru-paru bukan sekadar untuk mengesan kanser,
tetapi juga perlindungan menyeluruh untuk kesihatan paru-paru dan jantung anda.

🌿 Pemeriksaan awal adalah langkah awal untuk melindungi kesihatan anda dan keluarga.
