Eight people overlooked "suspicion of lung cancer" at a medical examination 11:42 on January 9 in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo

It turned out that a medical institution that had conducted lung cancer screening in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, did not perform screening according to the ward's standards, and overlooked eight suspected lung cancers. The ward will contact the subject and invite them to take the necessary tests.

According to Shinagawa City, it was Shinagawa City's "Think Park Gastrointestinal Clinic" that violated.

When the medical association of the ward re-examined the images of 842 people who were judged to be normal among the 889 people who were screened for about 6 years from October 2013, when the screening was conducted, Close examination was required, and eight of them were suspected of having lung cancer.

At this institution, only one front image was taken of the chest X-ray, which violated the ward's standards and would normally have to be taken one at the front and one at the side.

In addition, the images had to be diagnosed by multiple physicians, including a respiratory and radiological specialist, but no specialist was included.

Last July, the ward's medical association, to which the ward commissioned medical examinations, noticed the violation and conducted an investigation, which was reported to the ward in September.

One out of the eight suspected of having lung cancer has already seen another medical institution and found that it is not lung cancer, and the ward is calling on the remaining seven to take the necessary tests. .

The medical institution tells the ward, "I'm not a specialist, but I thought I could diagnose because I have specialty."
