My uncle got lung cancer last year, but it was already in the middle stage when we found it. Recently, bone metastases have appeared. So how to treat bone metastases of lung cancer? Let's understand it through the following introduction.

How to treat bone metastasis of lung cancer

First of all, once lung cancer metastasis occurs, chemotherapy can be used first. Systemic chemotherapy can control the development of bone metastasis and relieve pain while treating primary lung lesions. Therefore, it can not only relieve pain, but also kill cancer cells and control their growth. Zoledronic acid is mainly used for the treatment of bone metastasis.

Secondly, once bone metastasis occurs in lung cancer, local radiotherapy can also be carried out. Radiotherapy can be divided into 60 cobalt irradiation, deep X-ray machine and linear accelerator. For solitary bone metastases, after the lung lesions are controlled and stabilized by chemotherapy, large dose and short course of radiotherapy can be given to relieve pain and kill cancer cells.

Finally, the lung bone metastases, and finally can be targeted therapy, for patients with systemic multiple bone metastases should not be radiotherapy, at this time can take radionuclide therapy. Radionuclide can reduce bone destruction and dissolution caused by bone metastasis, eliminate or alleviate severe pain caused by bone metastasis, and inhibit the development of bone metastasis. During this period, patients should also maintain a positive and optimistic mood, which is also very helpful for treatment.
