Treatment of lung cancer metastasis

summary

My cousin's mother, that is my aunt, was checked out of lung cancer metastasis yesterday, why my cousin is very painful, because she does not know how to do. In clinical medicine, there are many methods to treat lung cancer metastasis, but my aunt's situation is more serious, so I don't know which treatment method is better. Let me tell you about the treatment of lung cancer metastasis.

Treatment of lung cancer metastasis

Method 1: surgical treatment is the first choice for brain metastasis of lung cancer, which is the most direct and effective method. If the comprehensive quality of patients allows, try to surgical treatment. At the same time, for the patients with difficult surgical resection or large tumor volume and metastasis, preoperative and postoperative radiotherapy can be used to improve the surgical resection rate and reduce the recurrence rate of tumor. Early patients can choose surgical treatment, because the effect is better.

Method 2: Traditional Chinese medicine has no obvious therapeutic effect on brain metastasis of lung cancer. Because of its complex components, it is difficult for drug molecules to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, and even a small amount of drug molecules can not reach the effective concentration. Because only lipid soluble drugs with small molecular structure can pass through the blood-brain barrier and reach the target of treatment. But traditional Chinese medicine treatment can improve the body immunity, improve the comprehensive quality of patients, better accept other treatment methods, is a variety of auxiliary treatment methods. If it is advanced lung cancer patients, you can choose traditional Chinese medicine treatment.

Method 3: radiotherapy is a common method for brain metastasis of lung cancer, which can effectively reduce the volume of the tumor, relieve the symptoms and prolong the life of patients. However, radiotherapy also has some defects. For example, after radiotherapy, the symptoms of increased intracranial pressure can be aggravated due to edema of irradiated brain tissue, tissue necrosis and vascular changes in the lesions. At this time, the daily water intake should be appropriately limited, and diuretics such as dexamethasone or prednisolone and mannitol should be used to reduce the symptoms of head pain and vomiting. Although single radiotherapy has certain therapeutic effect, it is very harmful to patients.

matters needing attention

The diet of advanced lung cancer needs to pay attention to dietary taboos. Patients should choose some nutritious and easy to digest foods, such as sour plum soup, fruit juice, millet porridge, etc. don't eat too cold or overheated food, and don't eat spicy food. Lung cancer patients can eat more high protein food. If the family conditions are better, they can be injected with high protein. It should be noted that they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, but not too cold fruits.
