How to treat lung cancer

Treatment 1: operation: resection of localized tumor. It is suitable for the patients without metastasis in early stage. The advantage is that it can remove the primary focus of the cancer as quickly as possible, and has a good effect on the early stage of lung cancer. However, surgery can only remove visible tumors, but can not eliminate scattered and invisible cancer cells, and can not eradicate the cause of disease. It is not suitable for advanced and elderly patients.

Treatment 2: chemotherapy: the treatment of killing cancer cells with chemical drugs. It is characterized by strong drug power, can kill cancer cells, quick effect; but due to poor selectivity, it can kill cancer cells and normal cells at the same time, with great side effects. This method is suitable for patients with early lung cancer and good constitution. For the side effects caused by treatment, other drugs should be used for correction or adjuvant treatment.

Treatment 3: radiotherapy: it is the treatment of killing local cancer cells with radiation. It is suitable for local tumor patients; this method has a good effect on early cancer; the disadvantage is that it has great side effects and can not clear the root of the disease.
