summary

My second uncle likes smoking very much. He has been smoking for ten years. The most unfortunate thing happened to him. He was diagnosed with lung cancer. The treatment of this disease is related to his condition. Let's take a look at the effect of lung cancer radiotherapy.

Is lung cancer radiotherapy effective

First of all: lung cancer patients are divided into small cell lung cancer patients and non-small cell lung cancer patients. Radiotherapy is more appropriate for non-small cell lung cancer patients who are not suitable for surgery or are unwilling to accept surgical treatment, but the effect of treatment is not as good as surgical resection. The key is to treat according to their own conditions.

Secondly, some of the patients who were transferred from surgery to radiotherapy department had poor general conditions, especially poor lung function, and were prone to radiation pneumonia; moreover, there were differences in the staging after surgery and before surgery, and the cancer cells of some patients with lung cancer increased.

Finally: radiotherapy is one of the important treatment methods for locally advanced lung cancer which can not be resected surgically, but the survival rate of radiotherapy alone is low. There is also lung cancer patients with pleural effusion is a common complication, for small cell lung cancer with pleural effusion, often through radiotherapy, get obvious improvement. The advantage of radiotherapy for lung cancer pleural effusion is that it not only treats pleural effusion, but also primary and subclinical foci.
