How to treat lung cancer better

First: chemotherapy is a kind of treatment that uses chemical drugs to kill tumor cells, inhibit the growth and reproduction of tumor cells and promote the differentiation of tumor cells. It is a systemic treatment method, which has therapeutic effect on primary tumor, metastatic tumor and subclinical metastatic tumor.

Second, radiotherapy uses high-dose radiation produced by special equipment to irradiate cancerous tumors, kill or destroy cancer cells, and inhibit their growth, reproduction and diffusion. Although some normal cells will also be damaged, most of them will recover. Different from chemotherapy, radiotherapy can only affect the tumor and its surrounding parts, not the whole body.

Third: the treatment of lung cancer surgery is mostly radical resection, that is, the primary cancer and its metastatic lymph nodes are completely removed, and the lymph nodes are completely removed and the bronchial stump is free of residual cancer cells under the microscope. For patients with early lung cancer who are old and have poor heart and lung function, further general examination should be done.
