Chemotherapy after lung cancer surgery

summary

There are many friends around my father who have the habit of smoking. One of them is very serious, smoking several packs of cigarettes almost every day. A few days ago, I heard that when I went to the hospital for examination, I found out that I had lung cancer. The doctor suggested that he be treated. Let's talk about chemotherapy after lung cancer surgery.

Chemotherapy after lung cancer surgery

First, chemotherapy is available 20 days after surgery. Lung cancer surgery is the first step. For patients with advanced lung cancer, chemotherapy is the next step, usually starting 3-4 weeks after surgery. The side effects of chemotherapy vary from person to person. Chemotherapy causes nausea, vomiting, alopecia, leucopenia, thrombocytopenia and so on, so patients should choose according to their actual situation.

Second: because patients with lung cancer after surgery generally have poor physique, they are not suitable for chemotherapy at this time. It is necessary to observe whether they are suitable for chemotherapy according to various indicators. Chemotherapy can generally be carried out after 2-4 weeks. However, tumor cells grow exponentially within one week after surgery. At the same time, tumor cells at this stage are most sensitive to chemotherapy drugs, and green chemotherapy drug elemene injection can be used In order to use immediately after surgery, because it has no toxic groups, so there will be no bone marrow suppression, leukopenia and other side effects.

Third: comprehensive treatment is used after operation to promote the recovery of patients. Chemotherapy is given once a week after operation, killing the cancer cells in the blood circulation once. Chemotherapy is given for a course of treatment after 3-4 weeks of operation, and at least one course of chemotherapy is given every quarter. Preoperative chemotherapy was the best choice. At the end of chemotherapy, if the hemogram is normal, anticancer drugs with good curative effect on pathological types of lung cancer and good blood-brain barrier permeability should be added.
