summary

Some time ago, my grandfather often felt chest pain. Sometimes it was a burst of pain, sometimes it lasted for a long time, and he always coughed, especially when he went to bed at night. Sometimes he coughed up blood. In addition, I always feel dizzy and nauseous. I went to the hospital and found out that I had lung cancer. For patients with this disease should be treated as soon as possible, I will tell you about the effect of traditional Chinese medicine on lung cancer.

Effect of traditional Chinese medicine on lung cancer

First of all: in the late stage of lung cancer, surgery is not suitable for treatment. Chemotherapy is the main treatment for lung cancer, and more than 90% of lung cancer need chemotherapy. The curative effect of chemotherapy on small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is positive in both early and late stage, even about 1% of early SCLC is cured by chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is also the main treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, chemotherapy is divided into therapeutic chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy.

Secondly, radiotherapy is the best for small cell lung cancer, and adenocarcinoma is the worst. At the same time, it should be supplemented by drug treatment. Adenocarcinoma is not sensitive to radiation, and easy to blood metastasis, so it will be less simple radiotherapy. Radiotherapy is only a local treatment, often combined with chemotherapy. The combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy can take concurrent chemoradiotherapy or alternate chemoradiotherapy depending on the patient's condition.

Finally: surgical treatment is the first choice and the most important treatment for lung cancer, and it is also the only treatment that can cure lung cancer. The purpose of surgical treatment of lung cancer is to completely remove the primary lesion and metastatic lymph nodes of lung cancer. To achieve clinical cure, resection of the vast majority of the tumor, to create favorable conditions for other treatment, that is, tumor reduction surgery, which is only suitable for a small number of patients.

Generally, you don't limit the amount of food to ensure good nutrition and create good conditions for surgery. Patients should maintain a good attitude, actively face the reality, and cooperate with doctors for treatment.
