How to treat lung adenocarcinoma abroad

summary

Lung adenocarcinoma is a kind of lung cancer, which belongs to non-small cell carcinoma. Different from squamous cell lung cancer, lung adenocarcinoma is more likely to occur in women and non-smokers. It is originated from the bronchial mucosa epithelium, but also a small number of mucous glands originated from the large bronchus. The age of onset is younger and more common in women. Most adenocarcinoma originated from the smaller bronchus, which is peripheral lung cancer. In the early stage, there are no obvious clinical symptoms, which are often found in chest X-ray examination. The tumor is round or oval in shape and grows slowly, but sometimes hematogenous metastasis occurs in the early stage and lymphatic metastasis occurs later.

How to treat lung adenocarcinoma abroad

First: chemotherapy is the main treatment for lung cancer, 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.

Second, 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.

Third: 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.
