summary

My grandmother suffered from peripheral lung cancer. A tumor about 30 * 40cm in size can be seen in the upper lobe of her left lung. The doctor said it should be in the advanced stage. My grandmother just coughed, but she couldn't breathe, and she didn't have hemoptysis symptoms. She went to an expert doctor for treatment, and her condition was under control. How about the targeted treatment of lung cancer? Do you know? Today, let me learn about targeted therapy for lung cancer.

Targeted therapy for lung cancer

First, one of the conventional treatments for lung cancer is surgical treatment. The purpose of surgical treatment is to completely remove the primary lung cancer focus and local lymph tissue, and to retain healthy lung tissue as much as possible

Second, chemotherapy is one of the conventional treatments for lung cancer. Anticancer drugs can inhibit the growth and reproduction of cancer cells and kill cancer cells. Clinically, they can be used alone in patients with advanced lung cancer for palliative treatment to relieve symptoms. In most cases, it is combined with surgery and radiotherapy to prevent cancer metastasis and recurrence and improve the long-term survival rate.

Third: the conventional treatment of lung cancer is radiotherapy, radiotherapy is a method of local killing cancer lesions, in all types of lung cancer, undifferentiated small cell carcinoma is the most sensitive to radiotherapy, followed by squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma is the least sensitive.

Warm tips: the patient is in the slope position with unlimited angle (the best angle is 5-65). The implementer placed two palms at the midline of the 7th to 9th rib axillary under the patient's armpit, separated the five fingers forward and downward, close to the chest wall, and the squeezing force was just able to resist the expansion of the chest when the patient coughed. Due to the special nursing for 4 hours, the patient was allowed to cough actively and remove sputum regularly under the condition of chest protection. The oxygen saturation of the patient was significantly improved, the sputum sounds in the airway were significantly reduced, the lung breathing sounds were clear, and the respiratory indexes were restored and maintained normal. No inflammatory shadow was found on the chest film.
