Can Chinese medicine cure lung cancer

summary

Peripheral lung cancer, also known as lung field type, refers to the lung cancer that occurs from the bronchi below the lung segment to the bronchioles, among which adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are more common. Because the clinical symptoms of peripheral lung cancer appear late, X-ray examination is an important means for early diagnosis of the disease. Can Chinese medicine cure lung cancer? Do you know anything about this? Now let's talk about whether traditional Chinese medicine can cure lung cancer.

Method 1: palliative chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer, the median survival time of untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer is 4-6 months, and a few patients can survive more than 1 year. The 1-year survival rate can be improved by 19% after platinum regimen. The application of taxanes, norepinephrine, gemcitabine and other drugs can further improve the survival rate of patients.

Method 2: palliative radiotherapy for advanced lung cancer can reduce the symptoms of 70% of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, and external radiotherapy with different doses and fractions can reduce the local symptoms of primary or metastatic lesions.

Method 3: pain relief and psychotherapy in advanced stage of lung cancer is one of the intolerable pain of patients with advanced lung cancer. The pain caused by non-small cell lung cancer can be alleviated by drugs and radiotherapy. Active symptomatic treatment and caring for patients' emotional or nursing needs are also very important to improve patients' quality of life.

For early lung cancer, X-ray chest film has a high rate of missed diagnosis, because the lung tissue overlaps with mediastinum, heart and diaphragm. In contrast, low-dose spiral CT can detect the missed lesions in anatomic dead angle or chest X-ray examination due to overlapping tissue structure through high-speed, continuous data acquisition and cross-sectional tomography, which significantly improves the detection ability of small pulmonary nodules and has great significance for early detection of lung cancer. Through low-dose spiral CT examination, the detection rate of small lung cancer less than 1 cm in diameter can reach more than 80%.
