Can hospital treat advanced lung cancer

summary

There is a relative in our hometown who felt sick very early, but he has been delaying to go to the hospital for examination. He went to the hospital when he really couldn't do it. The result is advanced lung cancer. Let's talk about whether there is a hospital that can treat late lung cancer.

Can hospital treat advanced lung cancer

First, according to the different purposes of treatment, it can be divided into radical treatment, palliative treatment, preoperative neoadjuvant radiotherapy, postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and intracavitary radiotherapy. 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.

Second: chemotherapy is the main treatment of lung cancer, more than 90% of lung cancer need chemotherapy. The curative effect of chemotherapy on small cell lung cancer is positive in both early and late stage, and even about 1% of early small cell lung cancer is cured by chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is also the main treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. The tumor remission rate of chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer is 40% - 50%.

Thirdly, radiotherapy is the best for small cell lung cancer, followed by squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. The radiation field of lung cancer should include the mediastinum of primary tumor and lymph node metastasis. At the same time, it should be supplemented by drug treatment. Squamous cell carcinoma has moderate sensitivity to radiation, the lesions are mainly local invasion, metastasis is relatively slow, so radical treatment is often used. Adenocarcinoma is not sensitive to radiation and easy to metastasize, so radiotherapy alone is rarely used.
