My cousin is older. He got advanced lung cancer during physical examination this year. He has been receiving chemotherapy since that time. Chemotherapy has a lot of side effects on the body. After a period of chemotherapy, we will do some tests. The tests say that the white blood cells are relatively low.

How much does advanced lung cancer cost

First, the earlier the treatment of lung cancer, the lower the cost. The cost of chemotherapy for lung cancer must be determined by various factors according to the actual situation of patients. And chemotherapy is not calculated by once, but by a course of treatment, a course of treatment includes several cycles. The specific effect depends on the sensitivity of patients to chemotherapy and the degree of illness.

Second, it depends on which kind of lung cancer it is, and different treatment methods should be adopted. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy plus surgery are often used for small cell lung cancer, while surgery is the first choice for non-small cell lung cancer, followed by radiotherapy or chemotherapy. For example, a small number of stage I and II patients with small cell lung cancer can be treated by surgery, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. For non-small cell lung cancer, surgery is not allowed due to lung function or patient's body condition, or the tumor site or some stage III patients lose the opportunity of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be used first, and then surgery can be achieved.

Third, the cost of chemotherapy mainly depends on ordinary chemotherapy and precise chemotherapy. The former needs about 3000, while the latter needs more than 10000. Precise chemotherapy has less damage to human body and better therapeutic effect. Whether radiotherapy or chemotherapy combined with professional anti radiotherapy and chemotherapy Chinese medicine is better than radiotherapy and chemotherapy alone.
