summary

Dad's addiction to smoking is quite serious. Recently, I saw that he kept coughing and had a lot of phlegm. He always said that his chest was stuffy and painful, and he couldn't breathe. Later, I took him to have an examination, and as a result, lung cancer was detected. Fortunately, it was in the early stage and was already under treatment. Now let's learn about the treatment of lung cancer.

Can lung cancer be treated well

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.

matters needing attention

We must know that the curative effect of lung cancer is still unsatisfactory. If we can get timely treatment, we can expect to get a radical cure. However, when most people make a definite diagnosis, the cancer focus is large and has invaded organs and tissues outside the lung, they can only carry out palliative treatment to improve symptoms, relieve pain and prolong life. Therefore, lung cancer should be found, diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.
