How to treat lung cancer after diagnosis

First, surgery is a common method for the treatment of lung cancer, and it is the first choice for patients. The purpose of surgery is to completely remove the primary lung tumor and local and mediastinal lymph nodes, and to preserve healthy lung tissue as much as possible, so as to improve the life quality of patients. Because the operation is more traumatic to the body, and can only remove the local visible lesions, we must carefully choose according to the patient's own situation. For those patients with poor physical and mental condition, heart, lung, liver and kidney dysfunction, and patients with distant metastasis, we should avoid surgery.

Second: radiotherapy is also a common treatment after the diagnosis of lung cancer, which is mostly used for adjuvant surgery, or as a palliative treatment for advanced patients, and has a positive effect on prolonging the survival of patients. Due to the damage of normal cells and tissues in the radiation area during radiotherapy, radiotherapy should be avoided for lung cancer patients with contraindications, such as respiratory insufficiency, wide range of lesions, cancerous cavity or huge tumor.

Third: as a traditional Chinese medicine, TCM treatment has a history of thousands of years, and has a unique effect on the treatment of diseases. Because the traditional Chinese medicine treatment has a strong overall concept, and it is safe and non-toxic side effects, therefore, the traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be applied to lung cancer patients in various periods, especially the patients who are old, weak, widely metastatic, and can not tolerate surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which has a positive effect on prolonging the survival period and improving the quality of life of patients.
