What are the methods of treating lung cancer

summary

Yesterday, when I went to the hospital to see my aunt, I learned that my aunt suffered from lung cancer, because my aunt's condition was found in time, so it was early. Doctors told us that there are many ways to treat lung cancer, the key depends on which treatment is suitable for patients. Now let me tell you about the treatment of lung cancer.

What are the methods of treating lung cancer

Method 1: the purpose of surgical treatment is to completely remove the primary lung cancer focus and local lymphoid tissue, and keep the healthy lung tissue as much as possible. For all types of lung cancer, if the focus is small, the primary tumor is confined in the bronchus, and distant metastasis has not occurred, the patient's general condition is good, and the five-year survival rate after operation can reach 50%. But most of the late stage patients, such as extensive hilar, mediastinal lymph node metastasis, pleural or pericardial metastasis, extrathoracic lymph node metastasis, or distant organ metastasis, and heart, lung, liver, kidney dysfunction, surgical treatment is not appropriate. If it is early patients, then you can choose surgical treatment, because the effect is faster, the effect is better.

Method 2: anticancer drugs can inhibit the growth and proliferation of cancer cells and kill cancer cells. Clinically, they can be used alone in the palliative treatment of patients with advanced lung cancer 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. In all types of lung cancer, undifferentiated small cell carcinoma is the most sensitive to anticancer drugs, followed by squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. At present, most of the chemotherapy is intermittently combined with a variety of drugs, combined with the principle of cell dynamics, to play the role of drug coordination, the treatment effect is the best. There are a lot of people choose drug treatment, drug treatment can only play an auxiliary role.

Method 3: radiotherapy is a method of local killing cancer focus. 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. Most cases of lung cancer have a wide range of lesions and distant metastasis when they are definitely diagnosed. Those who are not suitable for surgical treatment should consider radiotherapy or anticancer drugs to improve symptoms and prolong life. The 3-year and 5-year survival rates of lung cancer patients who were unwilling to accept surgery were 10% and 3% respectively. Single radiotherapy treatment effect will be better, but the harm to patients is very big.

matters needing attention

Physical exercise can increase vital capacity, enhance their own immunity, improve the health level of the body. Research has confirmed that those who regularly take part in physical exercise are much less likely to develop lung cancer than ordinary people. Once a day for 20 minutes of physical exercise, can make people spirit, immunity, reduce the risk of cancer. In patients for nutrition consumption is very large, in the process of treatment, need to pay attention to is, must not eat heavy taste food, can eat some fresh fruits and vegetables. Try to eat more easily digestible food.
