Can non-small cell lung cancer be cured

Compared with small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer is not so serious. We know that when doctors explain small cell lung cancer, people around them are terrified because small cell lung cancer means death soon. So for non-small cell lung cancer, is there any hope of saving it?

Surgical treatment is mainly suitable for the early treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, but it also has certain indications and contraindications. Non-small cell lung cancer is generally insensitive to chemotherapy after surgery, and radiotherapy has great side effects, which often make patients miserable. Therefore, the effect of using radiotherapy and chemotherapy alone is not ideal. If it is assisted by Chinese medicine treatment, it can reduce the toxic side effects.

Moreover, TCM treatment is suitable for every lung cancer patient, and auxiliary surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy can enhance the treatment effect. Therefore, in clinical practice, the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer tends to be TCM treatment.

So what are the common types of non-small cell lung cancer? What can we do when choosing for patients?

Treatment of non-small cell lung cancer

1. Surgical treatment of non-small cell lung cancer:

Surgical treatment of non-small cell lung cancer is the main treatment method for early non-small cell lung cancer. The chance of cure with early surgical resection is relatively high, so it can effectively prolong the patient's survival period. However, because surgical treatment has certain indications and contraindications, before the operation, we need to consider comprehensive factors such as the patient's condition, physical condition and tolerance. Patients who are suitable for surgical resection should undergo surgical treatment in a timely manner, and after the operation, we must pay attention to the patient's conditioning to help the patient recover as soon as possible. During the surgical treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, taking Chinese medicine can help enhance the effect of treatment.

2. Chemoradiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer:

Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can only control the symptoms of non-small cell lung cancer locally, but this often does not achieve the desired effect, and has great toxic side effects for patients. A considerable number of patients, especially elderly patients, simply cannot bear it. Therefore, Chinese medicine is often used clinically to help reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and enhance the treatment effect.

3. Treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with traditional Chinese medicine:

Chinese medicine has been clinically proven to be effective in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Chinese medicine treatment can significantly improve the adverse clinical symptoms of patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Chinese medicine is mainly based on the theory of "strengthening the body" and "treating both the symptoms and the root causes". Therefore, according to the patient's symptoms and manifestations, the development of the disease, combined with appropriate Chinese medicine dosage, comprehensive treatment can effectively improve the patient's symptoms, improve the patient's quality of life, and prolong the patient's survival.

4. Dietary considerations after treatment of non-small cell lung cancer:
