Treatment principles of experts at the best hospital for lung cancer

As the saying goes, a cigarette after a meal is better than a living god, but do you know that smoking is actually very harmful to our body, especially to our lungs? Many young people now have a bad habit, that is, smoking. We all know that smoking is harmful to health and will bring various extended diseases to the body. Various lung diseases are all around us. Lung cancer is one of the common lung tumor diseases. First, let us understand some of the treatment principles for lung cancer.

The treatment of lung cancer can be divided into treatment principles

1. For cases where the primary cancer is still confined to the lungs and has not yet metastasized to distant sites, surgical treatment is the main treatment option. Postoperatively, other therapies may be used as a supplement based on the findings of pathological sections.

2. The scope of surgical resection should be determined according to the patient's specific circumstances, that is, all cancerous tissue must be removed while preserving lung function as much as possible.

3. For patients in the advanced stage whose disease has lost the chance of radical surgery, if the disease is before stage IIIb, we can still try to remove the tumor and clear the lymph nodes in the area, and good results are expected.

4. Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy is a method of locally killing cancer sources. Among all types of lung cancer, undifferentiated small cell carcinoma is the most sensitive, followed by squamous cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma is even less sensitive. It is currently commonly used for patients with extensive lesions, distant metastasis, or poor systemic condition who are not suitable for surgical treatment to improve symptoms and prolong life. Radiotherapy can also be used in combination with surgical treatment. According to the location and range of the cancer source, preoperative radiotherapy can increase the surgical resection rate for cases with greater surgical difficulty. If undifferentiated small cell carcinoma is suitable for surgical resection, preoperative radiotherapy can improve the efficacy. There are different opinions on the effect of preoperative radiotherapy on the efficacy of other types of lung cancer, so it is not suitable for routine use.

5. Application of anticancer drugs: Among various types of lung cancer, undifferentiated small cell lung cancer is the most sensitive and has the best efficacy, followed by squamous cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma has the lowest sensitivity. In recent years, several drugs that act on different cell cycles have been used in combination. Preoperative bronchial artery intubation with anticancer perfusion therapy can also reduce the cancer source and increase the resection rate.

6. Other Chinese and Western medicines can play an auxiliary therapeutic role.

The treatment of lung cancer is very critical. As long as we can treat it in time in the early stage of lung cancer, we can effectively control the disease. Through the simple treatment principles introduced above, we can help everyone to do a good job of prevention in daily life. In daily life, we should actively exercise, improve our own resistance, quit smoking, and eat foods that help clear the lungs, which will help prevent the occurrence of lung cancer.
