What to do if lung cancer recurs

Treatment methods for lung cancer recurrence Many lung cancer patients experience recurrence after treatment, which has a serious impact on the patient's early recovery and may even threaten the patient's life safety. So how to treat lung cancer recurrence? The following lung cancer experts will introduce the treatment methods for lung cancer recurrence, hoping to help everyone.

1. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine after recurrence of lung cancer

With the in-depth study of cancer, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine to treat cancer has become inevitable. Applying Chinese medicine to the treatment of recurrent lung cancer can inhibit tumors on the one hand, and combine with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy to have a synergistic effect. On the other hand, Chinese medicine can regulate the body's immune function, enhance resistance to lung cancer, and reduce the toxic side effects of Western medicine treatment.

Moreover, Chinese medicine treatment for lung cancer recurrence can not only have a good effect alone, but also has a good effect of reducing toxicity and increasing efficacy when combined with surgical treatment and radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It is also very helpful for the patients themselves, relieving their pain and not only prolonging their survival. In the research of lung cancer Chinese medicine, ginsenoside Rh2 has made outstanding contributions.

2. Surgical treatment after recurrence of lung cancer

The treatment of lung cancer recurrence is similar to that of primary lung cancer, with surgery as the preferred method. However, most patients with lung cancer recurrence are accompanied by metastasis of lesions, and the chance of complete resection by surgery is low. If the patient's physical condition allows, local surgery can be performed first, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy to eliminate residual lesions, and combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment to improve immunity, reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and enhance the therapeutic effect. Traditional Chinese medicines commonly used for surgical treatment of lung cancer recurrence include: "Jinxing" capsules (recommended by doctors with special allowances from the State Council), Kangcan Pingwan, etc.

3. Chemoradiotherapy after recurrence of lung cancer

Lung cancer patients with multiple metastases and large tumors who are not suitable for secondary surgery cannot tolerate surgery after recurrence. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be used to control local symptoms, but due to its large toxic side effects, it is often combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment in clinical practice to improve the efficacy. It is worth mentioning that Jinxiong Capsules can significantly enhance the efficacy and reduce toxicity when combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which can improve the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy while inhibiting the side effects and complications caused by drugs.

I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the treatment methods after lung cancer relapse. Experts remind that when treating lung cancer relapse, you must choose your own treatment method and follow the doctor's advice. I wish you a speedy recovery!
