How to choose the combination of Chinese and Western medicine to treat lung cancer

In recent years, the incidence of lung cancer in my country has continued to rise. Lung cancer has ranked first among all cancers and is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Therefore, it has become an urgent task to actively take effective prevention and treatment measures.

At present, the main western medicine treatments for lung cancer are as follows: 1. Surgical treatment; 2. Radiotherapy; 3. Chemotherapy; 4. Interventional therapy; 5. Immunotherapy; 6. Molecular targeted therapy; 7. Gene therapy. Surgery is the main treatment for stage I and II; palliative treatment is used for stage III and IV, but the main problems are large toxic and side effects, poor quality of life, and no significant extension of survival rate, etc., and the prognosis is poor. At the same time, we must "pay attention to strengthening the body and improving the quality of life." The characteristics of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment have a good effect on improving the clinical symptoms of patients, helping patients build confidence in fighting the disease, thereby improving their ability to resist the disease. Clinically, non-drug therapy and drug therapy are used to pay attention to strengthening the body and protecting the spleen and stomach to improve the quality of life.

Modern medicine believes that the occurrence, development, invasion and metastasis of lung cancer is a complex process of multi-stage differentiation, multi-gene mutation, and multi-step gradual change. Its efficacy is directly related to the stage, but only a few lung cancer patients can be detected in the early stage. Therefore, we must first pay attention to high-risk groups, be alert to symptoms and signs, conduct necessary examinations in a timely manner, pay attention to early symptoms and signs, and attach importance to screening. Secondly, we must "prevent changes after the disease is cured and prevent recurrence after recovery." Traditional Chinese medicine can alleviate symptoms, stabilize lesions, and prolong survival time in the treatment of lung cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy can help improve the efficacy, enable patients to survive with tumors, and prolong survival time. After chemotherapy, we will use strengthening the body and eliminating evil to increase the body's anti-cancer ability, suppress and kill possible cancer toxins, and prevent influx and spread, so as to control tumor growth, reduce metastasis rate, and prolong survival time.
