Things to note for lung cancer patients after surgical treatment

Lung cancer is the most common primary lung malignancy. Most lung cancers occur in the epithelium of the bronchial mucosa, also known as bronchial lung cancer. Lung cancer patients should pay more attention to their diet after surgery to prevent recurrence of the disease.

2. Patients should eat more foods containing vitamin A and vitamin C, fresh vegetables and fruits. Eat more foods that help inhibit the formation of cancer cells, such as soft-shelled turtle, walnut, mushroom, black fungus, asparagus, red dates, garlic, etc., to enhance the body's immunity and effectively block the formation of cancer cells.

3. Patients should choose different targeted medicines according to their own recovery conditions, such as cough suppressants, fever reducers, hemostatics, gas-relieving drugs, chest relaxants, and analgesics, in order to reduce postoperative pain, enhance confidence after treatment, and see hope.

4. Patients should not consume too much fat, and the intake should be controlled below 30% of the total calorie intake, and the daily intake of animal and plant fat should be 50g to 80g.
