Effective treatment options for patients with lung cancer bone metastasis

Lung cancer is a common tumor of the respiratory tract with a high incidence in my country. As the disease progresses, it is easy for lung cancer to metastasize to the bones, which increases the difficulty of treatment and rehabilitation of patients. When lung cancer patients develop bone metastasis, they must choose appropriate treatment methods to effectively curb further deterioration of the disease.

1. Chemotherapy

Systemic chemotherapy can not only curb the development of primary lesions, but also control the development of bone metastasis and relieve pain. In particular, the combined chemotherapy regimen with high-dose cisplatin is more effective. Some patients found that bone metastases disappeared or even formed new bone cortexes when they reviewed X-rays. In addition to bone metastasis, lung cancer may also involve other organs and tissues. Systemic chemotherapy also has a therapeutic effect on other potential metastatic lesions.

2. Radiation therapy

Lung cancer patients can undergo high-dose, short-course radiotherapy after a period of chemotherapy, which can relieve cancer pain and pain caused by bone metastasis. Radiotherapy can be divided into several methods such as 60 cobalt irradiation, deep x-ray machine and linear accelerator, which have a good inhibitory effect on isolated bone metastases. ??

3. Radionuclide internal irradiation therapy

This therapy is a targeted treatment for lung cancer bone metastasis. Patients who cannot tolerate radiotherapy and have multiple bone metastases throughout the body can take radionuclide therapy. It has a certain protective effect on bones, can reduce bone destruction and dissolution caused by bone metastasis, and can eliminate or alleviate the severe pain caused by bone metastasis, while inhibiting the development of bone metastasis. Its disadvantage is that it causes bone marrow suppression reaction, so the patient's white blood cell changes need to be observed regularly.

4. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine is very effective in curbing the development of cancer and relieving cancer pain. Many Chinese medicines have the effects of softening and dispersing nodules, detoxifying and anti-cancer. They also have a good inhibitory effect on bone metastasis pain. As long as they are taken according to the doctor's instructions, they generally do not produce toxic side effects. They are a good auxiliary treatment method for various cancers.
