How to treat lung cancer in life

Among the many lung diseases, lung cancer is one of the more common ones. Finding the right treatment to cure lung cancer is also what many lung cancer patients have always desired. Now, let's learn more about lung cancer from the following article.

1. Preventive whole-brain irradiation: At least 33% of all lung cancer patients have brain metastases. Preventive whole-brain irradiation is used in radiotherapy for lung cancer. Currently, it is not recommended to perform PCI radiotherapy indiscriminately, because although PCI can effectively reduce the incidence of metastasis, it cannot prolong survival. PCI will cause brain radiation damage. If brain metastasis occurs again after PCI treatment of lung cancer, it is inconvenient to perform radiotherapy and the chemotherapy effect is also very poor. Therefore, this is one of the treatment methods for lung cancer.

2. Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy: This treatment method for lung cancer uses precise delineation of the tumor target volume (PTV) that needs to be irradiated, accurate measurement of the radiation dose, and effective fixation devices to greatly reduce unnecessary irradiation of normal lung tissue and effectively treat lung cancer.

The above is a description of the treatment of lung cancer. I hope it will help control the condition of lung cancer and cure it as soon as possible. If you have other questions about lung cancer, you can contact our online experts to answer your questions.
