How many treatments are there for lung cancer?

Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor, and its mortality rate ranks first among cancer causes of death. Therefore, patients will pay special attention to the treatment methods of lung cancer. Let the experts introduce to us in detail how many methods there are for treating lung cancer .

Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy can relieve symptoms in 70% of patients with advanced lung cancer. External radiotherapy with different doses and fractions can relieve local symptoms of primary or metastatic lesions.

Chemotherapy: The median survival of untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer is 4-6 months, and few patients can survive for more than 1 year. After the application of platinum regimen, the 1-year survival rate can be increased by about 19%. The use of taxanes, norvinblastine, gemcitabine and other drugs can further improve the patient's survival rate, which is also the treatment of lung cancer.

TCM meridian tumor suppression therapy : TCM emphasizes the principle of syndrome differentiation and overall regulation in the treatment of tumors. Summarizing the experience of TCM in treating lung cancer for many years and the treatment results reported in the literature, TCM meridian tumor suppression therapy has unique advantages in reducing the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, increasing the body's tolerance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, improving the quality of life, and prolonging life. Therefore, TCM meridian tumor suppression therapy for the treatment of lung cancer should be started as early as possible.

Pain relief and psychological treatment: Pain is one of the unbearable sufferings of patients with advanced lung cancer. The pain caused by lung cancer can be relieved by drugs and radiotherapy. Actively treating lung cancer symptomatically and caring about the patient's emotional or nursing needs are also very important for improving the patient's quality of life.
