Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers. Everyone is terrified when it comes to cancer. What should we do if we are unfortunately diagnosed with lung cancer? In fact, the treatment of lung cancer is also very important. As long as we cooperate with the treatment, the symptoms can be alleviated. So what are the methods for treating lung cancer?

Surgical resection is the most important treatment for lung cancer. After surgery for early-stage lung cancer, about 70% of patients can achieve long-term survival. Due to the hidden symptoms of early-stage lung cancer, only about 20% of early-stage patients can receive surgical treatment when diagnosed. Lung cancer patients are not suitable for surgery if they have metastases, and patients who are elderly, have poor physical fitness, or have poor heart and lung function should also be cautious when choosing surgical treatment.

Radiotherapy is also a method of treating lung cancer. Its characteristic is that it uses various energy rays and irradiation methods to irradiate cancer to achieve the purpose of inhibiting and killing cancer cells. It is a relatively effective method for treating local cancer. If there is lung cancer metastasis in both lungs, pleura or the whole body, it is not suitable for radiotherapy. Patients with poor physical fitness and older age are also not suitable for radiotherapy.

Chemotherapy is a method of treating lung cancer by using chemical drugs to kill tumor cells. While chemical drugs kill tumor cells, normal cells will also be greatly damaged, which can cause side effects such as hair loss, nausea and vomiting. Chemotherapy is definitely effective for small cell lung cancer. According to the biological characteristics of small cell lung cancer, chemotherapy should be the first choice.
