What is the difference between obstructive pneumonia and lung cancer

First of all, in imaging, the lung shadow of obstructive pneumonia will show non-solid inflammatory exudation, which is in the form of flakes and irregular shapes, and is generally distributed along the bronchi. Obstructive pneumonia and lung cancer are mainly differentiated from each other in terms of etiology, diagnosis, clinical manifestations, imaging manifestations and treatment. You can go to the hospital for examination to find out the pathogen causing obstructive pneumonia, and then treat it according to the pathogen to avoid aggravation of inflammation.

What targeted drugs should be taken for brain metastasis of lung cancer

Lung cancer brain metastasis, which has reached the late stage of lung cancer, has no special dietary taboos. Be careful to eat less greasy, spicy, and cold foods. In the late stage of lung cancer, due to the consumption of human nutrition by the tumor, patients have varying degrees of malnutrition. On the other hand, whether lung cancer brain metastasis requires targeted treatment depends on the pathological type of the patient's primary lesion and the molecular expression type of the metastatic lesion to select targeted drugs. Lung cancer also has a gene mutation ALK. The targeted drugs that can be used for ALK are alectinib, ceritinib, and crizotinib. Among them, crizotinib is the first generation of ALK targeted drugs, and alectinib and ceritinib are the second and third generation targeted drugs, which can be used for brain metastases of ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer after the progression of crizotinib.

How to treat liver metastasis from small cell lung cancer?

Squamous cell lung cancer is sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It is necessary to know whether it can be treated surgically. If surgery is not possible, conservative treatment can be used. Surgery and radiotherapy can be used in the early stage. Lung adenocarcinoma is not sensitive to radiotherapy. Surgery combined with Chinese medicine can be used to prevent recurrence and metastasis. When small cell lung cancer metastasizes to the liver, liver protection is necessary. The main purpose is to prevent further damage to liver function. At this time, it has reached the late stage, so radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be performed as soon as possible, and surgery cannot be performed. Different types and stages of lung cancer have different treatment methods. If you have any problems, go to a regular hospital for an examination and take timely measures.
