How to treat lung cancer with early symptoms

For patients who are unwilling to undergo surgery or have severe organ dysfunction such as heart, liver, and kidneys and cannot undergo surgical treatment, radical radiotherapy should be considered to control lung cancer and relieve the patient's early symptoms. If radical surgery and hilar lymph node cleaning are performed and there is no metastasis, an observation strategy can be adopted after surgery without radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy. Early symptoms of lung cancer may include cough, sputum, sputum, blood, chest pain, chest tightness, and suffocation.

Can lung cancer be detected by CT scan?

Most lung cancers are initially diagnosed through enhanced chest CT scans, which can generally identify lymph node metastases or distant metastases within the scanning range. However, imaging diagnosis is a secondary diagnosis. Before starting treatment, lung puncture or bronchoscopy is also performed to clarify the cytological or pathological diagnosis and genetic testing, and then the clinical stage is clarified, and then a corresponding comprehensive treatment plan is formulated. If these ground glass nodules are found to be larger or more solid, you can consult a surgeon to decide whether immediate surgical resection is needed to avoid delaying the detection and diagnosis of early lung cancer. The diagnosis of lung cancer does not rely on a single examination method, but requires a combination of multiple methods.

How to choose the incision for lung cancer surgery?

When choosing an incision for lung cancer surgery, many factors need to be considered, among which the more critical ones are the location of the cancer and the size of the lesion tissue. At the same time, pay attention to your personal physique and make a decision based on the selected surgical method. The incision for lung cancer surgery should be comprehensively judged based on the location and size of the tumor. There are usually the following: Traditional open surgery mainly follows the principle of 5 up and 6 down. If it is the upper lung, the fifth rib can be selected as the incision, and the sixth rib can be selected as the incision for the lower lung. Thoracoscopic incisions can be single-hole incisions or multi-hole incisions. The specific surgical incision requires a personalized treatment plan based on the specific situation to achieve the best surgical treatment effect.
