How to treat primary lung cancer

Primary lung cancer is a common lung cancer disease. This disease is very harmful and may even be life-threatening. After the disease occurs, it must be taken seriously and targeted treatments must be actively carried out. So what is the treatment for primary lung cancer?

1. Chemotherapy:

Chemotherapy is a common treatment for lung cancer. Different chemotherapy drugs and different chemotherapy regimens need to be selected according to the tissue type of lung cancer. Chemotherapy can not only kill tumor cells, but also damage normal cells in the human body. Therefore, chemotherapy needs to be carried out under the guidance of an oncologist. However, since chemotherapy can inhibit the bone marrow hematopoietic system and reduce white blood cells and platelets, physical changes need to be closely monitored during treatment.

2. Radiotherapy:

Radiation therapy can also be used to improve primary lung cancer disease. This treatment is very effective and can quickly control the progression of the disease and prevent it from getting worse. However, the side effects of radiation therapy are relatively strong, so you must carefully consider the pros and cons when undergoing this treatment.

3. Surgical treatment of lung cancer:

Surgical treatment is the first choice and main treatment method for lung cancer, and it is also the only method for treating primary lung cancer. The purpose of this treatment method is to completely remove the lesions of primary lung cancer and metastatic lymph nodes to achieve clinical cure. This method is suitable for patients with refractory complications such as pleural effusion and pericardial effusion. Generally, the postoperative effect is very significant, but this operation also has certain hazards, so comprehensive preparation should be made before the operation.

The above are the treatment methods for primary lung cancer. This lung cancer disease can cause great harm to the patient's body. Once discovered, relevant treatments should be actively carried out. In terms of treatment methods, different plans need to be selected according to the patient's physical condition and age. During the treatment process, it is necessary to strengthen physical care, pay attention to diet, and have regular checkups.
