How much does it cost to treat lung cancer

The specific treatment cost of lung cancer can be determined according to the treatment method. Lung cancer patients need to go to the hospital for surgical resection, and cooperate with subsequent radiotherapy and chemotherapy for adjuvant treatment, which can improve the patient's quality of life and prolong life. The treatment method of lung cancer is generally based on surgical resection. The degree of surgical resection should generally be determined according to the specific distribution and spread of tumor cells. The cost of surgery is generally around 20,000, and other costs depend on whether adjuvant chemotherapy is needed. Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor. At present, the incidence of lung cancer ranks first among all malignant tumors.

Early cure rate of lung cancer

Lung cancer cannot be cured, but it can only be treated to maintain the patient's life. Early stage can be treated with surgery, and the survival time of more than 5 years is as high as 50%. Patients after surgical resection do not need chemotherapy, but some residual cancer cells will inevitably remain in the body and may recur after a few years or ten years. As for lung cancer, according to TNM lung cancer can be divided into stage lV, that is, all early stage lung cancer, and stage l lung cancer is divided into stage la and stage lb.

How is non-small cell lung cancer treated?

Radiotherapy is one of the main treatments for non-small cell lung cancer. Radical radiotherapy can be used for early-stage tumors, among which stereotactic radiotherapy is more effective. Middle and late-stage tumors generally require radiotherapy as the main local treatment. Radiotherapy plans for metastatic lesions of non-small cell lung cancer can also be formulated based on the location of the lung cancer tumor and the development, metastasis and installment of the disease. In addition to radiotherapy for lung tumors, radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer also requires radiotherapy for mediastinal regional lymph nodes.
