What to do about lung cancer and lymph node metastasis?

Once a patient is diagnosed with lung cancer, they should receive timely treatment. The earlier the treatment, the better the effect. If treatment is delayed, once the disease develops to the late stage, cancer cells will spread and metastasize in the body, such as lymph node metastasis. Due to the severity of the disease and poor physical condition, it is recommended that patients with lung cancer and lymph node metastasis take comprehensive treatment.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Patients can take drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as peach kernel, safflower, and angelica. If there are symptoms of cough and sputum, platycodon and licorice can be selected. Chinese patent medicines can choose compound yew capsules and Kangai injection, which can enhance immune function and inhibit the replication of cancer cells.

Second, chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is one of the most common methods for treating lung cancer. The chemotherapy regimens chosen vary depending on the patient's condition, constitution, and tolerance. How to perform chemotherapy also needs to follow the doctor's advice.

Third, radiotherapy. Radiotherapy plays a very critical role in the treatment of lung cancer with lymph node metastasis. According to different treatment plans, it can be divided into palliative radiotherapy, adjuvant radiotherapy and new adjuvant radiotherapy.

Fourth, biological targeted therapy. The main function of biological targeted therapy is to interfere with cell growth, activate the corresponding cells of the immune system, inhibit tumor growth, and kill cancer cells.

Although the mortality rate of lung cancer is very high, as long as patients actively cooperate with doctors in time for treatment, they can prolong their survival time. In addition, no matter which treatment method patients use, they should make good adjustments in their lives during the treatment process. Do not smoke, breathe more fresh air, and eat more foods that are rich in vitamins and nourish the lungs.
