Under what circumstances can lung cancer not be treated surgically?

When lung cancer develops into advanced metastatic lung cancer, surgery cannot be performed. Lung cancer patients cannot undergo surgery for severe visceral dysfunction. When the tumor of a lung cancer patient is close to the heart and large blood vessels, surgery cannot be performed.

1. Advanced metastatic lung cancer:

If the lung cancer is in the late stage of metastatic lung cancer, the cancer cells have spread to a large area and have metastasized to the liver, bones, brain or other parts. At this time, surgical treatment cannot be performed and the cancer may recur rapidly after surgery. Therefore, in this case, surgical treatment cannot be performed.

2. Severe visceral dysfunction:

When lung cancer patients are accompanied by severe visceral dysfunction, their bodies are relatively weak and they cannot tolerate surgery, so they cannot receive surgical treatment. Generally speaking, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other methods can prolong the patient's life.

3. The tumor is located in the heart and large blood vessels:

If the lung cancer tumor is located near the heart's large blood vessels, surgery cannot be performed. In some lung cancer patients, the tumor tissue surrounds the heart's large blood vessels such as the aorta and pulmonary artery trunk, or is close to the large blood vessels. If surgery is performed, it may cause damage to the large blood vessels.

If you suffer from lung cancer, you need to go to the hospital in time and receive targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
