How to treat advanced lung cancer?

In the late stage of lung cancer, palliative surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, ablation and other methods can be used under the guidance of a doctor for better treatment.

1. Palliative surgery: After evaluation by surgeons, patients with advanced lung cancer can choose palliative surgery if they can perform partial tumor resection. Palliative surgery can remove most of the tumor, creating favorable conditions for other treatments, and radiotherapy or chemotherapy can also be performed after surgery.

2. Radiotherapy or chemotherapy: For patients with advanced lung cancer who cannot tolerate surgical treatment, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be performed according to the doctor's advice. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy use high-energy radiation to kill tumor cells to achieve the purpose of treatment. You can also follow the doctor's advice and use paclitaxel injection, gemcitabine hydrochloride injection and other drugs for chemotherapy, so that the chemotherapy drugs can reach the lesion through the venous blood and kill tumor cells.

3. Ablation: In addition, with the help of a doctor, advanced lung cancer can be treated through ablation, that is, tumor cells can be necrotic through high or low temperatures, which is suitable for older or weaker advanced lung cancer patients.

In the late stage of lung cancer, you should seek medical attention promptly and choose the appropriate treatment plan with the help of a doctor.
