Can advanced lung cancer be cured?

1. The possibility of curing advanced lung cancer is relatively low, and it is usually not completely cured. However, the growth of cancer cells can be treated with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy according to their actual situation to help improve the quality of life.

2. Lung cancer is a common clinical malignancy. Most patients will experience chest tightness, chest pain, asthma, hoarseness and other symptoms in the late stage. At the same time, cancer cells will also undergo many metastases, including bone metastasis, liver metastasis, intracranial metastasis, etc., which indicates that the tumor load is relatively large and it is difficult to completely cure clinically.

3. Generally speaking, early stage lung cancer can be cured by surgery, but it cannot be done in the late stage. At this time, there are a large number of lung cancer cells in the body, and chemotherapy, radiotherapy or targeted therapy are needed to kill some lung cancer tissue cells, but not completely. The remaining lung cancer cells in the body will continue to grow and spread, thus endangering the patient's life.

4. In order to effectively improve the cure rate of lung cancer, regular physical examinations are recommended, especially for people at high risk of lung cancer. Early lung cancer can be discovered during regular physical examinations and treatment can be received as soon as possible to achieve better prognosis.
