How to treat lung metastasis of breast cancer

How is breast cancer lung metastasis treated?

Breast cancer lung metastasis can generally be treated with chemotherapy and surgery.

Breast cancer is a phenomenon in which breast epithelial cells proliferate uncontrollably under the influence of various carcinogenic factors. Early stage diseases often present with symptoms such as breast lumps, nipple discharge, and enlarged axillary lymph nodes. Late stage diseases can be caused by metastasis of cancer cells such as lung metastasis, bone marrow metastasis, and liver metastasis. At this time, timely radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgical treatment are generally required.

1. Radiotherapy: It is a local treatment that kills cancer cells through radiation. It is often used in combination with surgery or chemotherapy to reduce tumor metastasis and recurrence and improve patient survival rate.

2. Chemotherapy: The purpose is to kill small lesions, reduce the recurrence of cancer metastasis, and improve the patient's survival rate. Commonly used drugs include levofloxacin, paclitaxel, etc.

3. Surgical treatment: generally refers to the commonly used treatment options for breast cancer patients. Common surgeries include breast-conserving surgery, total mastectomy, modified radical mastectomy, etc.

In addition to the above treatments, the patient's life can also be prolonged through auxiliary treatments of traditional Chinese medicine, psychotherapy, etc. When the patient feels unwell, please seek medical attention in time.
