How is bronchial lung cancer usually treated surgically?

The appropriate surgical method for bronchial lung cancer should be selected based on the patient's condition. In the early stages, radical surgery and palliative surgery are often used. If necessary, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery can be used, and nursing work should be strengthened at the same time.

Early treatment of bronchogenic lung cancer is very important. In the early stage, radical surgery or palliative surgery can be used for treatment according to the condition. However, during the operation, we should strive for radical resection, so that the tumor can be completely removed, thereby reducing tumor metastasis and recurrence. If necessary, the patient should be given the final pathological TNM staging and guided for comprehensive treatment after surgery.

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique that has developed rapidly in recent years. It is mainly suitable for patients with stage I bronchogenic carcinoma and has certain advantages over standard thoracotomy. The surgery is less traumatic and causes less pain to the patient. Patients need to undergo regular CT scans after surgery to observe the morphology and size changes of the tumor, monitor the progression of the disease, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment.
