Can early-stage lung cancer be cured?

1. Lung cancer can be cured in the early stages, usually with surgery. Removing the tumor through surgery can increase the cure rate of the disease.

2. Lung cancer is a malignant tumor that originates in the lungs, trachea and bronchi. The symptoms are not obvious in the early stages of the disease, and may cause irritating coughs and other manifestations. It generally does not metastasize to distant sites. In this case, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery can be considered. Early surgery can completely remove the tumor and reduce the probability of metastasis and recurrence. Most patients can be cured in the early stages.

3. If the surgical resection is incomplete and there are residual lesions, they can easily spread to other parts, causing the patient's condition to worsen. This situation is usually incurable. Radical radiotherapy or palliative radiotherapy can be used after the operation to control the development of the cancer and improve the quality of life to a certain extent.

4. During the recovery period, patients should go to the hospital for regular CT scans to observe changes in tumor morphology and size. At the same time, control your daily diet, reasonably supplement high-calorie and high-vitamin foods, and reduce spicy and irritating foods.
