What to do if you have epilepsy after lung cancer brain metastasis?

After lung cancer metastasizes to the brain, epilepsy can generally be treated through drug therapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, etc.

1. Drug treatment:

After lung cancer metastasizes to the brain, anti-epileptic drugs can be used as prescribed by the doctor after an epileptic attack. When the epileptic attack is mild, levetiracetam tablets, topiramate tablets and other drugs can be used as prescribed by the doctor. For severe epileptic attacks, sodium valproate sustained-release tablets, compound phenobarbital sodium bromide tablets and other drugs can be used as prescribed by the doctor.

2. Radiotherapy:

If there is no relief after drug treatment, you can use CyberKnife radiotherapy according to the doctor's advice. CyberKnife treatment is short-term and can effectively control the progression of the patient's disease and relieve the patient's symptoms.

3. Targeted therapy:

If drug treatment cannot alleviate the condition, you can also use some targeted drugs such as gefitinib tablets and erlotinib hydrochloride tablets for treatment according to the doctor's guidance. Targeted drugs are a type of drug that can effectively kill malignant cells in the body that are invisible to the naked eye, and have little side effects on benign cells. We must observe our own conditions more.
