Which stage does 9mm lung cancer belong to

Lung cancer 9mm belongs to stage I. Since the tumor is small, it generally does not invade surrounding tissues.

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor that originates from the bronchial mucosa or glands of the lungs. Its main clinical symptoms include cough, sputum or hemoptysis, chest pain, etc.

Lung cancer is generally divided into four stages according to the size of the tumor and whether it has metastasized. Stage I tumors are less than 2cm, stage II tumors are less than 5cm, stage III tumors are larger than 5-7cm, and stage IV tumors are larger than 7cm, which may be accompanied by distant metastases, such as multiple metastases to the liver, lungs, and brain. Generally speaking, there will be many metastases. The early stage of stage I is called the early stage, and the stages III and IV are called the late stage. Lung cancer 9 mm is generally considered stage I.

Stage I lung cancer can usually be cured by surgical resection. Chemotherapy can be combined after surgery, and commonly used drugs include gemcitabine and cisplatin. Postoperative care is also required to avoid infection and monitor the patient's vital signs, such as body temperature, blood pressure, pulse, etc.

Lung cancer patients should get more rest, maintain proper physical exercise, quit smoking and drinking, adjust their eating habits, and eat more fruits, vegetables and high-protein foods.
