At what stage of lung cancer can minimally invasive surgery be performed

Generally speaking, stage I lung cancer can be treated with minimally invasive surgery. Specific treatment measures should be taken based on the patient's individual situation and under the doctor's advice.

Lung cancer refers to a malignant tumor originating from the bronchial mucosa of the lungs. It may be related to long-term exposure to harmful substances, family inheritance, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other factors, and is prone to cause symptoms such as chronic cough, shortness of breath, dull or hidden chest pain. Usually, the disease can be divided into 4 stages, including stage I, stage II, stage III, and stage IV. When lung cancer is in stage I, the lesion is relatively small, and there is no metastasis of cancer cells. At this time, you can go to the hospital for treatment through minimally invasive surgery, which will cause less trauma. However, if the lesion is relatively large, minimally invasive surgery is not recommended because the field of view of this operation is not wide enough, which may lead to incomplete removal of the lesion and inability to cure the disease.

Patients should pay attention to a reasonable diet in their daily life. They can eat protein-rich foods appropriately, such as eggs, milk, fish, etc., which are beneficial to supplement the nutrients needed by the human body. At the same time, they should also pay attention to relaxing and maintaining a positive attitude.
