Why did advanced lung cancer finally heal on its own

It is extremely rare for lung cancer to heal spontaneously in the late stages, and it is usually not simply attributed to spontaneous recovery. Lung cancer is a malignant tumor, and its advanced stage means that the tumor has spread to other parts of the body, the condition is more serious, and the possibility of spontaneous recovery is extremely low.

There is almost no spontaneous recovery of advanced lung cancer, because malignant tumors have the characteristics of unlimited proliferation and metastasis. Once they develop to the advanced stage, it is difficult to completely eliminate them through the body's own immune system or other natural mechanisms. When you hear that a patient with advanced lung cancer "healed on his own", you need to be cautious and consider other possible reasons, such as misdiagnosis, false progression, or significant manifestation of treatment effects.

Although it is difficult to cure lung cancer in the late stage, active treatment can significantly prolong the patient's survival and improve the quality of life. Chemotherapy is the process of injecting chemical drugs into the patient's body and transporting the drugs to the whole body through the blood circulation, thereby killing cancer cells. Chemotherapy is one of the commonly used treatments for advanced lung cancer and can effectively inhibit the growth and spread of tumors. In addition, based on the patient's specific situation and tumor type, the doctor will develop a personalized chemotherapy plan to achieve the best treatment effect. Targeted therapy can also be performed, which is an emerging treatment method that inhibits the growth and spread of tumors by precisely targeting specific genes or proteins in tumor cells. Targeted therapy usually requires genetic testing to determine whether the patient is suitable for specific targeted drugs. For patients with non-small cell lung cancer with gene mutations such as EGFR and ALK, targeted therapy can significantly prolong survival.

Although spontaneous recovery from advanced lung cancer is extremely rare, active treatment and comprehensive management can significantly prolong the patient's survival and improve their quality of life. Patients and their families should maintain an optimistic attitude and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment recommendations to achieve the best treatment results.
