Is there any way to treat lung cancer if I already feel pain?

If a patient has lung cancer and is already feeling pain, it can usually be improved through general treatment, drug therapy, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc.

1. Treatment options

1. General treatment: It is recommended that patients maintain a good attitude and avoid excessive tension and anxiety. At the same time, they should pay attention to rest, ensure adequate sleep time, and avoid staying up late. In addition, they should also increase their nutritional intake and eat more high-quality protein foods and fresh fruits and vegetables, which can supplement the various nutrients needed by the body and are beneficial to health.

2. Drug treatment: For patients with more severe pain symptoms, they can take analgesics under the guidance of a doctor, such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, celecoxib capsules, etc., which can have a relieving effect.

3. Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy is a treatment method that uses high-energy rays to kill tumor cells. It is mainly used in the clinic for patients with lung cancer who are in the middle or late stages and cannot or refuse surgery. Its main mechanism of action is that ionizing radiation damages the DNA of cancer cells, causing cancer cell necrosis or inhibiting their growth and reproduction, and can block blood vessels, reduce the blood supply to the tumor, and shrink the tumor volume.

4. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment that uses chemical drugs to kill cancer cells or prevent their growth. Commonly used chemotherapy drugs include paclitaxel injection, gefitinib hydrochloride tablets, etc. However, chemotherapy may cause a series of adverse reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss, etc., and medication treatment needs to be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor.

2. Untreatable Methods

If the patient's condition is serious and has distant metastasis, palliative surgery can be performed to remove the lesion, thereby prolonging the patient's life. However, if the patient does not cooperate with the doctor for treatment in time, the condition may worsen and even endanger life and health. Therefore, once lung cancer is diagnosed, the patient should actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
