How to treat advanced lung cancer that has spread

When lung cancer has spread in the late stage, palliative surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other methods are usually recommended for treatment. The specific treatment method needs to be determined based on the patient's physical condition and the severity of the disease.

1. Palliative Surgery

If the patient is in good health and the cancer cells have not metastasized to distant sites, palliative surgery can be used to remove the lesions, which can effectively control the progression of the disease. After surgery, you should also pay attention to the care of the wound area, avoid getting it wet too early, and avoid eating spicy foods to avoid affecting your body's recovery.

2. Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy is a local treatment method that uses high-energy rays to irradiate tumor tissue to inhibit and kill cancer cells. Since this disease is a malignant tumor disease, it may cause certain damage to the lungs during the course of the disease. At this time, radiotherapy can play a role in auxiliary treatment and can also achieve the purpose of prolonging survival.

3. Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy refers to the use of chemical drugs to kill cancer cells in the body or prevent their growth. Commonly used chemotherapy drugs include paclitaxel injection, cisplatin injection, etc. However, this method may cause serious adverse reactions to the body, such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss, etc., so you need to strictly follow the doctor's instructions during medication.

In addition, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and other methods can also be used to improve the disease, which is conducive to the rapid improvement of the disease. If the patient's discomfort symptoms worsen or are accompanied by other symptoms, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease.
