Lung cancer has metastasized in the late stage, how to treat it and live longer

When lung cancer metastasizes in the late stage, patients can receive comprehensive treatments such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy to prolong their survival. If the condition is more serious, surgery can also be used to improve it.

1. Non-drug treatment

1. Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy is a local treatment method that uses radiation to treat tumors. It can directly act on cancer cells, inhibit the growth and spread of cancer cells, and to a certain extent prolong the patient's life.

2. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy refers to the use of chemical drugs to kill cancer cells or prevent their growth. Commonly used chemotherapy drugs include paclitaxel injection, irinotecan hydrochloride injection, etc. You can choose the appropriate treatment plan according to your own situation under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Targeted therapy: Targeted therapy is a treatment method that targets identified carcinogenic sites at the cellular and molecular levels. It is commonly used to treat lung cancer, breast cancer, lymphoma and other diseases. Common drugs include gefitinib tablets, bevacizumab injection, etc.

2. Surgical treatment

For patients in better physical condition, they can also undergo treatment such as segmentectomy and lobectomy under the guidance of a doctor, which will help control the progression of the disease.

In addition, patients are advised to pay attention to healthy diet and eat more high-quality protein foods and fresh fruits and vegetables, such as eggs, milk, apples, tomatoes, etc. At the same time, they should also exercise properly, such as walking slowly and practicing Tai Chi, which is beneficial to improve their immunity. If obvious discomfort occurs during the period, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease.
