Can proton therapy be used to treat local metastasis of lung cancer?

Local metastasis of lung cancer in the lungs can generally be treated with proton therapy. However, the specific situation still needs to be judged based on the patient's physical condition and the severity of the disease.

1. Possible situations: If the patient is relatively young, has good physical fitness, and has no obvious discomfort symptoms, proton radiotherapy can be used to treat the disease, which can inhibit the spread of cancer cells and thus prolong the patient's life. However, when doing proton radiotherapy, it is necessary to use it reasonably under the guidance of a doctor and avoid self-medication to avoid adverse reactions caused by improper medication.

2. Situations where it is not possible: However, if the patient is older, has poor physical fitness, and has obvious discomfort symptoms, such as chest tightness and shortness of breath, proton radiotherapy is not recommended to improve the condition. Because proton radiotherapy at this time may aggravate the condition and is not conducive to the recovery of the disease.

In addition, you should also pay attention to a healthy diet in your daily life, try to eat more foods with high protein content, such as eggs, milk, etc., and you can also eat fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples, tomatoes, etc., to supplement the body with the nutrients it needs, which is beneficial to your health. At the same time, you should maintain a good attitude, avoid frequent anger, and avoid excessive tension, otherwise it will affect the effect of proton radiotherapy.
