What are the reactions of early lung cancer? How to treat it?

Patients with early-stage lung cancer generally do not have obvious symptoms and signs, and usually need to be treated with surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc. according to their condition.

1. Reasons

Since the tumor is small in size, it has little impact on lung tissue. Therefore, patients may not experience any symptoms or discomfort in the early stages. As the tumor gradually grows, it may cause symptoms such as coughing, sputum, and chest pain.

2. Treatment Methods

1. Surgery: For patients with early-stage lung cancer, if the lesions are localized and have not metastasized, surgery can be performed to remove the lesions and achieve the goal of cure. Commonly used surgical methods include segmentectomy and lobectomy.

2. Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy is a local treatment method that uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells. It is suitable for patients with advanced lung cancer who cannot tolerate surgery or are not suitable for surgery. However, radiotherapy may cause some side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, skin redness and swelling, etc.

3. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is a method of using anticancer drugs to kill cancer cells. It is suitable for patients with non-small cell lung cancer of all stages. Commonly used chemotherapy drugs include cisplatin injection, paclitaxel injection, etc.

In addition, targeted therapy and other methods can also be used for treatment. It is recommended that patients seek medical treatment in a timely manner and choose appropriate treatment plans under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, pay attention to maintaining a good attitude and avoid excessive tension and anxiety.
