Lung cancer in the late stage without chemotherapy, what is the conservative treatment method

If patients with advanced lung cancer do not undergo chemotherapy, they can take radiotherapy, targeted drug therapy, immunotherapy and other methods to improve their condition. It is recommended to choose the appropriate treatment method under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Physical therapy

1. Radiotherapy: Radiation has a killing effect on cancer cells and is often used as one of the auxiliary treatments for advanced cancers in clinical practice. Radiation kills tumor cells or inhibits their growth, thereby alleviating the patient's symptoms and prolonging their survival. For small cell lung cancer, radiotherapy is the main treatment method; for non-small cell lung cancer, it is mainly used for palliative treatment.

2. Targeted drug therapy: Targeted drugs are drugs designed for specific gene mutations or abnormal protein expression, which can accurately attack cancer cells without damaging normal tissues. Commonly used targeted drugs include erlotinib tablets, gefitinib tablets, anlotinib hydrochloride capsules, etc. These drugs can inhibit the proliferation and spread of cancer cells by blocking the signal transduction pathways of cancer cells, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the disease.

3. Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy is a new type of anti-tumor treatment that uses the body's own immune system to fight cancer cells. It activates T cells or other immune cells in the immune system to enable them to recognize and attack cancer cells. Currently, commonly used immune checkpoint inhibitors include pembrolizumab injection, nivolumab injection, etc.

2. Diet adjustment

In addition to the above common methods, you can also adjust your diet structure appropriately and eat more foods rich in high-quality protein, such as eggs, milk, lean meat, etc., to enhance your body's resistance. At the same time, you should also pay attention to rest, avoid overwork, and maintain a good attitude, which will help improve your quality of life.

If you experience any discomfort, seek medical treatment immediately.
