What treatments are needed after radiotherapy and chemotherapy after lung cancer resection

Patients who have undergone lung cancer resection need to be comprehensively judged based on the severity of their condition and their physical condition. If the patient's condition is relatively mild and their physical fitness is relatively good, they generally do not need special treatment.

However, if the patient's condition is more serious and his physical condition is poor, he may need to continue to receive auxiliary treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

1. No need: If the patient's condition is relatively mild, with no obvious discomfort and no distant metastasis, you can follow the doctor's advice to use gefitinib tablets, erlotinib hydrochloride tablets and other drugs for targeted treatment after surgery. At the same time, you should go to the hospital for regular checkups to observe changes in your condition.

2. Need: If the patient's condition is serious and cancer cells have spread and metastasized, and surgery alone is ineffective, then combined treatment with radiotherapy is needed under the guidance of a doctor to inhibit the growth and development of cancer cells, thereby prolonging the patient's survival time. If necessary, chemotherapy can also be used to improve the condition, such as cyclophosphamide injection, paclitaxel injection, etc.

Patients are advised to maintain a good attitude and avoid being too excited or nervous, so as not to affect the recovery of the disease. In addition, patients should pay attention to rest, ensure adequate sleep, and avoid staying up late. In terms of diet, try to focus on light and easily digestible foods. You can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples and tomatoes, and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, such as peppers and peppercorns. If you feel obvious discomfort during the period, you need to seek medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.
