How to treat advanced lung cancer effectively? Inventory of treatment methods for advanced lung cancer

I believe everyone is familiar with lung cancer. Lung cancer can usually be divided into early and middle and late stages according to the condition of the disease. Due to the lack of knowledge about lung cancer and the lack of obvious early symptoms, most patients are already in the middle and late stages when they seek medical treatment. If they do not receive treatment early, it will inevitably pose a threat to the patient's life.

With the worsening of air pollution and changes in people's eating and living habits, the incidence of lung cancer in today's society has begun to rise year by year, with a trend of getting younger, and the mortality rate is also rising. Many patients underestimate their own symptoms and find that the disease has developed to the late stage when they seek medical treatment. At this time, patients are most concerned about how to treat the disease. Let us learn about the treatment methods of advanced lung cancer.

Simply put, advanced lung cancer indicates that the patient's condition has developed to a very serious stage. Therefore, treatment should be aimed at improving the patient's quality of life. The treatment of advanced lung cancer is usually based on surgery. For patients with surgical indications, surgery should be performed as soon as possible to remove the tumor. For patients who are temporarily unable to undergo surgery, they should actively strive for surgical opportunities, and preoperative radiotherapy and other methods can be used to reduce the scope of the disease.

Surgery can usually only remove local lesions, but cancer cells have already spread to the patient's body, so chemotherapy is also needed to eliminate the cancer cells in the patient's cells as much as possible. The chemotherapy cycle is usually determined according to the patient's condition, and also depends on the patient's physical condition after surgery. In addition, Chinese medicine treatment has also been widely used in clinical practice.

In addition to scientific treatment methods, since surgery and chemotherapy can cause great damage to the patient's vitality, patients should also try their best to supplement their body nutrition and achieve a balanced nutrition during chemotherapy. To ensure the safety of the diet, it is recommended to develop a professional diet plan under the guidance of a doctor or professional nutritionist. At the same time, patients should adhere to the plan. Good physical strength can allow patients to survive the chemotherapy cycle and better treat the disease.
