What is the most effective way to treat lung cancer? Several effective ways to treat lung cancer

As air pollution becomes more and more serious, people are under more and more pressure and confusion. Many people have developed the habit of smoking, which has led to an upward trend in lung cancer. Therefore, lung cancer patients are very scared. In fact, there is no need to worry even if you suffer from such a disease, because early detection and early treatment of this disease can be cured. Next, I will tell you how to treat this disease.

(1) Surgical treatment: Surgery is the first choice for radical treatment of lung cancer. For non-small cell lung cancer, except for some stage IIIb and IV, surgical treatment should be the main treatment or strive for surgical treatment. Radical resection is the only treatment method that can achieve clinical cure for lung cancer patients. Even for locally advanced lung cancer, other treatment methods can be used to shrink the cancer lesions first, and then surgical resection can be strived for. If the lesion is small, reasonable comprehensive treatment can be arranged after surgery, and the survival time of most patients can be extended. Patients with early lung cancer, such as early stage Ia lung cancer, can achieve clinical cure through surgery.

In surgical treatment, more and more lung cancer cases can be treated with minimally invasive treatment, that is, thoracoscopic or small incision methods without cutting muscles, which can also achieve the purpose of radical resection, greatly reduce the patient's postoperative pain, and also increase the patient's requirements for beauty.

(2) Chemotherapy: At present, chemotherapy for lung cancer in my country has been aligned with international standards. Based on the international standard drug use for lung cancer chemotherapy, my country has also formulated standard chemotherapy guidelines for small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Lung cancer chemotherapy is divided into first-line chemotherapy and second-line chemotherapy. In other words, even if the first-line chemotherapy fails, the patient can switch to the second-line chemotherapy regimen.

(3) Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy is one of the commonly used methods for lung cancer treatment. However, the effect of radiotherapy varies with the histological type of lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is the most sensitive to radiotherapy, followed by squamous cell lung cancer, and adenocarcinoma is the least sensitive.

(4) Targeted therapy: Targeted therapy drugs such as Iressa and Tarceva, which are based on EGFR mutation detection, are particularly beneficial for middle-aged and elderly patients with advanced lung cancer who cannot tolerate chemotherapy.

(5) Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine: You can take Chinese herbal medicine to strengthen your body, eliminate evil, fight tumors, and enhance your body's immunity. Long-term use will also have good results.

After understanding the treatment of lung cancer, I want to tell you that if you have any abnormalities in your body, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. Even if you are diagnosed with lung cancer, you don’t have to worry too much. Keep a positive attitude and increase your confidence in defeating the disease. It is possible to cure this disease. But the most important thing is that you should detect the disease early and treat it under the guidance of a doctor. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
