How to treat lung cancer with pleural effusion? The best and most effective treatment for lung cancer

Lung cancer patients in the advanced stage are most likely to have pleural effusion. If pleural effusion occurs, it must be treated promptly. First, the effusion in the pleural cavity must be drained out. Closed thoracic surgery can be used for slow drainage. Secondly, drugs must be injected into the pleural cavity to increase pleural adhesions and kill cancer cells. Certain anti-infection drugs must be taken. Finally, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are performed on lung cancer. Only by controlling the condition of lung cancer can pleural effusion be prevented from occurring again.

Pleural effusion caused by lung cancer is also called malignant pleural effusion. The appearance of malignant pleural effusion symptoms means that lung cancer has entered the late stage, which is a common complication of late stage lung cancer. After the appearance of pleural effusion, it is easy to have shortness of breath and chest tightness. Thoracentesis surgery is necessary to drain, control the pleural effusion, and take medication to treat the pleural effusion. The best treatment for pleural effusion is to control the condition of lung cancer. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be often used to control the condition of lung cancer. The following are the treatments for lung cancer with pleural effusion.

First, when pleural effusion occurs, the growth of the effusion must be effectively controlled. This can be done through closed thoracic drainage surgery to slowly drain the pleural effusion. At the same time, drugs can be injected into the chest cavity to promote pleural adhesion to prevent the expansion of the effusion. Only by treating the pleural effusion can symptoms such as dyspnea be relieved and the patient's life be prolonged.

Second, pleural effusion can easily cause lung inflammation, so pneumonia should be treated actively and certain anti-inflammatory drugs should be taken.

Third, the main cause of pleural effusion is lung cancer, so anti-tumor treatment must be carried out on the primary lesion. Targeted drug therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other methods can be used for treatment. During the treatment, nutrition should be strengthened, more high-quality protein should be consumed, sufficient calorie intake should be ensured, and more exercise should be done to enhance physical fitness.
