What are the treatments for advanced lung cancer? Three effective treatments for advanced lung cancer

Lung cancer is also a disease that is very common among people nowadays. This disease has a great impact on our normal life, especially in the late stage of lung cancer, which poses a great threat to life. Therefore, we must treat it in time. Let's take a look at the treatment methods for late stage lung cancer.

Generally speaking, conservative treatment is necessary, and for patients with advanced lung cancer, Chinese medicine is one of the treatment methods. This treatment method can effectively improve the patient's comprehensive immune ability, kill residual cancer cells, inhibit the survival and spread of cancer cells, consolidate the treatment effect, and ultimately achieve clinical cure, which is very important for patients.

1. Surgical treatment:

Traditional treatment methods include surgery, which can be divided into radical surgery and palliative surgery. Although surgery is one of the effective means of treating lung cancer, it has many shortcomings. It not only causes great trauma to patients, but also has very limited indications, and often only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. In addition, after surgery, Chinese medicine should be taken in time to help postoperative recovery and prevent postoperative complications.

2. Radiotherapy:

Radiotherapy is also a method for treating advanced lung cancer, but this method has great limitations. It uses radiation to inhibit the spread and metastasis of tumor cells. Clinically, radiotherapy has the best effect on small cell lung cancer, followed by squamous cell carcinoma, and the worst on adenocarcinoma. However, radiotherapy often causes radiation pneumonitis, and has great toxic side effects. Lung cancer patients with weak constitution or older age generally cannot tolerate it.

3. Chemotherapy:

Chemotherapy is also one of the treatments for advanced lung cancer, but the side effects of this method are very large. It uses chemical drugs to fight cancer cells. Its short-term efficacy is good. In order to alleviate the pain of patients, it can be combined with traditional Chinese medicine for comprehensive treatment. Through the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen the body, it can improve the body's defense against cancer cells and effectively prevent the recurrence and metastasis of cancer cells.
