What are the treatments for lung cancer? The 4 most effective treatments for lung cancer

In the treatment of lung cancer, surgical resection is the most common method. On this basis, we can also do our best to maintain the original function of the lungs. Of course, the treatment of lung cancer also needs to be based on auxiliary treatment, especially after surgery, the application of auxiliary treatment is indispensable. The following is an introduction to the treatment of lung cancer:

1. Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is far less effective for non-small cell lung cancer than for small cell lung cancer. The main treatments include adjuvant chemotherapy, single-drug and combined therapy in radiotherapy. Chemotherapy is an effective method for treating small cell lung cancer, mainly including combined chemotherapy, alternating chemotherapy and single-drug chemotherapy, and is an indispensable method for treating lung cancer.

2. Surgical treatment

In the past, most attending physicians would advocate the maximum removal of lung cancer or the maximum preservation of lung function for the treatment of lung cancer; but now most attending physicians advocate lobectomy and a combination of multiple treatment methods. These mainly include lobectomy, pneumonectomy, segmentectomy, sleeve lobectomy, cryosurgery, standardized lobectomy, tumor resection, etc.

3. Radiation therapy

Radiotherapy for small cell lung cancer is often used in combination with chemotherapy to achieve the goal of cure; radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer mainly includes radical radiotherapy, preoperative radiotherapy, postoperative radiotherapy, brachytherapy and interstitial radiotherapy.

IV. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

TCM treatment is based on the principles of softening and dispersing nodules, strengthening the body and eliminating evil, and treating both the symptoms and the root causes. On the one hand, it can effectively kill and restrain cancer cells and alleviate the condition. On the other hand, it can also regulate the patient's whole body and treat the disease based on syndrome differentiation, effectively improve clinical symptoms and enhance the body's immunity. TCM treatment plays a leading role in the treatment of advanced lung cancer.
