What methods are generally used to treat lung cancer? Several commonly used treatments for lung cancer

The main treatment for lung cancer is lung cancer resection. One thing that needs to be strictly noted is that when lung cancer patients undergo surgical resection, they must also pay attention to the application of nursing measures. If the nursing measures are not applied properly, it is very likely to cause lung cancer recurrence. The following are some common treatments for lung cancer:

1. Pneumonectomy

Generally, right pneumonectomy is avoided as much as possible, but when the tumor is located in the central part and involves large blood vessels or main bronchi, pneumonectomy is still the best choice. Because removing half of the lung tissue will have a certain impact on the quality of life after surgery.

2. Partial lung resection

Removal of a small portion of lung tissue is suitable for patients with peripheral and very early lung cancer, or those with early lesions and combined cardiopulmonary dysfunction who cannot tolerate lobectomy. It is also often used for locally recurrent or metastatic lung cancer.

3. Bronchoplasty and lung resection

The surgery of removing the affected upper-level bronchus and reconstructing the corresponding airway is complicated and risky, and is only performed in large medical centers with experience.

4. Lobectomy/bilobectomy

Lobectomy/bilobectomy is a standard lung cancer resection procedure with reliable efficacy, few complications, and complies with both surgical and oncological principles.

The specific causes of lung cancer are not yet very clear. Therefore, in terms of prevention, we must pay attention to the most likely causes, especially the most dangerous causes such as smoking, which must be controlled. But one thing that needs to be noted is that lung cancer patients must pay attention to postoperative care. It should be noted that lung cancer is likely to recur.
