How to prolong life after having lung cancer? Lung cancer patients who want to prolong their life need to know these things

The most worrying thing for every person with lung cancer during the treatment process is whether the disease can be cured. If it cannot be cured, when will the disease take their life. Now let's answer the question that lung cancer patients are most concerned about: how to prolong their lives through treatment.

At present, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are still the classic "three major weapons" for lung cancer, but biological therapy, psychotherapy, lifestyle intervention and other means cannot be ignored. Only by flexibly applying the above "weapons" and comprehensive treatment can the best therapeutic effect be achieved. First of all, lung cancer must be diagnosed as soon as possible, including: whether it is lung cancer, pathological type, stage and even assessment of the whole body condition. Secondly, develop the most appropriate treatment strategy for the patient. For example, for early patients, surgery is the best choice. Some patients need chemotherapy after surgery to prevent recurrence and improve the efficacy of surgery.

As for the dosage and frequency of chemotherapy, it is necessary to control it flexibly. Too much will cause harm, and too little will "encourage evil". For patients with locally advanced disease, chemotherapy can be used first to reduce the stage and create conditions for surgery. For patients with absolutely advanced disease, who have lost the opportunity for surgery, chemotherapy can be used to control tumor progression and relieve symptoms. Finally, even if the operation is successful, you should not be careless after the operation. Measures such as traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen the body, psychological support, and lifestyle intervention must keep up.

In fact, no matter what disease it is, it is very beneficial for us to treat it as early as possible. However, if we miss the best time to treat lung cancer, we can only use chemotherapy to treat the disease. However, during the treatment process of chemotherapy, we not only need to endure greater pain, but also bear high treatment costs.
